Stormy Thursday

Tadhg · Post by **Tadhg** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 4:25 pm

I had a crazy stormy day yesterday. 2 tornadoes touched down nearby, but no damage ~ and plenty of thunderstorms and lightning. They lost power across the street, but we didn't on our side. Lightning took out several trees down the street.

But I had to keep my network offline, due to so much electrical activity. And then when the main 2 storms passed on, the cable went out until this moment. It's weird being offline and no TV for 18 hours. But I did get some seriously reading done.

Anyone else have a interesting weather day?

[And now, I gotta get caught up with all these posts. Mucho reading aheard!]

With the recent weather earlier this week, pretty much most of my part of the state of ohio is under water. The remenants of some tropical storm combined with a canadadian low pressure system to create 4 solid days of raining in ohio over the GenCon weekend. Lots of my neighbors had to clean out their flooded basements.

I thank God so much for sparing my home and basement, especially since I was out of town.

In a few nearby towns from me, they got 9 inches of rain in a matter of a few hours. Nothing in Ohio can survuve that amount of water so fast. God bless those people and thier families.

Omote, you got the rain, all we got was the thunder and then renewed heat wave. They're calling for a break tomorrow but it might involve rain (bringing the darn humidity right back up again). Isn't the Ohio River Valley great

I'm with soulcatcher78 - no rain either. In fact, it will be cooler in Phoenix and Miami today than it will be in Central Illinois!

I had to mow my dead grass yesterday.

My children may have even forgotten what rain looks like.

My prayer for all those suffering from the floods.

I am actually glad to live where i live. Only broke 100 degree's 4 times this year (none last year), Rain can pour around here like in Ohio (where I was born and lived the first 18 years of my life), but no where near the flooding (4 inches visible as far as the eye could see for about 5 hours) Ohio and the river valley can see. No tornadoes. No Earthquakes.

Yeah, I feel for you Ohio Valley folks.

man, send some of that rain our way. We're in a severe drought here in NC. Water rationing (for outdoor use) starts monday.

There go the tomatoes.

It's thundering and it stormed while we were in town. I like the look it looks like fall. All nice and dreary like. Perfect weather for the Grimmster.

In my neck of PA, it rained hard for about 45 minutes, then the humidity jacked up to about 95%. Today was nice and sunny; however, we had 90 degree heat and 90% humidity to go with it.

I wish it would try to rain, or at least get overcast.

East Texas heat and humidity are the suck.

BUT...

It has been a mild summer for us overall. Didn't really get to melt your face off hot & humid until August.

Hopefully it will cool down a bit by October, there's nothing like changing climates when you travel (bleh).

If recent trends keep up. It'll still be hot at Christmas.

Some of us were just discussing last night that they might have to change the actual dates of the seasons. Our "winters" haven't been starting until January and seem to run to April these days.

Gotta vote the Ozarks as 'teh suxxors' for heat and humidity.

My son and I had to make a trip to the hell that is WalMart earlier tonight. Did our shopping and went through the checkout when huge thunderstorm hit. Power went out, sky turned black. We were freakin' stuck in Wally World. Eventually the storm eased up and we ran for the car.

Supposed to get more rain tomorrow. Hope it holds off as tomorrow is my daughter's birthday party and we have plans for activities outdoors.

SoulCatcher78 · Post by **SoulCatcher78** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 1:44 am

Yup, got a party to go to tomorrow evening so I'm in the same boat as Ironbull.

Coleston the Cavalier · Sat Aug 25, 2007 1:48 am

No party, but I do have to go to Walmart. If we don't go every day, we are required to alert the shareholders.

At the risk of having stones thrown at me, it is the Mecca of this century. If we don't go twice a week there's something wrong with the fabric of the universe. I'm pretty sure the spousal unit does it just to torture me though.

I try to avoid major marketplaces. People get in the way. And then I have to hurt someone.

I just re-read this threads title. I think I'll start one tomorrow called "Gloomy Sunday"*

30 points if someone can tell me the urban legend about that title but take off 29 for looking it up on snopes.com
