I used to have a weather radio like the ones you describe. It woke us up in the middle of the night with weather alerts for towns over 100 miles from here. Finally we just trashed it. Our local NBC station weatherman has been promoting a new one that can be programed for a smaller area. I haven't bought one yet, but the TV station has been touring all the communities around here programing the radios for free. They are sold at some small grocery store chain. I don't know the brand but I will try to find out. I need to get one anyway as we get quite a few tornados here in North Alabama. We have had so little rain here it is horrible. Crops are burned up and yards are suffering. They warn on TV that among others problems, mice and snakes may come into your home. Well. I went into the utility room where I have a freezer to get some ice cream. There right beside the freezer was a snake. I about died. I was home alone at the time. I slammed the door and huried to call my husband who was 30 minutes away to get home at once. It seemed to take forever for him to get here and then some time to find the snake when he did. It had not waited in the same place for him to get home. I have a phobia about snakes that goes beyong just being afraid of them. There will be some major work done tomorrow to plug any hole that one could slither through again

Looks like the Texans decided to share. It rained here for hours last night. When the storms first hit, we were at the new house. Poor little Whitney is terrified of storms and didn't have anywhere there to hide (usually she crawls under the covers). I took her into the hallway and sat there with her (no windows or anything in there, I thought if she couldn't see the lightning she'd be calmer. She finally burrowed behind me (I was sitting against the wall) and seemed okay. Of course, I had left my laptop connected at the apartment and when I got back I discovered that the lightning had killed my ethernet port. I'm actually at McDonald's now, paying to use their Wi-Fi - not just so I could post at TVCH...I love you guys, but I'm wayyyy to cheap for that! I actually had moving-related business to take care of...that and ordering a new ethernet card, but you pay by the 2-hr block and I have an hour left, so I'm getting my money's worth. Of course its back to being sunny and ridiculously hot now. That's what the past couple of days have been like, sunny & ridiculously hot/humid during the day, thunderstorms at night. And, the storms keep starting when I'm ready to go swim! Hmmmppphhh.

It is almost freaky to look outside and see nothing but sunshine, some puffy white clouds here and there and blue sky! Why? Because rain has been predicted through Tuesday. It's 89º F and 52% Humidity right now! Hey, Cdbga, I don't mind sharing the rain, however nobody shared with us for a good part of eight years. Those Georgia thunderstorms are sneaky and scary enough alright! A lightning strike and deafening thunderclap can happen when you least expect it to.

I'll send you some of my sun, Lady. We're under a severe weather warning for most of the week, 100+ temps expected. It's 101 right now with a dry, hot breeze.

It is terrible here, cold and rainy and gray. I was hoping to go to the Beach club, it is the one place that give me peace and tranquility, but, hopefully the weekend will be okay.

The rain quit, clouds parted, the sun went down, and we got to see the fireworks between 9:15 and 9:30 tonight! YAY! It even cooled down into the 80s and was comfortable. We were home by 10.

No "real" rain at my house and we went to one of the nearest cities to watch their fireworks display. Lots of dark clouds, but no rain. On our drive home around 11:30, roads were wet and it had rained at my place, for the umpteenth day in a row! At least in the city, the rain held off for the fireworks. Now I'm wide awake and sleep my not be for a couple of more hours. UGH!

108 forcasted here today. I get hot if it's over 78. I think I might not make it through this summer. Lordy, I live in the wrong state.

Escapee, just move north. Yesterday it was about 90 degrees and today it will be about the same. We can't handle too many hot days here, ya know with the webbed feet and all. LadyTex, sounds like Texas is getting all our rain and my sis in Ft.Worth is not too happy about it!

We're supposed to get a nice thunder and lightning storm over night and maybe some big hail. We definitely need the rain, everyone's grass is so brown and it's very ugly around here!

well no rain here again...we are very very dry and it is becoming very critical for crops in the fields to get rain now to even get a decent yield. I drove through rain yesterday on the way home from getting groceries and when I turned near my house, it slowed and we had crap for rain. Next chance I think is tomorrow

We wound up getting only a tiny bit of rain to go with the noisy thunder and crazy lightning. Looks like they're predicting rain and more storms over the next few days. Of course, this morning, it's sunny and cool but cloudless. I can't believe I have to mow the lawn today, I just did it 3 weeks ago! THAT'S how little rain we've had here, too. Just some stalks of grass that look like hay, the main part of the lawn is short, brown, and dead.

The rain is coming down AGAIN, so much so that the ground cannot hold any. My neighbor has a waterfall from his sidewalk into the street.
