.....Did someone say "hotdogs...........", Now that's real food. But watch I don't too many.

When I heard the weather radio go off again and then the sirens sounding, I was rather surprised. It appears the warning was issued about when the tornado touched down, or perhaps even shortly after. Still, I think the NWS did well since there really was not much of a velocity couplet on radar that would have indicated a tornado. The good news is that there were no injuries.

Spotters on the ground must've eyeballed it thanks to lightning?
Joanie and I are currently up in Minnesota, and I'm concerned about what we'll find when we get home- looks like eastern Iowa got doused again last night.

It may not be summer officially yet, but Mother Nature has certainly handed us in northern NY a nice summer day. I'll see if there's some potato salad in the cooler...

Hey Willy - Omaha had a tornado. Thankfully there wasn't a lot of damage and I don't think anyone was hurt - but bet it scared the beejeepers out of some people. Plus it was during the nite! Got details? And how far from it do you live?
What a way to get a wake up call!

The tornado was not very far from home. I'm in La Vista and the tornado was in Millard, so there were only 2 or 3 miles separating me from the tornado. Most of the damage appears to be roofs blown off and trees and powerlines down. That will probably be EF-1 or EF-2 damage.

Agreed.
I hold no ill-feelings towards any of the posters here.
....Yes, Calm would be nice.
Storms...{and heat}......yes.....but are they ever making the grass grow fast here where we've just had the rain, and no flooding....Meaning "right here" in our addition location.
....One could wave at truck drivers....They'll blow the horn for ya....
My goodness - I woke up this morning to see the aftermath of two storms - one here in our fair city and one on the forum! This is what happens when people try to communicate when they are tired.
Dan/Willy - you can't take this personally. A discussion happened and IMOH (aren't you proud of me knowing that little bit) Tree got in there and made his point and stayed a gentleman the whole time. You are entitled to your opinions and should be able to express them on any of the topics. I think "calm" is the secret word here.
Rain and evidently wind is headed east again. Blew up out of nothing - but we seem to be doing that a lot lately. We must be doing 11 years of drought and then 11 years of rain. Wonder where the combine button is.....
Must find my coffee cup....
.....Our Sunday morning is starting out sunny....with 74.5 degrees and rising fast. Looks like another hot one. Sure hope it backs off on the rain and nasty stuff as folks here in wide areas of the mid west {Indiana included}, many folks have no home to go to now and all kinds of problems.
Lucky here at our location as we've just had some rain and a bit of wind at times....nothing else.
This coming weekend {13th thru the 15th}, we have scheduled a large "doings" called Summer Heat....Usually performed at the Muncie airport, but this year will be right here in Yorktown's park and rec. location....and it's low ground and in the last few days had up to 4' of water across the wide open grassy area which includes paved paths....rest rooms fac....pavilion structures, and so on. Summer Heat is a large collections of hot air balloons....vendors......rides for the younger and in general a carnival atmosphere......Expecting 30,000 plus people. Now the trick is to get the area cleaned up and dried......
Good Sunday morning, everyone! Your right, Joe: another steamy, sticky, day ahead.
Thanks for making more lemonade, too! On hot days like the last few, lemonade is always a thirst quencher. Hope you and Matt have a great time at the Auglaize Village.
And thank you, Joe, for making the cinnamon rolls, coffee and juice.
Do I have any requests for Sunday Dinner today?
Sure do hope that everyone in Southern Indiana are all safe & sound this morning. Saw video last night, of all the flooding, on the late news.
good morning
going to be a steamy day here in nw ohio.juice coffee and rolls are ready to go.also there is plenty of lemonade made for today.Matt and I are going to go to auglaize village and catch their speeder ride.
stay safe

Just my take on things. When I'm working on the railroad, I am expected to wave, and get my picture taken a lot. And perform safely. Somehow we all manage to accomplish it all and everyone goes home every night.

What heat? If that is heat, go back to square one old sock.
I had no idea that this is the forum where you have to go to gossip about other posters.
Just stopping by to say HOWDY!!!
Long shift (24 hrs.) at the ambulance Co. then on my way home I gave a fellow Emt a ride home and then stopped at a store 25 miles from home and my wifes car died, called my Emt buddies to bring out an ambulance for a jump and it would not turn over, called for a tow and finally got home 4 hours late....ugh, awful day.
Lets hope I don't see another one like that for a long time, on an up note, my partner and I almost delivered a baby last night, if we would have gotten to her 5 minutes later we would have been delivering him in the back of our rig...whew...close one, she had the baby in the Er...yikes, it was a boy, 8Lbs 6 oz. no name yet, but Mom and baby are doing great!
I'll be by for coffee tomorrow morning, until then have a great night!

Q, just saw on the news of the flooding south of Indy, looks like a big mess.
I'm semi-familiar with that area.
Larry, very "Muggy" here today also, a good breeze would have been more than welcome.
I'm sure that the "Crusader's" on the road blocks would have welcomed it.
Happy Birthday Sir Chicken!!
Q: Why did the Chicken cross the road?
A: to get to his Birthday Celebration!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Well, a decent day on the railroad. Wish I could tell you about the passengers, but I hardly saw them. We had a trainee trainman, which left me as the only "qualified employee" to ride the locomotive with the engineer. Running an ALCO C425 long hood forward certainly gives one an idea of what it was like to ride on a steamer (we'll skip the smoke part). Didn't have to shovel coal, however.
Hot and muggy here today - up in the mountains the humidity wasn't so bad, though. Wish we'd get a little breeze to push some of this heat out of the house. Walking the dog will be a pleasant experience.
Willy - I'll stop over to the "waving" thread, but I doubt you were in the wrong - some people just aren't public relations types...
MC - happy birthday!
Happy Returns to Sir Chicken. Hope you are enjoying your "I am older" day.

.....The next to last devastating flood back in my home area of Johnstown occured in the spring of 1936.
Down town {in Johnstown}, the city hall {large stone building}, has 3 brass markers on one corner of the building.....The high water mark for: 1889.....1936....and 1977. The first one is up to the 2nd floor windows height. That's when a dam let go up river 14 or so miles away and poured it's water down the valley, etc.....and killed over 2,200 people. Even the last flood of '77, I believe the fatalities numbers were 81....!
