Heatherwith4 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 There is some seriously nasty weather heading our way this evening. We have a tornado watch until midnight. Anybody else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Tornado watch until midnight here too. Expect it to start around 8 or 9. It's already windy. I HATE this kind of weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Oh yes! Big huge rain on us and and enormous system that looks like an overland hurricane heading towards us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't get too freaked out about weather normally but it's been sunny here all day, which is not a good sign. I just checked the radar, and it looks nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaLisa Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 You made me look. :) We're getting rain, ,but it doesn't look particularly bad. You guys west of us always have more tornado activity than we get here on the East coast of Florida. Stay safe! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachskittles Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Tornado watch in the area my SO is working at until 7pm. I'm crossing fingers and toes that nothing comes of it. Two more hours to go.... And after I type that, I went back to check. Apparently they just dropped the tornado watch, but severe thunderstorms all night...

Beth S Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thankfully our Tornado Watch came and went about an hour ago, uneventfully. Hope it's not as bad as predicted for you all, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMommy Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Not in the south really, but we narrowly missed a tornado this afternoon (hit the town to our east, and not very far from us), and we still have a watch until later tonight.

Heatherwith4 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 We just got out of the closet. I am fairly sure a small tornado came through. We had a funny moment when DS7 tore one of the hooks off the closet wall. He was helping me clear out the closet and he was so excited that he ripped down the broom with its hook. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Tornado watch here until midnight. We were doing math when the tornado warning sirens went off, but there was nothing in the immediate area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseball mom Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Heather glad y'all are safe. We have had some bad wind and rain today and are under a tornado watch until some time tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 It is supposed to hit here sometime tomorrow morning, and the tornado watch boxes are inching this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few rumbles of thunder, then the rain came but nothing severe by us. Glad you are all okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn- Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Looks like I need to put the ironing board away. It is currently taking up most of our safe zone hallway. We get to be part in the lovely overnight threats. I can handle it during the day but really hate pulling sleeping children out of bed.

UncleEJ Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 It passed over me early this morning (NE Texas). It was uneventful here. Hoping it stays that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Closet from about 5:30-6:30.......... tornado reportedly touched down about 7 miles from here. Lots of electricity out but not here. More storms later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmiraGulch Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 It's supposed to get ugly here over night/early morning, but I don't get too worked up over it. I will be taking DD11 to school in the morning, because I'm not sending her to the bus stop in thunderstorms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlmiraGulch Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 You are fast. you beat me. I think you should tell her the top will be off. If I leave the top down and drive REALLY fast, maybe all the rain will just fly over me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zillymom Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Tornado watch until 3:00 a.m. here (Florida panhandle). Stay safe everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Big rain. Looks quite a bit like the system we had in May 2010 that caused so much trouble. Hope not. We have too much to do for my dh to be out of pocket for 10 days like last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have too much to do for my dh to be out of pocket for 10 days like last time. We had some pretty bad wind just up the road. I heard a tornado touched down but that isn't confirmed. We were up on the big road that begins with a W in my city. It got very dark suddenly and very windy. We stayed in a restaurant much longer than planned as the very heavy rain was going in all directions for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelwydd Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That storm system was pretty mild by comparison to many previous storms in the DFW metroplex. I enjoyed the rain. It's been a very quiet, but dry year for storms around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Ugh. No fun getting up at 5am to the sound of tornado sirens going off. I am not an early-morning person. One strong storm cell came right over us but no damage. Expect possibly wild weather here again in the early afternoon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmiraGulch Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I woke up to see notifications on my phone that there'd been a tornado warning an hour earlier, but my phone didn't sound. Thanks a lot, weather alert app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I didn't notice whether we did or not. I did notice it was POURING and thundering like mad. This morning all the lawns are washed out and there are trees down all over the place, and power lines in some places too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 We had some nasty weather, but it brought in the cool - thank goodness!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Apparently the first round of storms we got stabilized things so that the main line wasn't too serious. All we got from the main line was a ton of rain and thunder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were up on the big road that begins with a W in my city. It got very dark suddenly and very windy. We stayed in a restaurant much longer than planned as the very heavy rain was going in all directions for quite a while. We just had buckets and buckets of rain. Not really any wind. However, I've learned that the wind is always worse up where you are than down where I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
