Grainy video of a tornado about four miles away from my Dad last night. Buildings leveled, roofs blown off. Main road (Route 30) shut down due to poles over highway and down wires. Dad lost power for about one hour, luckily his power is fed from opposite direction. This was bad.

 

wow,thats scary! there were one or two here but none close to us last evening.

 

Hope y’all okay.
Thought about ya yesterday when we went and looked at an old ass house with 2 prong receptacles which I passed on

 

LOL Bet I can get all the side work I can handle starting today! Too bad my knee won't let me.

 

We are surrounded by mountains, this type of storm has been rare for this area. Strange thing, the emergency warning on cell and tv did not appear until roughly an hour after storm went through. Headed up to Dad's even though he says everything ok. https://local21news.com/news/local/widespread-damage-in-franklin-county-after-severe-weather

 

Good morning.

 

Morning all ,

Don't like,,,that's one thing I don't like and fear. Because of the time of day when they generally happen I'm at work. I think I can do more at home than sitting in a shelter at work.

 

Sounds like a rough night. Glad you’re ok

 

I agree. Years ago when I worked the second shift and we would get a warning the shelter would fill with people and cigarette smoke. I would refuse to enter instead go play storm watcher I knew my wife knew what to do and was reasonably safe.
At the hospital if we get a warning we are responsible for closing all the storm doors and shutters.

 

Stay safe out there.

 

Good morning everyone!!

Have a great day and be safe out there.

 

Hope your feeling better soon Dan. Beautiful Wisconsin day should help some.

 

Tornado warnings turn me into a big chickenshit baby.
On a side note, my wife hardly raises an eyebrow.
Short story.
We have no basement. One time during a tornado warning we quickly drove to a friend's house with a basement. On the way there she asks, "can we stop at Sonic"? There was cussing involved on my part.

 

Hey Chuck

 

Good mornin', all!

My view on the way in to work today...

 

Oh gee.................
Wear rubber gloves.

Or better.
Have someone else do it..
