Storm Time!!

[cosmicfolklore]

As usual, we have a devastating storm that ranks a 9 on the TorCon headed our way. It's that time of year for us. I was out tying down the canoe, and removing umbrellas and covering back up the pool this morning... when the thought occurred to me that I no longer had to go get Jackstraw, my goat from out at the farm and bring him in. May he RIP. But, the dogs and cat are all secured in the basement with helmets on. My wife is making my usual grilled cheese and soup that I love to have on stormy days. And, I am popping the last tin of Fire Storm in my cellar.
Anyone else in Alabama or where ever that may be in line of these storms... get safe, get comfortable, and lets hope this is all just hype. And, fire up those pipes.

Stay safe!

Southwest Missouri here, the storm passed already, but we're supposed to have rain throughout today and tomorrow. Good sleeping weather for me to get rested up for work tonight. Window open And the smell of fresh rain is lulling me to sleep.

I slept SOOOO good last night with the rains. I love Spring storms, just not getting my house blown into the river storms, ha ha.

Where in the Hell to meteorologists get these terms like "debris balls"? Like "a tornado headed for you isn't terrifying enough. Now, they have to tell us that the tornado is full of broken boards with nails in them coming atcha. WTF!! "This storm specifically wants to kill and mangle... you."

I’m sure it’s fake news. Don’t let storms control your life. Don’t fear storms. Go outside and be free!

Growing up in Oklahoma, my father would go outside at the first warning of tornados. You could see them long before they got to you. Here in Alabama, with all of the mountains, hills, and trees, you only ever see them right before they smack you in the head with a debris ball.

Same here. They do come out of nowhere. Watch out for Derejos too!

I hope all goes well for you, cosmic, and for your family, and for your animals. I've been keeping a wary eye out in case this veers our way,hoping we're too far north in N.C. Weather is notoriously tricky, and the worst seems unannounced. For everyone in the track of this system, stay alert and stay safe.

 

[verporchting]

You know it’s windy when the storm cap for your pipe is the cellar and the house above it, lol.

Happy puffing and stay safe.

They’re now saying ninth level of softball sized Hell!!!

We're in the red zone for this weather, but I'm hoping it fizzles. After all this, be damned if I want to be blown away. Here it will be afternoon of tomorrow, Thursday.

we had some storms here in southern Illinois this morning with more coming this afternoon but nothing like what cosmic is gonna get

 

[anotherbob]

Cosmic I suggest you stay off the forum for a couple of weeks let people worry and then come back and don't mention the storm at all.
