Midwest Storms

Da Klugs · 10-26-2010, 12:49 PM

Here in about an hour. WInd comes and goes for now.

I've been utterly unimpressed so far...a little bit of rain and that's it. Haven't heard a clap of thunder and the wind is minimal. The radar I'm looking at says I'm in the middle of it now.

Wow! Doesnt look like a good day for a run to get mall chicken! Stay safe Dave.

Good day for recharging water beads in the COII's though.

replicant_argent · 10-26-2010, 12:57 PM

good luck, stay out of the unpleasant stuff.

That's one large tornado watch!

All the area in yellow is in the watch.

Alright, West Virginia--do your job and keep that stuff away from us!

Commander Quan · 10-26-2010, 01:06 PM

It's been windy here all afternoon, something is getting blown around up on the roof.

Trailer park magnetism theory?

I can see the front edge of the storm to the west now...

Our daycare has all of the kids in the bathrooms......wife's work has them in stairwell. We just got an email that said if anything is spotted they will sound the alarms.....I guess that means if they are standing by a window and a car goes flying by they will tell us.....

Da Klugs · 10-26-2010, 01:27 PM

Strong wind and rain for about 10 minutes. Dying dow now.

Little more less nasty ness coming in 10-15 minutes but all in all it pretty much was a non-event here at the office. Hope no trees came down at home.

elderboy02 · 10-26-2010, 01:06 PM

I was un-impressed. I was hoping the power would go out at work.

Not me, that would make my day MUCH longer. I really hope we don't lose power at home. So far so good.

alwayslit · 10-26-2010, 01:09 PM

Hell of a front. Hope all will be alright.

gvarsity · 10-29-2010, 01:46 PM

Heard this weird "I'll huff and I'll puff" rhyme and went out back and something my fence had been blown down. Seriously though this windstorm did blow down my privacy fence.

icehog3 · 10-26-2010, 01:37 PM

No huge problems here.

We don't get solid wall fronts that you can see coming, like this one.

chippewastud79 · 10-26-2010, 01:46 PM

Wind and a lot of rain, lasted about 30 minutes. The worst part was the Tornado Siren going off every 30 minutes leading up to it.

forgop · 10-26-2010, 01:57 PM

I got ushered into the IUPUI library basement for about 30 minutes. Not a whole lot of fun.

HK3- · 10-26-2010, 02:00 PM

It's been windy as shite down here in SE Tennesse today. I ran outside at lunch to take the canopy off the pergola before it was torn down. Was thinking about riding my bike after work... may have to go sailing instead.

Edit- wife just called and said they are seeking shelter at work. Really dark outside... time to get the dogs and bunker down.
