What meteorological phenomenon (phenomena) affects you this day ? - Page 573

Sheeeee-it! At one point a few mins ago, there were approx a half dozen twisters in the air and on the ground south of here near Montgomery. The storm chaser was sending live video from the dash mounted camera in his truck. He panned it 360 degrees, and they were dropping all around him. There was "a debris ball" in the air.

The ones aiming for us are still close to the Mississippi line. The whole thing is breaking up into a bunch of super cells, which means that they start to create their own weather, generate their own heat for fuel, and are traditionally the deadliest storms.

Rollicking! (thanks Astrangerhere)

I kinda like storms, but not like this time when they damage and kill. This storm killed 2people alredy in Oklahoma.

The TV stations are getting great film, because these are striking during daylight.

Well, we're the Low Countries, below sealevel with a sea-climat, so what can one expect?

Dayum! I've got high winds (for here), cold and rainy. But there's not enough heat to fuel any supercells.

Stay safe, DixieGal!

Still chilly and windy.

Damn! Stay Safe. Hope there is no real damage!

DixieGal · 04-15-2011, 02:33 PM

The weather guy just said, "...the biggest super cell of all time. Strongest I've ever seen..." Lots of damage already. Look at the southeast map at the Weather Channel website. It is a monster!

Yikes! I hope you're in your safe place. I believe I'll be staying over at my mom's house tonight...

It took me 18 years to get my house modernized. It better not blow away now!

Its warm enough here for us to see some stronger stuff tomorrow. I'm definitely planning on making a nice stew and charging my Nook for the show.

DixieGal · 04-15-2011, 03:15 PM

The storm chasers are providing some wild live footage. The closer he gets to it, the more midnight the picture becomes. Extensive damage reports where it passed through. This is just the big one, plenty of small storms everywhere. Ohohoh! Wind is 140 mph! That's crazy!

Betty, Astranger, Pooh, y'all be getting ready. Don't wait to check your batteries and stuff.

FlorenceArt · 04-15-2011, 03:16 PM

I think I'll stay with the boring Parisian weather, thank you!

Hope eveverybody out there is safe!

Boring and chilly and not very sunny here today.
