    Yea no, it’s bad enough you live in southern Oklahoma. Having said that, You certainly don’t want to have to evacuate once every year or two.

    Crazy wind gusts here in D/FW. Power is out. I thought I was going to blow away.

    Edit: It’s been an hour. Where’s my power? F@ck ONCOR! F@ck e’erybody! Neighbor already running his noisy as f@ck generator.

    Wooo.... that was "fun". I'm glad we escaped hail and tornadoes where I live, or at least I didn't hear any. Also still have electricity. The temps dropped from around 73-79 to 54 degrees. I think winds were clocking in around 70-80 mph. A supermarket down the road from me a couple of miles away had its roof peeled and dropped on the cars parked in front of it.

    I was going to get a new roof this year, but wanted to wait until May or June. No hail, but not sure if that wind lifted some shingles on the 9-10 year-old roof.

    If my roof isn’t leaking, then it don’t need replacing. I’m sure the roofer guy would get up there and mark every little thing with the chalk.

    Get an even noisier generator. Find a way to attach one of those absurd exhausts that some folks put in their Civics.

    My power came back on after 8 hours. Early on after the outage, the power would flicker. I think it did like 30 times in a minute. It fried my Amazon wireless electrical outlet adapter I think. The adapter now blinks red and never connects to the network. I've never seen power blink so many times. I felt like I was in "Close Encounters" when the toys all activated and it was crazy as UFOs were nearby. I probably should have unplugged some stuff when it first started but I got spooked and froze. The TV and sound kept blinking as well with every flicker. It was kind of funny.

    A school district's NOC over here had their power go out yesterday in the 70-80 mph winds, but when the backup generators kicked on, they had some kind of mechanical failure, so the entire school district's NOC was without power. The fix apparently wouldn't be ready for schools to function today, so they just cancelled school for the whole day. lol.

    It was S U B L I M E down here today. The wind was tickling my balls and the sun was smiling at me.

    The West Coast and California in particular have a lot snow right now, which is good for June and July as usually the snow melts slowly enough to maintain good soil moistures through mid-July or later and thus delay the advent of large fires. Usually.

    How the snow melts is just as important as how much there is and right now, it seems like we may get a warm rain in California later this week. A rain on snow event is obviously a trigger for massive flooding. It can melt snow fast such that it doesn't linger and slowly melt throughout the spring. Something to watch as we get close to Friday.

    It rained mud in CenTex. Everything is covered in Lubbock mud that blew down with the rain.

    @Surfguy ... hunker down/duck! Tornado in Ft. Worth.

    *EDIT* : Now they're saying "maybe". lol. Crazy storm wall cloud out there. Some are saying there was a tornado that dropped and others are saying there wasn't. Definitely golf-ball to tennis ball-sized hail in that cell as it came in from the west, though.

    That sound you hear from when the storms are passing through is our home insurance prices going up.

    Today's system that hit the Pacific coast. In my OR town, it's been the second coldest March in recorded history, which honestly, has been refreshing and welcomed. It's looking like I don't have to worry about fires around here until late July or August (Unless, of course, we have another record heat wave that pushes everything into the triple digits.)

    Here in MN we have a thunderstorm yesterday that turned into heavy wet snow. Woke up this morning to about 9” of mixed snow / ice. Beautiful to look at but literally a pain in the @ss to shovel.

    I was just telling someone from Texas who said she wished they could have some of that snow in TX that her and anyone Texan who wants any snow y’all are free to take all of the snow from my yard
