This week's severe weather

[Walt]

Anyone else in the south get to close for comfort to some of these tornadoes?

Sounds like you might have a story?

I thought about you and the whole Katrina thing. On the map it looked like you were clear of the twisters. That was some comfort.

We didn't get any tornados, but a lot of rain and straight line winds of 40 to 65 MPH. HJ, that is a telling picture.

No intent to minimize anybody here but we had a freaky late snowstorm/blizzard on April 15 with those kinds of wind and 6-10 inches of heavy wet snow. That builds 5 foot plus snow drifts in a hurry. No mail that day as the trucks bringing it to offices couldn't get through the highways for the accidents and snow and stranded state plows. Took about a week for the snow to all disappear due to continued daily 15-35 mph winds and temps in the 50-70 degree range. Had another strange wind storm a couple nights ago with wind in the 40-60 mph ranges. No precip but definitely windy.
Hope everyone in or near the storm areas hit by the tornadoes finds all their loved ones in good health although I know some will not so prayers for comfort for them will have to suffice.

Roadrunner, you can keep the snow! I've had enough for a long time. NWS is predicting temps in the mid to upper 30's here Tuesday night with a rain/snow mix. I'm hoping they are wrong, the s word brings out the stupidy in people around here when driving. I don't want to see any more snow before I retire, only 53 days to go!
