March 13, 200620 yr So yesterday was another ho-hum sunny, 75 degree day, then last night came and brought with it the evil storm clouds. I was at my girlfriend's house, which was right in the path of the strom, about two blocks away a tornado dropped, threw some loose stuff around, downed some power lines, ripped off some shingles from a few roofs, nothing too damaging, the worst damage was done by baseball (according to the weatherman it even got to be cell phone sized ) hail. We had nothing, no hail, just some rain and enough wind to throw up some loose grass and make my car really dirty. At least I thought that was the worst of it, I found out that really wasn't the worst. About four miles west of us a twister came down and took out several houses. But I'm ok, my immediate family is ok, and right now thats all I am concerned with.
March 13, 200620 yr glad you're ok. Went through some nasty hail & rain 2 nights ago while driving. Was glad to see no dents in my car when I checked it later. I would guess it wasn't quite golf-ball sized hail. Cell-phone sized hail, eh? Hope they're small phones!
March 13, 200620 yr Cell-phone sized hail, eh? Hope they're small phones! Yeah, imagine one of those early cell phones.. Yikes.
March 13, 200620 yr Yeah, imagine one of those early cell phones.. Yikes. Like the one Zach Morris used? Glad to hear you're okay Satty
March 13, 200620 yr We're supposed to get some nasty stuff tonight. I guess that's what happens when it gets to the upper 70's in March (completely wrong for PA). I think I better put the Goat and the truck in the barn tonight.
March 14, 200620 yr Two nights of awesome storms! Luckily I live in southern Michigan, where even if there's a tornado warning, nothing has ever happened in my brief 19 years with memory!
March 14, 200620 yr What Camino said... Currently storming out, here. Sounded like fun, though, Satty.
March 27, 200619 yr Author How about a car-related update? A Ford dealership that was right in the path was advertising a "Hail Sale" last weekend, a few hundred to maybe a couple thousand dollars off the price of a damaged car. The evil Chevy dealership, which I hate, which was not in the path of the storm was advertising the same thing, except they were offering like $5000 off new Cobalts and $12k off '07 Tahoes.
March 27, 200619 yr I thought Senator Thurmond passed away... Aye, and apparently he's already convinced God to send his wrath down on those heathen sodomites of the Midwest.
March 28, 200619 yr Well, I was just reading the second sentence in Satty's original post... "right in the path of the strom..." :AH-HA_wink:
March 28, 200619 yr Well, I was just reading the second sentence in Satty's original post... "right in the path of the strom..." :AH-HA_wink: Yeah, I know. I saw your strom and raised you a heathen sodomite. :evil James Bond villain voice: Your move, Mr. Blu.
March 28, 200619 yr Aye, so I've been told. I guess that's what happens when you go two years without a haircut (minus minor trims to avoid mullets.)
March 28, 200619 yr Last Friday we were in a restaurant having lunch. We looked over... and there was a dude with a glorious mullet. One of my witty friends asked the waitress to ask him if we could "borrow his mullet".
March 28, 200619 yr Q: What do tornadoes and divorces in Appalachia have in common? A: Either way, you lose the mobile home. Pretty hair? Good Gawd, PB! Edited March 28, 200619 yr by trinacriabob
