Maedhros Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 13 hours ago, Parakeet Jones said: We had a tornado touch down a mile from our home this evening. Thankfully we have no damage. I was one of those idiots who stands out in the driveway trying to see it. The most dangerous storm I faced though as Mrs. Keet yelling at me over the phone from the basement to get inside. I would be that idiot, too. It's on my bucket list to see a tornado in person. Preferably far from my house though, or anyone's really. I don't wish that devastation on anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a cyclone in China as well. Total Lt. Dan moments ! "This all you got"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter lives in Midtown Manhattan and I can confirm she definitely felt it! Said her entire building was shaking violently. Thankfully she was working from home today so didn’t have to deal with subway or trying to get home. Her office building, in the finance district, was evacuated. I told her to watch out for any water issues and stuff because the infrastructure of a lot of NYC is awful, and it wouldn’t surprise me if a couple old pipes shifted. Otherwise she’s good! Just glad she wasn’t on a subway when it happened!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) Glad she’s alright B) I hope she’s able to defend her home against all the giant mutant rats that were awoken and released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 (edited) This tornado went pretty much right over my house before touching down less than a half mile further down the road. Not hearing about any significant damage. https://www.wlky.com/article/tornado-sellersburg-indiana-video-tuesday/60724919 Edit. Not my video if you are wondering.

Sounds like we are in for round two tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maedhros Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Anyone catch the light show last night? Seeing an Aurora is on my bucket list. Didn't think it would make it this far south, but then I saw pictures from St Louis and South Carolina. I'm going out tonight to see what's still there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it in all of its glory when I was stationed in Greenland in 87-88. I was moonlighting driving a taxi (Volkswagen Vanawagon) for the NCO Club and had it full of Danes and Greenlandics with their alcohol low level lights flickering...saw it as I passed the end of the runway, stopped the cab, and got out to take it in...didn't make my fares very happy...they'd seen it hundreds of times...but shuttling them to a place where they could get antifreeze in -20 degree weather, they still tipped well 🙂 Edited May 11 by IUFLA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I didn't even know it was a possibility. Friend got some beautiful pictures from Lake Monroe. I'm keeping the eyes open tonight for sure. If understand the timeline it starts around 10 I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Saw this tweet after my post, making it a no brainer. I'm driving north up 31 tonight, to get away from city lights and see what I can see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
