Severe Weather ... schools closed today.

Sounds scary. Glad you are all safe!

 

Didn't hear about NY having this issue. My inlaw family peeps are there!
Tornadoes have increased in location and number exponentially the last 3 years. We had a lot in Indiana, a few in Ohio and of course in Texas. But the past 3 years the Carolinas have had quite a few. We had one jump our house 3 years ago and take out trees all around us and straight down the street. But missed our house and the oaks around it. (Thank God). It sounded just like a frieght train coming down the street. Hurricane Hugo ( many moons ago!) we left the Beach and traveled to Monroe NC to get away but a tornado flew over our hotel- with the three of us in the bathtub(for safety)! Lol.

 

Yikes, I’m glad you were able to ride it out, but I hope you town was not damaged to badly.

 

Leah @mommyish has posted some pretty crazy pics on her fb of this storm! She may not even see this as last I saw- she wasn't going to have power for awhile!

Stay safe gals!

 

Yikes! Some crazy weather stories in here! Glad you guys survived it all okay... that sideways rain sounds especially crazy!

 

The weather really has been frightening lately. We seem to have avoided the most serious winds here but I saw the terrible flooding out in Frederick MD and the threat of the derecho in VA. It's a minor complaint but I had hoped to go down to NC this weekend and darn if it isn't rain and thunderstorms all into next week there and here. I hate the idea of driving on the Interstates in that kind of weather.

 

At this point, April was March and blew in, and May is full of showers which was April... so June is for flowers?! I have a concert at PNC this weekend... I'm hoping for a dry spell of like 7 hours for tailgating and the show! I need dry days on 5/19, 6/2, and 6/9. Can we arrange that with Mother Nature please... send her some booze, chocolate and extra meds!? Right?!

 

@cookingmylife and @jenn mccabe have a good weekend & be safe.. Maureen I am in VB and it is raining here every afternoon with heavy down pours and lightning for about an hour or two around 2 each day through Monday I think... are you going to the outer banks? Whatever you do, be safe. I too dislike traveling in rain.

 

While dh is not a meteorologist, he is retired from NOAA and stats say we'll have a lot of severe weather in the years ahead - mostly caused by human behavior.

I'll send my thoughts to Mother Nature for you Jenn. DH asked me to try for a window of sun so he could ride his bike last week. It worked! LOL

eta: @cfile No beach time for me, inland at Cary. Want to catch eldest granddaughter before she leaves for her UK summer Nanny job.

 

oh wow.. I wanna go lol well have a nice time Maureen... I want to go back to London, Scotland and want to go to Southern Ireland in the worst way!! I hope she enjoys her Nanny Job.. hope at the end you can go over to spend a few days and relive the sites I am enjoying all the royal wedding stuff on TV...going to try and make Sticky Toffee Pudding this weekend..my husband has a hankering for it and I found a recipe that looks pretty good

 

Ha... Dierks Bentley.. and in June Imagine Dragons. Woot! My music is all over the place! I really really want to see Zac Brown Band. I ordered 5 ponchos and some rain boots!! They arrive today.

@cookingmylife I agree, we will see lots of worse weather. Karma from Ms. Nature!

 

OMIGOODNESS, YES... come! 6/9 - We are on the lawn, pray for dry/sun! We are going with other families, DH and my kids are going too! I'm SOOOO beyond thrilled, especially since it's practically in my backyard, and my kids can go. (This weekend is just girls!) Oldest is getting into music! Join us! I think we paid about $60 a ticket.... I think they are around $65 now, then add fees. I remember you saying you were going last summer, but I was at the shore that weekend, I think!
