Depends Upon My Mood..
Yeah, a little bit of thunder and the news folks are acting like we should all drink the proverbial poisoned Kool-aid.
Well I appreciate the sirens with the warning..its good for people who are driving and or jogging or biking to be warned to get inside plus you may have animals to bring inside.You just never know..
But I agree..the guys on the news channels are freaks.By the time they are mentioning Plano the storm has passed us.Plus they have people standing out in the rain ...pointing at things like a leaf blowing on a tree and talkign about how its raining outside for hours on end.
Yes Chip..Im standing here on the corner of Main and Coit..and as you can see..it is in fact raining..
Yes I see that Clarice it sure is raining out there..could you tell us if the wind is blowing..
Yes Chip..the wind is blowing too...if you look closely right behind me here..about 10 ft away there is a tree branch in the gutter..it appears that the wind blew the branch off of a tree.
Wow..Also Clarice we have gotten reports that the wind is gusting..have you experinced wind gust where you are ?
Yes Chip..I would say we have experienced gusts..there are leaves blowing all around.Also there has been lightning bolts.
All kidding aside..I would rather be warned as I said..we were abrubtly awakened one night gosh its been about a year now..It sounded like a freight train tearing though the house..we ran in the kitchen ..you could barely see what was going on ..but in one swoop..the whole back section of our fence was flattened.Turns out it was 100mph straight line winds..100mph sustained winds.Not gust.I would not have wanted to have gotten caught outside in that.But again..AFTER it seemed to settle down a little..like the worst had passed..the news man on T.V was warning our area that the storm was about to hit our area.I said..well if its fixing to hit us..then what in the hell was that ..that just blew through here?
Also same with hail.We had a hail storm here about 3 years ago that smashed all the windows in or kitchen out.And caused 3,000 in damage to my husbands car.
Another time we were being warned.We had dinner plans.My husband said he wasnt going to let "a little rain" stop him.Well the resturant acually closed while we were there.And on the way home we got caught in some nasty hail..
Anyway..you know the weather around here.
Love
