BTTT!
Got that right..
People in the affected area need to have a TV and/or radio on tuned to a station that actually broadcasts severe weather warnings.
Best yet is a NOAA Weather Radio.
Stay safe, I have to step out for an hour....
Severe weather has been breaking news before.
Maybe it has to be called a LIVE thread now a days.
Get enough Freepers in the area posting and hitting the mods and perhaps it will be put in its right full catagory.
Be Safe.
The current situation is complete BS...
Thanks, that’s what I thought too.
Could be. I guess if I don’t know where it is it can’t be too near my house.
At the 700 Club? j/k
What’s Bush doing with God’s land in Israel?
Silicon Valley.
I have a cousin who was a mile from the epicenter of the Northridge ‘quake.
He slept through it.
In the top bunk...
2inch Hail that’s gotta be big enough to dent the rig and noggin’.
I didn't get this body slacking off at the table!
Are you near Ft Payne ????
That is a heavy sleeper!
Lucky he didn’t get thrown from his bunk.
WOW Was your cousin OK ????
I lit some candles earlier just in case the lights went out so I’m just staying warm and dry and listening to Levin online with the radio turned to a local news station in the next room...
:)
They had a little water sloshed out of their pool, no structural damage.
By the luck of the draw they were in a ‘node’, an area where the vibrations echoing through the valley canceled each other out. They could easily walk to areas of heavy damage.
All in all they had a far better experience than my best friend. She got to work on most of the victims, as a mortician...
I’m right in the middle of all this and it evidently went over my head, as of a few minutes ago.
Praise the Lord we are fine. I haven’t heard from our friends southeast of us though.
There isn’t a Virginia panhandle, but there is one in western Maryland, sort of.
