Holy Hell, tornado on the ground within miles from where I live.

I love Spring! It's going away from me, but it's in the same city. Power flashes confirmed and everything. I hope everyone over there is ok.

Update: May be a new one developing, about 4 small towns are in the path of all of this nasty weather.

4. I'm in Houston. We had a 3 hour thunder, lightening, and rain

storm yesterday evening. Here, 6.7 inches of rain in about 2 hours.

The weatherman had no clue, predicted okay weather.


In my next life, I want to be a weatherman. :eyes:

12. What a nice surprise!

Oh brother!!

[babylonsister]

15. Not really. We had at least 10" last weekend.

Normally that's nice, but puhleeze!


Lots of rain, I'm not bemoaning (ha!) it, and that's the way Houston, the bayou city, rolls.

This rain has killed some plants in my garden, but I'll live. I know there are places that need it.

16. I used to work for Atmospheric Services,

Environment Canada.

The chief meteorologist used to moan, "If I were a witch doctor casting bones, I'd be right as often."

5. It's been a long time since

we had really bad weather like an actual tornado around where I live. I haven't wished for a storm shelter in a long time!

The panhandle of Texas where you can see your porch light from 20 miles away. LOL!!

[seabeyond]

we have had two blessedly mild springs in a row. three yrs ago though, wow

all around us.

and the only thing to stop the wind is barbed wire fence, wink

[ezgoingrl]

10. Here's hoping your mild Spring continues.

*crossing fingers*

2. ....where the wind comes sweeping down the plain!!!!

The song says nothing about the tornadoes, though, does it?

[applegrove]

3. Yup there was a huge wind outside my parent's apartment tonight. And some flashes. I didn't see a

funnel cloud but the winds were really strong and blew an awning about a block to some electrical wires. The police blocked off the street.

I live in Ontario. We don't usually get tornadoes. Don't know what the "wind event" was tonight and am staying up to see what they say about it on the local news.

7. I think I'd rather deal with tornados than earthquakes though.

Tornadoes usually come with warnings. Earthquakes have the extra fun element of surprise.

9. i grew up in calif. give me earthquakes anytime. they dont take you high in the sky

feet stay on the ground, or butt anyway, lol. i hit 4 earthquakes one period. i kept moving where they were happening. most arent dangerous, so kinda fun.

11. I stayed in California one Summer.

I experienced a couple of Earthquakes, one was almost 7 on the Ricter (spelling?) scale and it scared the crap out of me. I was scared of loud noises for a couple of months afterward.

[seabeyond]

14. lol, that is funny

early 80's. mammoth and hollister, the two big ones i experienced. then you get to ride the after shocks, lol

8. Hang in and stay safe.

[ezgoingrl]

13. Yep, they're confirming damage now

to homes and businesses, crap.
