Tornado warnings

[billb]

Message on the phone said seek shelter immediately and this warning lasted for several hours.
I quickly took a picture outside..
It’s usually light out at this time but clouds were extremely dark.
Lightning..thunder strong winds and hail and one person reported over eleven inches of rain under two hours.
Ocean temperatures are rising and we were extremely lucky this

The Planet is changing but Humans don't care, we go about our daily lives and hope it won't affect us, or hope our government can do something about it ... Truth be told we could have done something about it 30 years ago, but I think its too little too late now. Those who have money and power will be able to protect themselves, buy their way out of bad climate situations but not us on the bottom, we have to live with the circumstances' of our politicians decisions.. good or bad

Take care

Everyone hopes it will never happen again but I think the reality is different.. Canada is on fire... I could not have imagined it in a 1000 years.... Hottest temperatures ever recorded in the last 3 weeks... who could have imagined a world like this

Wow, Bill! Growin up in tornado alley, old folks used to go out and stick a butcher knife in the ground to cause the tornado to turn away from their house. Hope this doesn't become a regular part of your weather.

RGINN we have never experienced the sky like this
Definitely very strange weather over here lately..
A couple days before a person had over eleven inches of rain in less than two hours.
Reports said ocean temperatures are rising causing problems
I hope all is well by you

We got very lucky as the warnings lasted several hours and occurred the following morning also.
The weather patterns lately seem to be all over the place where the weather people don’t seem to get the forecast right anymore.
I hope all is well in your area
Take care

Take care

You guys got it pretty bad up there. Is that house under that bridge or is it just camera angle? That would freak me out waiting for a car or worse yet a train falling on my house!

We have smog laws and emission regulations in the US. So…. We chase manufacturing to China. They are churning it out and we have “clean hands”.

With everything going in the wrong direction with glaciers melting and oceans warming and rising and temperatures like never before let’s hope better days will be a possibility

On June 18, 1974 I lived in Ankeny, Iowa. That night the town was hit with an F4 tornado. I was at a friend's apartment that was ground level and no basement. Thank God it was just west of the path of the tornado, but I'll never forget what I saw going on out the window. It was a heavy fearce wind whipping downpour and vehicles in the parking lot were starting to be blown into motion and trash dumpster were flying about smashing into the vehicles. Then I noticed the window I was looking out began to bulge in and out, so we all hunkered in an area away from all windows in a kitchen. The apartment I was in survived after the storm as to my 64' Malibu. I headed to my parents house after it was all over and saw total destruction the route home, as I wove around downed trees, powerlines and debris all over. When I came to some railroad tracks, I saw some parked boxcar had been blown over on their side. leaving only the wheel trucks still on tracks. Thank God my folks lived on the opposite side of the tornadoes path that I was on. They were both in bed and slept through it all. I worked for a homebuilder at the time and the following days I drove many hours in a 73' Chevy C60 dump truck that was loaded up with debris by loaders of destroyed buildings going back and forth to a site to dump all the destruction. The national gard was also loading my truck up with equipment they brought in. I was back in Ankeny a couple years ago and drove out to where all that debris was hauled to and its now acres of commercial and industrial buildings. All that memory of this gigantic pile of a town destroyed is completely out of sight and out of mind to most who live in Ankeny, Iowa today. I myself remember that experience very well.

That is bazaar what's going on up there. Seems we're having some pretty good weather around me, but the rebuilding of homes from the devastating Marshall fire of Dec. 30, 2021 is still going on. We've had some good rain this year and the open field vegetation is taller than in more recent dryer years, so I hope that doesn't ignite when it all dries out come this fall.

Wow
Thanks again for sharing.
I’m glad everything worked out.
For awhile over here I thought we were going to get hit as the lightning and thunder hail and rain fired up quickly
But this time we were lucky
Take care
