OT- Nasty Weather
Just got my cable and internet back up from the big thunder
boomer's we've been having in Ohio. The town is basically flooded but the water is going down a bit now. We lost electric for a good while, thank goodness for the generator. People lost a bunch of boats to the flood at the rocky river marina's. What a mess. Anyone else get the monsoon? |

That's it, there never seems to be a happy medium. This May will go down as the most rain for Medina, we've had about 6 inches since weds night on top of saturated ground. |

. com... Boy, glad I don't live in natural disaster country anymore. I'd still take an earthquake once every hundred years, good thing I don't live in earthquake country either. Landshark I don't live in natural disaster country either, but last night we had our first tornado warning in my memory. I haven't seen a storm like that in a *looooong* time. The whole sky was lit up almost continuously with lightning and there was a torrential downpour. A lot of folks lost power; it wasn't pretty. I shut down the pc and pulled the phone line from the dsl modem. Lost the satellite TV a few times as well (and there is a new 3 head dish up there with signal strengths 50% higher than when the system was first installed, but still lost the signal). It is overcast now and hasn't rained in over 12 hours. Still quite a bit of standing water in the street. Best regards from Rochester, NY Jim --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hmmm ... tornado warnings?

I was wondering about that Steve, Knox county isn't that far from you, they had several hundred trees get blown over, every county around me right now is under folod warnings. grrrrrr make that flood warnings, this is what happens when you try typing first thing in the morning w/o having any coffee first. I got ya Keith, this pattern just won't let up. They are calling for more rain this coming week too. Got more of this crap coming through today looks like most of it will miss us here. but that cah change, the heat and humidity combined with unstable air mass makes ripe conditions for pop-us, and thats what damn near wiped Xenia off the map. Oh man..what a mess that was. Erie and Huron counties are under a tornado watch right now... We had a confirmed touchdown at 108 and the Henry/Putnam Co line this afternoon at 6 PM, and we have another cell hitting us now, and a third right on it's tail. He have 2 towns with downed trees and power lines at the moment. Did ya see Cleveland on the news? many people lost boats yesterday. Glad mine is at Lake St. Mary's, I almost brought it up to Port Clinton, I have a 28 ft Cabin Cruiser. |

Well, we never get Tornado warnings, a matter of fact, since I moved out here the only warning we get are for rivers rising to flood stage. We do get winter storm warnings for the Sierra, but that's about the only warnings we get. The whole sky was lit up almost continuously with lightning and there was a torrential downpour. I love to watch lighting. I can imagine the down pour, been back east when it rains cats & dogs. A lot of folks lost power; it wasn't pretty. I shut down the pc and pulled the phone line from the dsl modem. Good call. Lost the satellite TV a few times as well (and there is a new 3 head dish up there with signal strengths 50% higher than when the system was first installed, but still lost the signal). Now that would suck if your watching the finals or a race ;) It is overcast now and hasn't rained in over 12 hours. Still quite a bit of standing water in the street.

May has absolutely sucked for boating, now your boat has washed away and like you said, the insurance adjuster wants to stick you without kissing you first. Welcome to the Great Lakes. |

We lost electric for a good while, thank goodness for the generator. People lost a bunch of boats to the flood at the rocky river marina's. What a mess. Anyone else get the monsoon? Sorry to hear about that, the weather here is lovely right now. We often suffer strong winds and snow here in the winter, and it is recommended that people carry a shovel in their car just in case they get trapped. There are lovely views in this weather, but I hate the winters. We often lose the electricity in winter, but the area has also been known to lose it's water supply also. One thing you need to remember if you live here in the winter... don't eat the yellow snow. The kids love it (the weather, not yellow snow). Because so many teachers come from the nearest city, it doesn't take much for the snow to shut the schools. Regards. Peter. |
