Got some heavy thunderstorms passing through the area right now. Already saw the lights flicker briefly a couple times, so hopefully the power stays on for the rest of the night.

I hope everything turned out okay, Mu-u-u-ud Brother!

As for my area... well... quite uneventful. Just like the past prior summers, though. Not that the fishy can complain. Well it always sucks to be very humid everyday, but that's summer here for ya. It'll be even worse, when by Sunday or Monday next week it should get up to 90°F during the day. So with the humidity it'll be even more unbearable than it already is.

Speaking of weather... may make a whole separate detailing the details, timeline, events of the Storm of the Century, or the Superstorm of 1993 to be more specific. I'm quite obsessed with that event, so as long as attention span permits... I'd be glad to get a discussion thread going about it. Would be especially interesting, considering the amount of members here that were born before 1993 to have been able to experience it if you live in America, on the eastern side at least.

Hottest day today, so far...
90°F, very humid
Also, right now, almost 10pm still 80°F air temperature outside, so not much relief. Will have more relief later down the week.

We had a big storm today.
And I have encountered first twister in my life. Right in front of me. I was at home. Some windows were torn out in nearest house where twister hit, and a lot of torn trees in its path.

Mo-o-o hope everyone was alright from the tornado, Sneak! :opetrie
Very scary to hear it actually went through your neighborhood, almost near your house too. Based on the damage described, it was a weak tornado, right? But if it went directly through some houses, that would be real ba-a-a-ad.

yes, it was a weak, Though we never ever had such tornadoes in our city. Not I or my parents recall.

Mo-o-o-o see! Glad it wasn't too bad! I've never seen a tornado here before, but one time Mo-o-o did get a Tornado Warning alert on my phone. Supposedly the tornado happened like maybe... 50 or more miles west of us. Closest a tornado had touched down within the region during my lifetime. It was quite stormy and windy that day, regardless.
