Texted her, she dodged another bullet.
Holy crap.
Thanks for letting us know she's okay.
Glad she's alright.
I complain about the hot summers down here but at least we don't deal with the tribulations of the Midwest.
Holy shit! I'm glad it missed her!
Damn, glad she's OK.

We're good so far. That's really all I can say because the storms are coming in waves right now. We've had some really bad wind, tree in the backyard is now on top of a car in the parking lot next door.
Thanks y'all!

Brandish your hooks at the tornado. It will likely shit itself and retreat. The shitting may take the form in some other person's roof, however, so be careful.
All good here, some roofs messed up and trees torn up but nothing like Joplin.
Khara glad you're OK. If St. Louis gets hit my husband will be activated because his unit is based there.

A friend of mine just moved from Alaska to St. Louis and was bitching about the lack of tornadoes. He was telling me tornado season was over and he missed all the excitement. I will now find him, tell him "I told you so", and bitch slap him.

We're all ok. Hoping to get power back by tomorrow morning at the latest they said.
We're hoping to be done for the night, if not the week but it's the midwest, so no promises. The storm yesterday came out of nowhere and just exploded.
Makes a girl miss a slow hurricane let me tell ya!!

Hallways? Duck and cover along hallways where there are no windows.
Or bathrooms, maybe?
I'm working from home, we have an interior hallway with no windows that we use when we need to take shelter, but usually if we have enough warning we just leave. I've saw three tornadoes in the last 15 years that were coming in as we were leaving town after getting the warning, we've been lucky.
This shit almost makes me feel better knowing that anything bigger than a direct hit by a category 3 is going to throw 25 feet of water into downtown Providence.

The deadliest difference is the warning time. Sometimes those fuckers just drop right on your head without any warning at all. Joplin thought they had 20 minutes, instead they had 5 minutes.

Troof. I think that's what scares me most about tornadoes. I've been through my fair share of really horrific weather between hurricanes and tornadoes, but I will NEVER FORGET that F1 ripping up my elementary school, and those are jokes compared to what you guys get in the Midwest. I've seen a F4 at 3 mile range and nearly pissed my pants.

Exactly, I was watching one for 15 minutes before the sirens even went off. It was on the ground, ate an old brick school building.

Absolutely! Leaving town when a tornado happens can work, but its always a gamble. When the conditions are right, one can pop up anywhere... including the middle of the road.
I used to watch funnel clouds all the time in Florida, because they don't always touch down there...I was sitting right under one once, thinking, "If that thing comes down...I'm dead, and I can't get anywhere fast enough."
One time I was walking home from the grocery store when I was still in college, and I was on the phone with my dad. I look up because it was getting really windy, and I had 3 funnels and a waterspout about to make landfall within clear sight. I said, "BRB HUNKERING DOWN" and ran for the nearest overpass. Nothing touched down, but I was scared shitless. That stuff is pretty standard for Tampa Bay in June, but again, not anywhere NEAR Midwest caliber whirlwinds.

One night in Ellis we pulled into a convienence store, suddenly the car lifted and went sideways a couple of feet, we all hauled ass inside the store to wait it out. When we went outside later most of the canopy over the gas pumps was missing.

Remember this one?
I owned a construction company in Kansas. It was after a major hail storm and all of us contractors were busy replacing roofs. A tornado had come very close to town and the wind and hail had ruined every roof in town.
I got to the point where I hated roofing. It was all we did for almost 2 months. This story is about an easy roofing job. A nice easy pitch and not many cuts at all.
I always watched the skies when we were working because it was, after all, Kansas. This particular day it was over 100 degrees. It was a very hot summer.
I saw one little cloud in an otherwise clear blue sky. It was tiny! I ignored it and we kept working. All of a sudden I looked up and screamed at the crew to get off of the roof. I turned around to shoot one more nail in a roof vent.
As I turned to get off of the roof I was knocked flat on the roof by wind. I was trying to catch my breath when God showed up. I couldn't get up because of the wind and then it started raining. I don't mean rain. It was horrendous. I couldn't see, I finally had to get up or I would have drowned.
As I sat up with the wind screaming at an incredible pitch, the rain was torrential. I couldn't see over 10 feet and I was getting beat badly by the impact of the rain drops. Then I noticed some roofing paper coming loose by the edge of the roof.
I managed to crawl to the edge dragging my nail gun and was shooting it back down.
I was loosing. Suddenly Mark, one of the crew actually came back up on the roof and started helping me. We were sitting 6 feet apart and couldn't hear each other scream at each other.
Then as soon as it started it stopped. The silence was incredible. Mark and I were sitting there dazed. All of our senses were shut down from what we had just gone through.
Eventually we could see and hear again. As we sat on the roof we could see large trees down in the middle of the street. The ringing in our ears gradually subsided and we just looked at each other as we sat there realizing what we had just been through.
Mark and I had been on a roof working as a tornado had come through. Then we got the giggles. We were soaked beyond repair. The rest of the crew came out of the garage where they had hole up while it had been going on. They were wide eyed while looking at us and all we could do was laugh because we were still alive.
Then the home owner, a very kind and quiet spoken elderly lady came out of the house screaming at Mark and I for not hiding. I tried to explain that there was no way I could have gotten off of the roof but she wasn't having it.
She brought us towels and we dried off as well as we could. Then the wobbly knees started and we just had to sit down. I called it a day and we went to the bar.

