Yep. That's the school my niece teaches at. My brother said Stafford got hit pretty hard too. He said sirens went off all night in Springfield and more storm warnings for tonight.

British columbia COAST

I find this thread fascinating. It strikes me that it would be fun....and interesting if we put where we are as the first line of the thread.

Yeah some of us know where each other lives, like the other day in which I noticed everyone I know on this coast had storm so I looked up the satellite. But not all of us know each other and some people dont have location on their profiles.

***********************

HOLY moley Jbean, you must have had adrenaline rushes like crazy with all those sirens and stuff. I would have freaked a little when the TV station blacked out LOL

I get a lot of sirens here but I find I can ignore it as it means some water is being let loose over the Hydro dam. But it makes ya jump and does sound like an air raid siren, like during the war.

***********************

one of these days there may some kind of storm or disaster and we could maybe track it across the continent this way.

Western New York (just East of Buffalo)

It is crazy windy here today! I'm sure it won't be long before large tree branches start toppling and then we'll start with the power outages. The temps are dropping very quickly, too.

Here is the current warning for my area:
HIGH WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EST TODAY. SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS MORNING WITH GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH. THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH SOMEWHAT BY MIDDAY INTO THE 25 TO 35 MPH RANGE WITH GUSTS OF AROUND 45 MPH FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THE WINDS WILL DIMINISH FURTHER THIS EVENING. A HIGH WIND WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN SUSTAINED WINDS OF 40 MPH ARE EXPECTED FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR...WITH GUSTS OF 58 MPH OR GREATER AT ANY TIME. DAMAGE TO TREES...POWER LINES...AND PROPERTY ARE POSSIBLE WITH WIND OF THIS MAGNITUDE. IF YOU HAVE A HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES BE EXTRA CAREFUL UNTIL THE WIND SUBSIDES.

I'm pretty sure we're getting the higher wind speeds, as it's very difficult to stand outside without getting knocked around. Darn that smoking habit...

Central/northern Maine

It's unseasonably mild, about 50 degrees. The mountains of snow and chunks of ice are melting fast! It's also unusually foggy. Usually any fog has burned off by 9 or 10 a.m., but it's still quite thick here at noon.

(((Jbean and Lola))), glad you're okay. I've been thinking of our tvchers in Indiana, too, and hope all are safe.

Springfield, MO

No adrenaline here, Sunshyne...just pure fear, and anger. It gets old really fast having constant weather problems.

Chilli, Strafford had one fatality, and then the neighboring town, Marshfield, had another. Both were older women. Sad. Some might think it's exciting, but to me, it's just terrifying. There's nothing you can do, but go sit in an intereior room and pray to God that it passes. It really sucks.

BTW, thankfully no snow here last night...today it got up to 55.

The winds were crazy today and reached 130 mph in some area's by Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence river. This happened today on bridge to US. This is the one I take to go shopping. Boy it already made me nervous driving over that bridge.

The International Bridge has been reopened after a driver lost control of his rig and almost tumbled over the side in high winds.

Police said the man is lucky to be alive after the trailer went over the edge at around 9:45 a.m. in strong, gusty winds as he drove over the bridge. Luckily, the tractor caught in the bridge rails which stopped it from falling into the St. Lawrence River.

The bridge links Canada and the U.S.A. at Prescott and Johnstown, N.Y.

The driver received minor injuries but is otherwise fine and the trailer contains a non-hazardous load.

Police said the driver was heading to Odgensburg when the winds caused him to lose control on the Ontario side of the bridge.

Jbean, you live in Springfield? I have a brother and a sister in Springfield and another sister in Marshfield. My brother emailed to give me grief today so I know he lived through the storms. His daughter is due to deliver any day and no baby yet either.

west coast BC,

Grey cloudy and cool, Rainy for a couple of days barely above freezing in temp.

Light dusting of snow late night tonight now is raining again.

BUT I actually came here due to this Strong earthquake reported off Oregon

snip**
A magnitude-6.4 earthquake was recorded 150 miles off the Oregon coast Wednesday. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.


So just a day or so ago we have a couple of big ones up the coast a bit, now some 'stress' is relieved out in the water.

HOPE everyone has enough food and water for at least Two weeks ready to go. Also, some good sleeping bags for cold camping. It is entirely possible that the house would not be safe to stay in if the big one hits.

I heard someone on the radio the other day talk about how we would Really need up to Six months supply of canned food/ rice etc. IF it was a bad earthquake in which infrastructure falls apart, Food delivery to stores may end up delayed etc.

Pea Soup fog with a temp of 45 degrees. I hate this type of fog...I am driving to Monterey today and I pray that it has burned off by the time I leave...hopefully the 152 isn't bad either ugh!!

Dipo...it's some mighty strong winds. Not so much ash blowing up this time, though. I guess those rains a week or so ago helped with that. There is so much crap in the air, though. It's just icky. I don't care for the winds.
Plus my 130 pound dog is scared whitless when it's windy. He's been sitting on my feet all day, where ever I go.
