TOD:

When I was 8 years old - a terrible storm with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning happened in the middle of the night.

Our parents came rushing upstairs and took all 4 of us to the basement where we stayed until it passed over.

Another storm on Easter Sunday in 1963 or 1964 a tornado came through town but luckily skipped our street.

And then two years ago, another tornado came through town knocked down some old buildings in the downtown area.....they were finally demolished last year after valiant efforts to save them failed.

And that was that.

TOD:

The worst I ever experienced was in Lawrence, Indiana (a suburb of Indianapolis) circa 1981.   

It was summertime.  My parents were to visit, and I had cut my grass in sunny weather.  After I had showered and dressed, I noticed it was getting overcast.  It got darker and darker.   

My parents arrived from South Carolina, and my mom was very scared because the sky looked green.

We had a hellacious storm, and we all huddled in the bathroom.

Once it passed, we watched the news and learned a tornado had passed just a couple of streets over from where I lived.  A lot of damage was done, but we were just fine.

This morning has been hell. I tried to call Dr Glickman, whose office opens at 8:00am, according to Google, then I decided to order cat food from Petsmart. I entered my debit card and placed the order. A popup told me there was a oriblem, try again. I never got an order confirmation, but I now have seven approved charges on my card for $1022 each! The past hour has been calls to Petsmart customer service and the bank. I have no idea if the situation is now cleared up or not.

The moon IS a balloon...

Good morning.

So far there is not a drop in my rain gauge. I probably got about 25 drops on my tshirt while I was walking this morning.

TOD: I was in Hurricane Bob while visiting my sister a long long time ago. We had a microburst here in 2006, which did a lot of damage locally. Then, of course, the microburst in 2021, which took out my saguaro, my acacia tree, and my living room ceiling.

Storms are glorious in their ferocity.

[Jrand74]

I paid $3.579 gasoline this morning.  I bought $30 worth and put about $7.60 in my gas can for the lawn mower and the rest in Petey the PT Cruiser......which brought him up from just above a quarter tank to just below F U L L.

[Jrand74]

Tomorrow I may have to fill up Dennis the Smart Car.....at $4.779 per gallon....I usually just get $25 worth and he's almost full....not sure where he sits now - gauge wise....but I will drive him tonight and find out.

[Jrand74]

And that is the Indiana Gas Repor.

From Bruce:

The news of course does their thing to panic everyone. Endless images of horrible flooding in "Southern California" only what they're showing you is Baja. I have seen nothing like that here or anywhere in the Valley. Some of the streets had a bit of water buildup.

I found it very annoying to open articles that were supposedly up to date info on the storm, mostly to find images of Baja flooding.

Harlequin Productions, the local semi-professional theater company here in Olympia, has announced their new season:

My cousin out in Leona Valley had 6.5 inches of rain as of 8:00pm.  I don't know yet what her final number is yet.  She is probably dealing with a lot of mud today.

TOD:

I was on board the Victory Chimes when Hurricane Ike passed over Maine. We were in a harbor with several other clipper ships and Ringo Starr’s massive yacht. The weather itself was fierce and the boat rocked all night, but it was the wait that was perhaps more terrifying.

In the morning, we sailed to our docked and disembarked in the rain. The trip was over a day before schedule.

Not fun, but at least all turned out well.

I am sorry.

[Jane]

Yup.

[Jane]

They beat out 5 other locations listed on the news for the most amount of rain, lucky them.

[Jane]

Beverly Hills only had 3.14 inches.
