What’s up With all These Storms?

[Briar Lee]

It’s the middle of March and 85 degrees one day and snow the next, and storms blowing the devil out of the heartland.

11 AM Eastern Time today

A tornado watch is in effect until 4 p.m. ET for portions of eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and most of West Virginia, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

The watch includes Pittsburgh and Erie, Pennsylvania; Charleston, West Virginia; and Akron, Canton and Zanesville, Ohio.

The center warned:

“Scattered damaging winds will likely be the main threat with this activity, with peak gusts perhaps reaching up to 60-70 mph. But, the environment will also support some threat for a few line-embedded tornadoes as well.”

More than 60 million people are under the threat for severe storms Sunday from Pennsylvania to Florida as the larger system shifts eastward. The main threats will be damaging winds, a few tornadoes and hail

When I was a kid I don’t remember storms in March this early, but maybe I forgot.

Yesterday we had storms here in Missouri that killed 11 people and I see they are headed East.

I’m really glad for the warning systems we have today. When I was a kid there wasn’t much chance to prepare.

Cloud Seeding, Chemtrails and Weather Modification. Don’t forget 5G.

If you think it’s made up, you must believe that Full Virginia Flake is worth the price over Buoy Gold.

Man, old folks can really complain.

 

[Sobrbiker]

Pretty sure the mineral deposits in the affected areas have nothing to do with anything.


I’m gonna go put on my foil fez and have a nice smoke…

For millennia mankind sacrificed goats for the harvest and prayed to rain gods. The Universe may be empirical and rational, but man certainly isn't.

Hey, I'm sitting here in Pittsburgh, really wishing I had a goat to sacrifice today!

Say hello to Penn Mac for me!
And stay off the bus.

When I was a boy me and Colonel Lear the Auctioneer would mount up in my Mustang and chase those early spring storms.

But this is the day after the Ides of March!

The storm that left 11 dead yesterday and blew all the tin on my deck around left snow on the ground this morning.

But it spared my plastic chairs.





What saddens me is 60 million of us today might never have been taught what a line embedded storm means.

Me and Colonel were brave boys, but we never went chasing after those kind of storms at all.

Last year we were able to experience first hand this phenomenon, which we always saw on TV far from our country. Thousands of cars and buildings torpedoed by snowballs the size of oranges and lemons.

Yeah, the Bumble Bees are out , the power went off briefly at 7am but thankfully came back on, my tinfoil hat never comes off but I'll refrain from comment on Why

Man, old folks can really complain.

The older I get, the more I complain, and the more cups of coffee I drink and bowls of tobacco I smoke. Coincidence? Who knows!

But do you remember the Bumble Bees in early March, or am I losing my gourd?!!?

Luckily it was just really good thunderstorms here in TN. I was able to make the 2.75 hour drive through one to the Muletown pipe show, get in before the rain, and then drive home after it had blown past while I was in the show.

 

[HeavyLeadBelly]

To me this seems like typical March weather in Wisconsin. Bipolar to the max.

 

[Dave760]

Well, the first line of storms that blew through here were...interesting. Loads of wind, rain, and lightning. The second line was, thankfully, almost nothing.

Now excuse me while I research how to clean goat blood out of carpet.

There has been one public piece of research on tinfoil hats, which showed no protectection but conversely some gain at a few frequencies.

I remain somewhat miffed that no attempt was made to ground the damn thing, that would have been considerably more interesting.

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

This weather sure has been messing up my fishing, I know that much.

 

[Brad H]

In Louisiana, if you don't like the weather, just hang around a week. It will change.

 

[The Benedictine]

I know the culprit.

Massive storm system leaves at least 36 dead and hundreds of thousands without power​

Vast destruction from a massive storm system sweeping across the US is spreading farther east, with reports of violent tornadoes and severe weather that hammered Alabama.

• Tornado watches are in effect until Sunday afternoon across parts of Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The Storm Prediction Center has warned of the threat of tornadoes, damaging wind gusts and hail.

• The sweeping storm system has left at least 36 people dead, including 12 in Missouri. Severe thunderstorms are pushing east Sunday and delivering heavy rain and damaging winds to much of the East Coast.

They upped the death toll in Missouri from 11 to a dozen, three dozen dead so far.

And each soul was an American just like me and my family, and only the day before yesterday never imagined this would be their fate today.

I’m preparing my guitar for attending a simple country funeral tommotow.

They may ask for a few words of consolation in a time of sad breavement.

Or a song about how beautiful heaven must be, for their loved one who has now been resurrected.

All I know about the death angel is he’s very unpredictable, you know?
