Whatever

Your mother taught you better manners.

 

Update on my buddy's place, not worth a fuck. Spent the afternoon doing the best we can.





This was his garage


We got a tarp on his house






Neighbors had to dig them out of their storm shelter, you can see it just to the right of his daughter's Bronco

 

Damn! Not good

 

No. Not at all.

 

Was anyone hurt?




You're a good friend. ❤️

 

Yikes! One tornado just to south of us maybe 20-25 minutes. Its headed east

 

None of them were hurt. Supposedly 2 people died from this tornado and several are missing.

 

They said KY was gonna get hit pretty good tonight.
Be safe

 

Happy Birthday @SACTOWN !!

 

Those poor people...

Their home gets wrecked with no warning.



The randomness of it...

 

New Poll

Have you seen a tornado in real life?
Been affected by one?
Please share any details.

 

I yanked mine off of the nightstand while I slept last night . When I use it regularly I don’t wake up exhausted, but I hate the friggin thing nonetheless

 

First!



Our tornadoes have not been big, but there's a hill just up the street from me where you can see across the county. One of tornadoes that came through years ago, I saw from that hill when it was miles off. However, the first one that I ever remember coming through did so about a mile from our house. The sky was green. It was frickin scary and my best friend who lived in it's path, their place got trashed. A little later, one came through along the top of the mountain when I worked at the park up there. You could see the path it cut from the through the forest by all the trees down. That damage can still be seen today after 20+ years.

 

We don't get many for real tornadoes here in PA.

I recall one in the news, circa 1990.
Actually, a series of them, along the south shore of Lake Erie, including a couple F-5s
That's west of the mountains though.

About 20 years ago one touched down near me, just outside the village of Mont Alto.
It was at night during a tremendous thunderstorm.
Thankfully, it was in open fields and slammed into the mountain.
No damage to homes, no one hurt.

That Autumn I went Grouse hunting east of the area.
I found the track of the tornado where it went up the mountainside.
That was an eye opener.
Boulders, mature trees ripped up and flung around like some giant's toys.

 

I was only down for about hour thirty. Only had another 30/ 40. minutes of work to do . Got someone to mop up. When home to make calls . Heading up today

 

Win win

 

I guess it pays to wear short shorts

 

I got this butter stick ornament to remind me of my mom two years ago. Now it means more to me than ever.
She cooked a ham dinner. Carrots, beans ( with butter in the pans of course )and of course taters had butter. She sent me home with compartment container with butter on top of each thing. Out friggin standing.