Glad it missed your stuff, Khara.
There's an old oak, one of the tallest trees in town, standing next to my parents house. It's slowly dying, and my parents hope that when it eventually goes in a windstorm it falls on their neighbor's house and not theirs.
Glad the tree (mostly) missed your stuff Khara. Looks like theres a fence to be repairing.
Fence to repair, a couple of basement windows to replace. Thank goodness for insurance.
One tornado already in Oklahoma. Oklahoma and most of Kansas are under at least tornado watches.
We are expecting bad weather tonight. Kara, Luna, keep your asses down, looks like it's headed your way at about 50 mph.

Stormpulse isn't saying much, and Weather Underground gets most of their information from NOAA. The Weather Channel just wants to make a reality series out of everything.
"The noise...oh lawd...the noise!"
Ok, it's a fun site, but you have to be slightly skeptical about the predictions from an organization devoted to reporting about atmospheric hazards.
The Weather Channel or NOAA? :lulz:

I was thinking less "Weather.com" and more "NOAA's All-Hazard Monitor".

When it snowed, we didn't get the tentative 2-3 inches at a time, with the occasional daring 6 inches that farts around up here, we got FEET at a time, the skies opened up and just took a big, white dump. When we got tornadoes, no warnings, no fucking around, WHAM, town gone.
The sun is out here now.

Lol New England. Should we start taking bets?

Gimme the long shot. Put my nickel down on "beautiful weather all weekend, wherever we are."
A nickel. :lulz:
No one ever puts a real wager down on our weather, it's too damn risky.
I say, as is the custom of our people...Saturday and Sunday will be lovely, and Monday, Memorial Day, will be a shit storm. Because it's the law of the lail here in these parts to NEVER HAVE A NICE MEMORIAL OR LABOR DAY.

I'll take the trifecta on Exactly Opposite what the weathermen say.
I think you're winning, because it doesn't look like tornadoes out there.
We're getting a bad storm right now, no tornado warnings yet though.

:cry:
NOOOOOO I don't want anymore......
I got all those storms last night. Thank fuck there were no tornadoes in the Piedmont. Now we've got a high pressure system overhead and it's just beautiful out. Should be good for most of next week too.
Be careful folks. That storm, even though there weren't any tornadoes, had some wicked winds and hail.
Edit: And the NOAA weather website is the only weather source I trust, mostly because I can look at all the maps, radar, and predictions, and figure out the trends for myself. The National maps are especially good for figuring out if there might be rain say, next weekend, because it's a pretty darn good prediction of the positions of barometric presure systems. High pressure generally means fair, nice weather. Low pressure generally means rain and storms. And on the maps, they even label the barometric lines yellow and green so it makes things even easier to tell.

If you are like me, you left PA because of the fucking people. Land? Beautiful. Weather? Awesome and/or terrifying. People? Inbred Republicans or Amish (also inbred).
Once again, meteorology fails in New England.
All clear and sunny here now. Hope it dissipates before it gets to you Khara!

I have nothing negative to say at all about the Amish. We had some near where I grew up. Kept to themselves, minded their own business. When the tornadoes hit and wiped out pretty much every fucking building for miles (the only building left standing and structurally intact enough to be used was the church, go figure), the Amish bussed in their out of state members, they put up their barns and houses (in that order), then turned around and said, "what do you need?" If you needed to borrow a tool, if they didn't need it, you were welcome to it. If you needed an extra few strong backs to get walls up, you had 'em.

Yeah, say what you will about the Amish, but they actually /live/ the golden rule. It's the rest you have to watch out for.

Yeah, I grew up around them, too. They owned farms on either side of my uncle's property. I don't really have good or bad to say about them. They didn't get on with my uncle very well so they pretty much stayed away from my family. 'cept we used to collect the horse shoes their horses left on the side of the road and take 'em back. And we'd see their kids out picking blue berries - but they always ran home when they saw us.
