<--- waving at Escapee. What shall I sing now? Hmmmmmm, oh by the way did I tell you I'm part Jigglypuff? Yep I start singing and 5 minutes later Melodie is asleep. Personally I think it's in self defense.

We don't get tornadoes here in CA (well not much) we had one about 10 years ago bust a telephone pole. Personally, I LOVE wild weather. I'm not crazy, well not much.

A few years ago N. Cal was slammed with ridiculous winter storms. The state declared emergency and we got a new roof, fence, window, and porch swing, LOL. Now, damn if we could have gotten our house painted out of the deal....

Serate, I'm going to assume that you're ok and just still rattled but I'll keep checking in periodically until I see another message from you.

Thanks JMM & Escapee. All is fine. Tornado - if it hit they are still trying to determine if it actually hit down - was less than a mile from where hubby works. Why I couldn't get ahold of my hubby? He had a Veteran with him, so moved out into a common area away from all the windows, and continued to work with him on his claim. Everybody else went to the storm room. Hubby asked Veteran if he wanted to go, he said no but it was ok if hubby went. Hubby said I'm here to help you, not hide from a little wind. Veterans always come first for him. I ended up having a panic attack. My brother called and told me to get the hell outta the bathroom cuz he knows how freaked out I get. Should have stayed on the computer, don't think I would have freaked out. lol I lived for 12 years in Olathe Kansas. Tornadoes all the time, esp in October. Only ONE time in 12 years did a tornado hit when I was in Olathe - many times when I was visiting the folks in Iowa. Thanks for everything, even if I freaked and never came back! Ya'll are the greatest!

Don't want to relive this half hour for a long time, if ever. I miss my basement in Iowa. [about the only thing I miss tho lol] 1/2 bath is NOT big enough for me, 1 pup dog, and 3 kitties!!!! At least I had something to sit on tho.
Warning downgraded to watch. Sun is coming back. At least it POURED! We needed the rain. Hopefully there was enough rain to put out the wildfires in the county below and the county to the west.

I know someday I'll have sunshine again. But will those of you who are in the areas where temps are in the 90's today do me a favor? Just turn all your fans on and aim them for the most southwestern corner of the lower 48? Maybe if y'all do that, we'll get something that's warmer than 66 degrees! 'kthxbai!

Costa we were up to 82^ before the storms. I would have gladly given it to you. 66^ sounds perfect to me. We set an all time record of days over 90^, hottest summer, days w/o rain, little amount of rain, and a few more annoying records. At least for the most part the humidity wasn't all that bad. I'm ready for cold weather.

We are officially out of drought mode. And our rainfall this year already exceeds our "normal" (for both calendar year and recording year). Of course if this really IS gonna be a La Nina summer, we are supposed to have NO rain during the winter. But the way our weather has been for most of this entire 2010 year (crappy!), I'm not betting on ANYTHING. I JUST WANT SUN AND WARMTH!!

Great...now the practically the entire state of PA is in a tornado watch until 9PM. Just what I need today. My DH will be freaking out all night. He is terrified of tornadoes and wigs out whenever anyone mentions a possibility of one close by. I just hope he can get Tay home from school before the wind and rain really start up bad.

Me too, Costa. It's too early in the year for us to be this cold. Darren took out the window cooler yesterday and shut the dang living room window and covered up the big cooler on the roof. But, neither of the heaters are lit and I'm freezing my butt off. We've still got pretty high winds. Without them it might actually be sorta nice, cooler than I like but not downright cold!

Go ahead and rub it in, Dfen. Winter suffering is right around the corner. Today in Maine, it was cloudy and dark but nearly 60 degrees which was nice.

I thought I saw Helen Hunt twirl by in a cloud of ping-pong balls at one point, but other than that the storms weren't too bad.

Let's try this the easier way. This was taken w/my cell phone camera on zoom, so the resolution is a little wonky, but it sure shows the awesome waves we were having today!
