Heads up, CT DUers. Tornado WARNING (not watch) just issued for Fairfield County

[Atman]

Moving Northeast up the Merritt Parkway. If effect until 11:36 am

[Marrah_G]

1. crazy

[RC]

2. I have no idea where you are at.

A state would be nice.

[Atman]

3. The "CT" didn't provide a clue?

Connecticut.

[siligut]

5. The climate change mythification resulted in an inaccurate interpretation?

CT can also mean conspiracy theory

[unblock]

8. yes! and delaware's state abbreviation is the same as germany's 2-letter country code!

coincidence? i think not!

[siligut]

14. The toll bridges are the second clue

The underlying principle is the intention to restrict mobility, the enemy of a totalitarian state

[rusty fender]

31. CTs in CT? Oh my!

[RC]

7. Nope. so many people around here use duplicate acronyms and initials instead of spelling things out,

it's hard to know what they mean around here. A CT DU'er could mean a "Certified Turkey" as far as anybody knows. DU has its share of those.

[siligut]

11. I understand when people don't say in their profiles where they are

But I would like, when we are talking about weather or other localized phenomena, for people to provide their whereabouts.

[RC]

13. Absolutely.

Somebody posting that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse just road into town, run for your lives. No clue to even which end of the US they are. Which way did they come in? Where are they? Nobody but the poster knows. What good is that to post?

[siligut]

15. The benefit is to create nebulous fear that is unverifiable

Chaos is the friend of rumormongers.

[WinkyDink]

21. Ridiculous.

[siligut]

24. So when someone posts that Revelation 6:4 is happening somewhere

It will not result in fear? Please understand, this is a hypothetical conversation used to make a point, we are just having fun

[hatrack]

27. When someone posts a weather warning, location is generally Item #2, after "WARNING!"

If you can't understand context as simple as that, I can't help you or your nebulous conspiratorial PTB Fear-Fog Generating Machine.

[siligut]

30. ". . . nebulous conspiratorial PTB Fear-Fog Generating Machine."

Great description, but that machine isn't mine. My failure to comprehend context is a false construct of your failure to comprehend both context and humor. The responses to RC's and my exchange in this thread are hilarious and a beautiful example of how Internet message boards can create confusion. I am aghast

[WinkyDink]

22. Are you being DELIBERATELY OBTUSE? "CT," "Fairfield County," "Merritt Parkway." You think this is

ALASKA?

[pipi_k]

33. As they say...

Google is your friend.

I live in MA, so I know where Fairfield County and the Merritt Parkway are, but even if I didn't, I would Google those two things and voila!!!

[RC]

34. Well it sure ain't Missouri or North Dakota or Hawaii.

Except for a visit to Ottawa in Canada and St Petersburg in Florida, I have never been that far East. So I would have no idea

[matt819]

25. So you're saying the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse are coming to town?

Talk about burying the lede. Why didn't you mention that first?

And which town are we talking about again?

Man, it's hard to keep up. First it's tornados that are part of some conspiracy theory in Germany, or Delaware, or Connecticut. Now it's horseback riders.

[siligut]

32. DE is the place

RC didn't want to start the nebulous conspiratorial PTB Fear-Fog Generating Machine as the fog has been shown to cause asphyxiation.

[WinkyDink]

20. Good God. The OP states BOTH "CT" and "Fairfield County." it doesn't MATTER where the POSTER is.

[WinkyDink]

19. "Fairfield County"???????

[HappyMe]

4. I just saw that.

There are huge delays at JFK too.

It was raining so hard here this morning I could barely see across the street. We lost power for a couple of hours.

[RebelOne]

10. I am in Cherokee County, Georgia,

and was hit by the outside fringe of a tornado a few weeks ago. Thousands of people including me were without power for 2 days.

[malaise]

6. WTF???

Stay safe folks - let me call my sister - in -law

[cali]

9. with any luck it will hit New Canaan

[siligut]

12. No love for New Canaan?

New Canaan
Town in Connecticut
New Canaan is a town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States, 8 miles northeast of Stamford. The population was 19,738 according to the 2010 census. The town is one of the wealthiest communities in the nation. Wikipedia

They can afford it? People who have options tend to choose their location with care. And while the intensity and frequency of weather has changed, geophysics have not.

[cali]

23. hometown. no love lost.

grew up there. New Canaan Country Day School. Mother still lives there- when she isn't at her home here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilton_Crescent

one sister in Darien, another in Ridgefield (bordering towns) and another in Fairfield.

Me? I'm in VT, poor as a church mouse. It's a boring story.

[siligut]

26. Your sisters are probably getting the weather?

But if the tornado still on the same track, they will not experience a crisis. I am curious about your story, maybe you will PM me?

[Nye Bevan]

28. Kind of mean-spirited to wish that upon anyone (nt)

[cali]

29. it was a joke in bad taste. not really wishing for my mother or sisters to get

hit by a tornado.

[bigwillq]

16. The warning has expired (nt)

[Roland99]

17. holy crap

friend of mine lives just off the Merritt. Although he's probably in MA on business his family is still at home....

[dionysus]

18. i know, don't get the conspiracy theorists started on tornados...

they're a byproduct of chemtrails dontcha know!

[Atman]

35. Just got NEW WARNINGS for Hartford County and Tolland County.

They actually to seek shelter NOW. This is a bit odd for our part of the country!
