Woo hoo.

After what happened last weekend, I think I'll be up late tonight.

[proud2BlibKansan]

1. What is up with all these tornadoes in November??

This is just too odd.

[beam me up scottie]

3. We've had them here every November.

Since I moved here, anyway.

There was a system that came through this area in November 2002 that spawned quite a few, some of them deadly.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Well here in Kansas, the land of Oz,

we have tornadoes in the SPRING. Never heard of one in November.

[beam me up scottie]

7. We're in a bad spot here.

Cold fronts are always crashing into warm ones this time of year.

[seabeyond]

12. same here in the panhandle of texas, totally declines in fall

though there are still some. but midwest and part of the south have higher numbers in the fall. i hae seen a chart on it. the one the other day somewhere was something. good footage from some guy. just powerful

[beam me up scottie]

13. Was it the same footage

as in post #6?

That guy was an idiot.

[seabeyond]

14. yup that was it. yup the guy was an idiot, lol lol n/t

[beam me up scottie]

15. I stayed outside filming a storm last spring

until my tripod went flying off the porch (luckily my camera wasn't attached to it)

I got the message.

I finished filming from my doorway.

[seabeyond]

17. wow, and i..... go all the way back in my 60 ft basement, to the

closet right up against the earth on two sides. with pillows and a foam mattress over us. go figure. hm..... lol lol

[beam me up scottie]

18. I guess I'm an idiot too, lol!

I'm from Vermont, we don't get storms like these.
I love lightning and I've seen some awesome shots taken by storm chasers.

[oregonindy]

21. I grew up in Northern Ky and Southern Indiana and I just dont remember

tornados in Novemember ever.

All our tornado drills in school were in the springtime.

[beam me up scottie]

23. I'm trying to find the page

on NOAA that showed that this type of weather isn't uncommon in November but I can't - argh.

I knew I should have bookmarked it.

[Behind the Aegis]

27. Is this it?

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/gsp/localdat/Nov11_2002_Severe_2.pdf

[beam me up scottie]

28. No, yours is better.

What a night that was.

Stupid local weatherman was practically peeing his pants every time they would mark off another one on the ground.

Then the power kept going off.

First time I was sorry I didn't drink or smoke anymore.

[Behind the Aegis]

31. Glad it helped.

Thankfully, I still drink and smoke! I am all content! :)

[kestrel91316]

2. I don't care what they say. This is ABNORMAL.

[beam me up scottie]

4. Nah.

Now if I was still living in Vermont and posted that there was a tornado watch, that would be abnormal.

[Occulus]

32. Not really.

You're just having Michigan weather. We've had strong winds for two days in a row just lately, and tonight sleet. In sheets.

It's just a particularly icky fall. I hate weather like this.

This weather is like a bag of cat sick.

[madrchsod]

6. just noticed that on my radar screen

that there`s an intense line sweeping south...look out for this---

that guy was crazy!

[beam me up scottie]

9. Holy shit!

I love trying to capture storm footage but that guy has something wrong with him.

He's lucky it was a little one and short lived, can you imagine if it had been say, an F3 that was 1/2 mile wide?

[Corgigal]

8. do what I do

I got hit by a F2/F3 tornado. I have a yellow weather radio near the bed with an alarm. If the weather is questionable before I go to bed then the radio is on.

Yeah I wake up everytime it beeps to make sure. Make sure your purchase one if you don't have one already.

[beam me up scottie]

10. Thanks, bought one last spring.

Living without one was nerve wrecking.

You'd be watching the radar and they'd be showing all the areas around you where the wind shear indicated tornadoes were forming and then the power would go off.

[beam me up scottie]

11. Here's info on the F2 that hit just north of here a little over a week ago

[WhollyHeretic]

16. Stay safe

and watch out for witches and flying monkeys.

[beam me up scottie]

19. Heh heh.

We probably won't get anything but I'll sleep with one ear on the radio.

[Behind the Aegis]

20. Same here for Oklahoma!

We have already had a brownout. :eyes: I really hate this weather. 80 degrees one day, 42 degrees the next. Remember, there is NO global warning, all this odd weather is just G-d's wacky humor! :eyes:

[beam me up scottie]

22. I'm ready for winter.

Tornadoes are fun and exciting for the first one or two months in the spring, but they get old in a hurry.

[blonndee]

24. Blech, I was just complaining about OK. Can't we at least only have

to worry about SPRING? I can't sleep (or won't) until I know we won't get storms.

[beam me up scottie]

25. I was ready to hit the sack last week

when one touched down one county west of me.

We only had high winds here and I thought it was safe.

I was up until 7am after that.

[Behind the Aegis]

26. I hear ya!

I call it Okla-HELL-ma! No offense to those who love this state, but it is my temporary home until I can get enough cash to flee!

It is thundering and lighting here. The air pressure is changing rapidly (my ears keep popping). I am just hoping it doesn't knock out the power, as I am late night person and I don't want to lose power!

[beam me up scottie]

29. Are you alone?

I hope not.

[Behind the Aegis]

30. Not alone.

My partner is all tucked into bed. The cat is sleeping on the cable box, and all the birds are sleeping. Although, the hamsters are waking up. We have a tornado siren right outside the master bedroom (seriously, it is 20 yards away...so when it sounds it is HEARD!). The rain has stopped and the thunder has slowed, so I think it is passing on by, but in OK, one can never tell!

If we get blown away, I hope I go over the rainbow, because I am spoiling for a fight and the Wicked Witch of the West hasn't met the Wicked Witch of Oklahoma! :evilgrin: (Although not really wicked, I am a witch!)

[beam me up scottie]

33. Over the rainbow!

Lookout Dorothy and Glenda!

The sirens are too far away from me to hear them if the weather is bad.
I doubt we'll get much tonight, but they did just say on the radio that we're going to get round two tomorrow afternoon.

But I'm throwing in the towel, I'll put my trust in NOAA.

G'night!


Hey.

What's a nice jewish boy like you doing in Oklahoma?

[Behind the Aegis]

34. Rainbows and such.

I just want my own army of flying monkeys!!! "FLY MY PRETTIES!!" "BRING ME BACK GEORGE CLOONEY!" (Fuck those nasty red clogs...I am barefooting it!) I have been practicing. I have other names on the list too! :)

Dorothy best be stepping right, or she will go back to the field of poppies and there won't be any snow this time! And, Glenda, well, as long as she gives up that crown, we're cool!

It looks the weather here has calmed. I hope it has in your neck of the woods too.

As for a good Jewish boy being in Oklahoma...well, all I can guess is that in a former life I was one evil prick, so now I am paying the Karmic price! A job brought me here, now I am without a job and can't get out. At least I got a kick-ass partner who is convinced that I hung the moon! Gotta love that!

Hope you sleep well and your night is uneventful!
