Now this is about only the 2nd time I've seen this since I lived here... all the weather people are all freaking out, saying that this is the "perfect storm" scenario... WHOOPIE! Of course, I live about right in the middle of that bullseye. If the server dies, it got blown away.

 

 

Yikes, that sounds like the storm we got in August that about destroyed half of the town.

That is right where teh NASCAR race is this weekend (Dallas area I think).

 

That is definitely interesting weather coming your way.

Nice knowing you, pal.

Hunker down, stay safe and all that.

Well, atleast it won't effect me.

 

That's really what's important here.

Don't forget to strap it down, too.

And at the nicer end of Texas, it will be sunny and in the eighties on South Padre Island, where I am heading. Adios Frio. Sipping beers at my favorite ocean side bar, eating fish tacos, watching the sea gulls and dolphins.

Yea, the server definitely needs to get strapped down so it doesn't effect him.

IIRC, Mike said it would be a cold day in hell when you received an MBA

And it was a pretty cold day at Wrigley Field...

We're getting 3 or 4 inches of rain in NJ today. That's what three feet of snow if it was cold enough? Basically, the Nor'easter hitting the Jersey shore will be at its peak, comparable to a Tropical Storm. Just colder.

 

 

Well, here we go again. This time it's not a warmfront right over top of us, but a dryline - that usually means big hail.

 

The last time we had a tornado watch, we had a tornado 5 miles from my house, and even last week we had one (when there were no watches or warnings) a mile from my house.

 

These tornado watches (wheeeeeeeeere is it???? ) are getting old.

Good luck pards.

 

81 and sunny here.

I hear you about this crazy weather. I almost had to think about putting my kids in long pants to go to school today.

That is strange, especially for your neck of the woods.

The elementary school that's two blocks from my house recorded 8.45 inches of rain since 2 this afternoon (it's 10:40 now). Earler, the tornado sirens went off (again) - and I have not seen anything like it since I've been down here. The rain was so hard you couldn't see across the street, and then the wind would shift right away to another direction and blow the rain back the direction it had just blown from.

 

Really weird stuff. It's quiet now, but man there's a lot of water around. Our back yard has 6 inches of standing water and between our houses is like a river of water as everyone's yard drains out.

This picture was taken about 5 miles from my house, on the other side of Michigan City

 

 

The worst of things was a cop car got picked up and taken about a quarter mile and dumped on its roof. The officer sustained some injuries, but they weren't life threatening. the other stuff was property damage.

My town has been hit by the strongest tornado.

 

I win.
