This is a bad time for me to be banned from, SOCN. I have much to say about the implications of wars, famine, and the horrific weather taking place these days. Matthew, chapter 24 is one place you can read about the current events taking place. Please people, don't make inappropriate comments. If your interested, just read the book, don't ruin this thread.

Mara Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) The worst of it passed just north of me. We had a couple of brief thunderstorms and some heavy rain, but that was it. I'm screwed if there's ever a tornado. We do not have a single room in the house that doesn't have at least one exterior wall. Both bathrooms are on exterior walls, and both have skylights. Even the closet under the stairs is on an exterior wall, plus it's so crammed full of Christmas decorations and luggage I'm not sure we could get in there. One good thing: for our storm-anxious dog, we tried a shirt, as I'd read quite a bit about how well that seems to work for some dogs. It's a pressure thing; they are comforted by being "squeezed" a little. So we took one of my old small tees and put it on Simon, and he was GREAT! A little confused at first to be wearing a shirt, but he quickly got used to it and snoozed through the majority of the weather. People to the northwest of me weren't so lucky. A three-story Super 8 hotel in Catoosa County collapsed under the winds, injuring several people. Ringgold, where my parents married, is a disaster.

It can't make you feel very comfortable about the possibility of future tornadoes coming your way. I have it fairly safe in Connecticut. We rarely have catastrophic weather here.

My roomie and I watched that on the news last night until about midnight. It's hot and humid and muggy here (in the 90's). Jazzfest is going to be a bitch tomorrow.

That reminds me of the time I was snowmobiling in an area in Northeastern Wisconsin that had been hit by a tornado earlier in the year. Everywhere I rode, nothing but trees knocked over like toothpicks. For a square mile there wasn't a single tree left standing. It looked like a bomb went off.

Everywhere I rode, nothing but trees knocked over like toothpicks. For a square mile there wasn't a single tree left standing. It looked like a bomb went off. Yes, I've seen the footage on the news. Just terrible devastation. The expert on said that it was the exact conditions that come along every 100 yrs. But when asked if these conditions might now form more regularly due to climate change he said there wasn't enough data to say that. These tornados were big and stayed on the ground a long time. I'll see if I can find it (think it was ABC) but they had incredible video of an entire roof top, big rooftop, being flown around on one these things, I mean, 100s of ft. off the ground like it was a peice of paper. I pray they recover from this quickly. I'm sure they'll pull together and salvage some good things from tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Enemy Without Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Boston 20-100 degrees It could rain, I guess It could also snow if the conditions are right 1-99% chance of thunderstorms 100% chance of being located in Massachusetts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
