Title: frickin storms Post by: birdymaker on June 10, 2008, 02:00:47 PM power has been in and out along with the cable for the past 3 days. at least i have power there is 200,000 in my area that don't. ours was out for the first 24 hours solid. :candle:we went for a drive yesterday i should have taken the camera. there were streets we drove down where every house had full growth trees blown over on top of the houses and cars. my subdivision was pretty much unscathed. the next one over looks like an atomic bomb went off. no tornado's just straight line winds up to 80 mph. sunday afternoon it was sunny when i started grillin and within 10 mins. it was Armageddon. [sm_shock]
i've got a total of about 15 mins of internet and TV today. :'( Title: Re: frickin storms Post by: Walfredo on June 10, 2008, 02:03:36 PM tell me about it
We lost power the night before last too. Probably got 4" overnight, with some serious straight line winds over 60 mph. It has been a bi-weekly occurance around here lately.

Title: Re: frickin storms Post by: Clive on June 10, 2008, 05:31:44 PM We've been in the very high 90s for several days now. Raleigh (north of us) has gone over 100 2-3 days in a row now.
Probably a big thunderstorm coming our way, though, judging by the radar and pressure ... [sm_hide] Title: Re: frickin storms Post by: gleek on June 10, 2008, 06:04:07 PM It's been sunny with mild, spring-like temperatures for the past week or more. We could use some rain or clouds to break up the monotony.

All the bridges over the river are closed. My dad says they are seeing the worst flooding in a very long time. We still have relatives that live up there. The river is not expected to crest until Friday. The Mississippi is also expected to rise quite a bit over the next 10 days or so.
Title: Re: frickin storms Post by: Gamma Pi on June 11, 2008, 07:37:57 PM Very bad deal for Pigfart. Floods are expected to eclipse the '93 records. [sm_shock] GP Jr. is living in DM and the rivers in downtown are flowing OVER some of the bridges.
And, this from the StL. Post Dispell: Quote The Army Corps of Engineers announced the closure of several locks beginning Thursday at Illinois City, Ill., and southward to Winfield, Mo., by Tuesday. Spokesman Ron Fournier said the locks could be closed for two weeks depending on flood conditions. That's about 250 miles! Yikes!Golly... just what we need. Another contributor to higher costs of food and fuel. [sm_devil] Title: Re: frickin storms Post by: dystopia on June 11, 2008, 09:47:26 PM crazy weather this year.
