The thing is that it is a different crane from the last one. The building has no luck.

(71,265 posts)2. Yep. We are under a tornado watch. I can see some clouds rotating.

(53,066 posts)6. You'll be okay
A watch just means a tornado could develop. There hasn't been a sighting. We have those all summer long.

(71,265 posts)18. I thought so as well but I just heard it is a different crane company.

Have a friend who got caught in the storm in Rockville MD. Said he got soaked all the way through to his skin (through raincoat, suit, etc., even water inside his rain boots). He said it was unreal.
Here in DE I was home for lunch when the first line came through. It sounded (and looked) like an army of angry squirrels were pelting our roof with acorns and twigs.
