Entry 001: Summer storms and other stuff
For most of the afternoon and evening where I live has been under severe weather watches and/or warnings in one form or another. Mostly, severe thunderstorm warnings and watches, but tornado watches and a few warnings as well.
Where I live, the weather has just started turning towards the nastier side, otherwise just overcast and cool.
We had a severe thunderstorm warning briefly not too long ago, said related storm raced through the area like a Ferrari on the Audobahn and was here and gone in five minutes tops.
But in other areas, heavy rain, strong winds, straight line winds, large hail and rotation with and without associated wall clouds were a huge part of a two-hundred mile length thunderstorm chain. That chain was never near my area though...
There were some reports of tornadoes, funnel clouds and the like, but any damage reports were related to the strong winds, one report which was actually shown on live coverage was of an old tree completely uprooted from the ground, a sad sight indeed. ![]()
Right now, there's some thunder rumbling, birds chirping, perhaps some light drizzle, but nothing severe at the moment.
Yeah, the location I have on my profile is where I am from, not where I live currently.
That's right, I live in Tornado Alley, and though I didn't want to move here...that's for another story, another time.
