🌎 Weather here and around the South?

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I don't really go by these thing anyway. But for me it would be the Oatmeal Cookies.

Not a bad choice.

The question no one ever answers: Why live in N. Dakota? Fargo...almost 70 yesterday, 20 this morning with a 0 wind chill. LOL...

Wearing shorts on a 60 degree morning (guessing) with visibility about 60 yards with the fog...so damn thick this morning TWC is calling it mist. It's not. It's fog.

Here's a wild one for you.

I watch the birds in the morning...blue Jays nesting in boxes I've built, Robin's in one of my Crepe Myrtles, but the Cardinals catch my attention every day. They build a nest inside of my wax myrtle every year. For years...

Fog so thick this morning that the birds just now started moving. No sea gulls in the air this morning. The pigeons are still asleep at the "cow pasture." All I can hear this morning are the crickets...which makes me want to fish for some crappie

Tornadoes NW of tuscaloosa, hope all y'all are safe

I remember when NDSU would come to Florence for the D II football championship games. Those folks would have on short sleeves and shorts in 40-50 degree weather.

Thankfully, all we got was some rain and some lightning/thunder. The wind kicked up a few times, but nothing to be concerned about.

Still, I cleaned out a small utility room and put in a couple stools, some towels (floor is bare concrete), some supplies, and was ready to hop in if things got sporty. Thankfully, we got lucky once again.

But I know that luck will eventually run out.

I remember walking from Rose Towers to Reese Phifer in that mess.

My roommate and I ran to the fridge while watching James Spann announce a “major snow event”. We looked inside and determined we would both die. Neither of us had any cold gear whatsoever, so we jumped in our vehicles and made it to our parents in tiny Warrior, AL. We then proceeded to snowed in for a solid week!

We dodged the “naders” here in Sylacauga. Winterboro HS wasn’t so lucky, just up the road.

My great granddaughter told her grandmother ( our daughter) that the safety place in the trailer was the bathroom tub. She took her blanket and pillow and got into the tub. She isn't a fan of anytype of weather.

Here's a sad reality. I can tell you what I was wearing that day ... I can tell you the backpack I had at the time ... but, for the life of me, I can't remember why I made the walk. I remember stopping in Charmichael to grab a cup of coffee. All I can come up with is it had something to do with the Lexus/Nexus database in Reese.

No sea gulls in the air this morning.

Versus sea gulls right now. That tells me they are having a hard time finding food on the coast: likely weather/gusts.

Yes, a man living beside the school was killed. Live on Bob White Road. Also one was killed in Plantersville. That is the gym.

The Pier 43 gas station (pretty good gas station food, FWIW) and marina, 3 miles form my house. This was the small tornado that zipped though our area and went over the lake. Photos from Tuscaloosa Patch...

I wish No ill will on anyone. But I am thankful the damn things went away from me. I had no such luck in 2007.

I saw that! Man was 83 years old. So sad. Makes you wonder if he had no relatives or if he was too stubborn to leave.

I think at that age he had no family. if he did his family would have force him out!

This is the house at one time from Plantersville. This is the other death from the storm. They found her body thrown 3/4 of a mile down the road.

Here's the final assessment from the storms...

 

[TerryP]

Yesterday afternoon is when that front ran through here. Strong winds, no doubt. It lasted about five minutes.

It was around 2 when it began and CSU cranked up their Civil Defense Warning siren. As soon as I heard it, "what?" It stopped after about 10 seconds and I thought...bet it was a scheduled test and then they realized, "we're in a wind storm!"

Yeah, at 2 today...they tested the system. I'd bet yesterday was scheduled and someone...well.

Some crazy weather in the Mississippi, Ohio, and tennessee valley areas tonight and next few days. Prayers for all in those areas.
