We have been placed under a tornado watch tonight, and a tornado warning has been issued for a cell 3 counties west of here, actually not far from where gtb's children live. I am keeping an eye on things. It's the junk ahead of the big bow echo that make me nervous.

Oh, in true Dew-fashion, I watched the strong bow echo dissipate as it approached my neck of the woods. Anyone interested in the Dewdrop-Storm-Deterrent-System just let me know... there's got to be a way for this to benefit me...
It's over...

ReplyDeleteIs it bad to say I'm excited for you? Only if you're safe, tho.
ReplyDeleteWeather excites the heck out of me! But do be well!
WeatherGAL.com has a really fun take on this!
ReplyDeleteAll's well...
ReplyDeleteDang, sorry to hear about the two fatalities. I was unaware of the event until I read your blog.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like some pretty cold weather ahead for you....while here in the TX PH, we bask in chamber of commerce weather for the past several weeks. :-)
Pretty awful, huh? We're just so dense here. Action almost always has an impact.
ReplyDeleteAs for the cold... you're not kidding! BRRRRR!!!!!
