That was brilliantly understated there Low!Low said:
Mind if I use that as a quote? I'm glad the worst we get to complain about here in the NW is [email protected]$$ earthquakes and rain.
That was an amazing picture there, Pig. Glad you're around posting AFTER the fact... :yikes:
Weather tested my gear in a hail/wind storm this morning that came out of nowhere. Hail/rain: meh, not fun but not bad, Wind: DAMN that sucks

Floods and wind are our worst fears here!
The worst flood in 100 years cam last year! Hurricanes in the mountains!
Just a few years ago we had a small twister come through the mountain cove I live in.
It took the roof off two barns (the whole roof), one house (mostly shingles). Relocated two mobile homes (several feet).
The strange thing about it was, I was doing some yard work for the old lady that lives in one of the mobile homes that got knocked off the blocks.
I had a lawnmower trailer with less than a wheelbarrow load of dirt propped up on a brick setting about 10 feet away from the house. After every thing was said and done, the trailer was still sitting on the brick. :scratch:

Thank you, but I didn't take that. I'm a little crazy, but I'm not stupid. . :lol: That tornado posted had 280 to 300mph+ sustained winds. Oklahoma is a meteorologist hot spot in the spring and summer since we're right in the heart of tornado alley.Guideon72 said:
The attached pic I took in the safety of our lake house waiting for a shyt storm to show up a couple years ago, though. That's the worst part, just waiting, especially since none of the houses out here have cellars. :crazy:
Wreckage of that same F5/F6. The main meteorologist here was on the news that night visably shaken and almost crying telling everyone that if they're not underground, they're dead. I was fortunate b/c I was actually in Carnegie Deli, NYC, eating a $20 Ruben. lmao We were on a business trip and a guy I was with picked up the phone when his wife called. He got silent and then the next thing I hear was, "A mile wide?!" Where it was touching down was a mile wide.
So, luckily I wasn't here during that one. :crazy:
