I just checked....yeah severe weather expected overnight but radar shows all the severe storms west of me right now and mostly moving North-northeast. Not sure whether anything substantial will make it here. We've had t-storms expected over the last week that peter out into a few light showers but it's been a lotta gusty wind lately.No I meant tonightI was assuming your were at your TX crib.
Hope he's ok. A second front came thru about 2 hours after the first, I couldn't stay awake for it. We lucked out but in areas north, massive power outages, lots of damage and several deaths.
Yeah I hope so. BTW how is your grandson doing? Getting big and strong yet?
Got to see him Monday and he's amazing, about 15 months old. Walking, shooting baskets into his kid-size backboard and interested in everything. He's the joy of my life right now. Thanks for asking.
For sure and that is great news. I still try to include him and your family in my prayers now and again. Thanks for allowing me the honor.
So, you're in BRAZIL then??????
We’re good. The storms split north ( literal death and destruction…) and south. We had a couple strong storms, power flickered, but just your generic spring action.
I’d argue Mom Nature is a bitch. Not, necessarily, racist..,
Good to hear it. All I saw in my area was the rumble of distant thunder and some light showers which we badly need otherwise I get to worry about fires. We've had some close calls with idiots burning brush in windy, dry conditions the past couple years fortunately they upgraded the volunteer fire dept to a full time unit and it's less than a mile from my place...
We’ve had a lot of rain in the last three weeks - 2+ inches in the last 24 hours alone. It’s soggy. Cleaning up after the dog going in and out is tiring…
Flip a beer bottle cap upside down, you've now made a Texas rain gauge, lol
You could probably whip up some rafter ties and stuff to strengthen the roof a bit. After watching a porch roof on the old single wide that seemed to barely remain standing, yet somehow withstood 50+mph gusts one year, I've come to think that building codes are a little too tight. If you are getting a direct hit off a tornado unless you have a concrete dome it's gonna be bad day regardless of how heavy duty it's been built.My stepdaughter freaks out over storms and stresses over our casual approach. For nocturnal storms, I go to bed as usual. We don’t have a basement and given the structure of this home (we need to move to my home. Stronger. Long story), anything EF2 of stronger is going to be a bad day. I tell my stepdaughter that if I wake and can see the sky, we had an EF2 or below. If I don’t wake up, well, EF3 or stronger
On a related note, I would LOVE to go on a tornado chase “vacation” to OK, KS, etc. I keep threatening my stepdaughter that I’m going to take her with me, to break her of the fear. “Hey, does this rag smell like chloroform”?
Tornado last year, north St. Louis. Washington Park, East St. Louis. Pretty much no white people in either of those places. Coincidence ? I think not.
I'm sure fatiuge-ism was almost non existent for a while? Or was it worse?
So blacks get tornados and whites get floods
