Whew! That’s an irritating site what with all those little hearts floating up the screen the whole time.
I didn’t an “x” anywhere to make it full screen.

Yes,the hearts are rather annoying. It's sort of like "atta-boys" that people are really liking what he's doing. But....annoying. LOL!
He posted some pictures on his Twitter, so I assume he's ok. Unless he did it before he did that last video and was going to move to a different location. Here is one of the pictures....
Hope you can view it. I "stole" it from Twitter. LOL! If you right click on the stupid square and hit "view image" it should come up for you. Maybe. I guess Twitter doesn't like to share.

We made it OK. Just some thunder and lightning and that was about it. Yesterday, it was just me and Gizmo out at Wichita Ridge. He did chase some geese. We had fun out there.

Ah well, they don’t last long when they get stuck that way. All the bugs I’ve found in our gauge were goners by the time I found them.

The pic is there in all its glory. LOL
I saw a couple of similar funnels yesterday and got scaps. One is almost identical to the one you posted. It was close to Plainview, TX as I recall, and I was “riding along” with Brad. I see he’s not far from here tonight, getting ready for the “fun” expected in these parts.
Jeff did say he would post pix later in his video so they must be fine and dandy since he did post them.

It was the creepiest sound I’ve heard. Made my skin crawl and hair stand up. Hubby was at the garage and heard it, too, and told me he crawled under one of the cars. LOL! He said he couldn’t believe I just stood there as it passed over.
He isn’t was wild about storms as I am. :-)

I gotta remember to turn on the storm chasers when I get online tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile, I’d better go to sleep or it’ll be tomorrow afternoon when I wake up. LOL! Glad you could see that picture. It was really beautiful. See ya!

Whew! Glad to hear it! There was a line of ugly moving your way when I last saw the radar and I was a bit concerned. Glad it wasn’t bad when it reached you.
So you finally had some time to yourselves and Gizmo got to do some running again. YAY! I don’t reckon the geese were as pleased as he was. LOL

First stop is the radar for me when I wake up, then maybe the chasers for a minute. I want to run to pick up Moogly as soon as possible if it isn’t too wild here at the time.
That pic sure was a beauty. Must have been exhilarating to see it in person.
Sleep well!

Well, you could sure tell HE could get exhilerated. LOL! If you saw comments about a “blue shed”, he did some hurricane reporting and ended up taking shelter in a blue shed. I missed that one. It was before I knew who he was.
I was going to ask about Moogly last night. I hope that sweet kitteh is ok. Hope you got back before the rain hit. Looks like it is raining there now or was recently.

Whoaaaaaaa.....it's pretty chilly this mornin' Early Birds!
Didn't see THAT coming!
It feels kind of good, though.
The kittehs weren't too happy about it.
They've been shedding winter coats. LOL!
Hope it's pretty where you are!
Weather looks pretty angry in the southeast.
Y'all have a Not-Too-Thrilling Thursday!
((((hugs))))

He was pumpedalright. LOL
I didn’t read any of the comments. Was to transfixed on the skies.
Moogly had to stay overnight for IV fluids. Her kidney numbers are high again because she’s missed medicine doses too many times lately. She’d had tummy trouble and wasn’t eating much and sometimes vomited pills up. With luck, the flushing will get things back on track and she can keep all her medicine down. She was doing so well before this happened.
Woke up to a rumble of thunder in the distance. Turned on the TV and we’re in between TWO tornado warnings. One passing just a few miles south of us and the other just a few miles north. That one could hit Manchester, where Moogly is, if it holds together. EEK! They said it was weakening so that’s good. Looking at the radar it looks like they’re both weakening and that’s good.
Poor Brad missed the action by a few miles. He’s between Huntsville and here at the moment. I know exactly where he is because he’s on the highway we take when we go to Huntsville. Obviously he gave up the chase because his dot isn’t moving.
If it wasn’t raining so hard, I’d go out to try for a lightning shot or two but it’s a frog-strangler right now.
