Great post there ButThreeLeftsDo,
Interesting reading how things are going out there from everyone.
Stay safe everyone and may GOD bless.
East Texas, Lufkin area -
Spotty rain here and there, so far just a sprinkle or two, windy and pretty decent ab out 70º at 11AM, expecting it to be down to around 50º this evening or tomorrow. Winds around 20 30 mph all morning. I was out by the lake at 8AM, looks pretty good but windy. Expecting rain later today.
A sprinkle or two yesterday, windy.
We’ve had 1.5” rain the past few days, yesterday and today probably not enough to measure. Looking at the radar this morning it looks like we’ll miss most of it. Fie with me, I’ve seen 2 tornadoes on this neighborhood years ago, one that picked up a car in the front yard and moved it 10 feet, yanked up a tree over 2 feet in diameter, 28 trees down in neighbor’s yard and one on top of her house, 2nd one destroyed a storage building business, nothing left but twisted metal scattered across a field. I was close enough to hear it, driving home, and couldn’t see the thing. Next day I found out I was within 50 feet when I was hearing it...
I’ve seen enough tornadoes, been way too close to about 5, I can live without them...
Oh, for those of you who don’t know, it sounds like a train coming through the room with you. Hear it once and you never forget that sound. And if you can hear it, you’re WAY TOO CLOSE...I’ve heard it 5 times...not fun. I’ve been very fortunate, the worst that happened was the tree yanked up by the roots in the front yard. It woke me up, I watched it out the kitchen window and didn’t realize what I was hearing yet...tree had already fallen, I think that’s what woke me up, limbs hitting the roof.
