Weather

Boring weather here....Ho hum....

But when I was in Missouri we had one night of crazy weather. Loads of thunderstorms and high winds; something I'm not used to. Kept me up all night. Unfortunately, those thunderstorms sparked several tornadoes and 5 people died. 3 in Missouri, and 2 in Arkansas, I believe. Otherwise, I had nothing but sun on vacation, and nothing but sun upon my return to my home state with only sun forecast for the next 10 days.

EDIT 1 week later:

This is interesting to explain the tragic flooding in many areas of the world, and the freezing cold and snow storms in others:

Chamber of Commerce day. Could be 70 with blue skies. On the downside there is lawnmower in the shed with my name on it. Looks like all the plants made it. So did the grass and unusual weeds that find their way into the yard. Both are begging to be harvested.

-27 C (-16,6 F)! I'm freezing when I just think that I need to go out and walk to work.

[EscapeGirl]

Burr!! That's too dang cold!!

We're chilly here, but nothing like that. 44 F (You'd call it summer heat, I think! ) 7 C But we do have RAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!

[Bronwyn]

And last summer we had temperatures over 30 C (86 F), almost 40 C (104 F)!

awww poor Bronwyn

there's another cyclone that's supposed to be forming near us but probably won't hit the land.
i just want the rain. i can't remember what cold feels like

[Purp]

The American South and Midwest are having severe tornadoes. Over 200 people have died in them.

Yes Purp, there were many tornadoes in the south last night and may spread to the eastern seaboard. One particular storm was on the ground for a hundred miles, and it destroyed the city of Tuskaloosa, Alabama. I myself am under a tornado watch for another 32 minutes

[EscapeGirl]

It is so terrible. I really hope to see the members from those hard-hit areas come online when they can. I want to know they're all okay.

@Tipper....By now the tornado watch has passed and I see you're still online. Thank goodness.

[tipper75]

Yes, but that is just the tornadoes, we could still have a strong thunder storm and lose power. So I hope to be here all night

[EscapeGirl]

Haha. I just mentioned thunderstorms elsewhere. But yeah, get out the flashlights and candles just in case!!!

It rained 3 days ago and for the last couple of days it's been really cold!
