Wasn't that just a hoot! I just caught a glimpse of two people blowing away!

Hope they don't decide to do something trackside somewhere!

I think I've spent a fair amount of my career running from hurricanes, typhoons and other things that go bump in the night. So since you are 1) related to mother nature or 2) actually mother nature using an alias, I will not mess with M la M.

PA might be in trouble though.

Best not to rile up the Mookie - altho I would have not taken the entire beach, just would have ruffled his front mat a little. Such a waste, but I don't think they ever rebuilt out there. Anyone from that side of the country know for sure?

Not as many problems as we thought we might have. Weather people here reminded me of the little guy in the "Airplane" movies who was always running around in circles and wringing his hands. Our section of WV had more wind and rain yesterday when a monstrous cold front went through than we did with the hurricane - helps to be west of the mountains.

Big railroad-related trouble right now seems to be with power outages affecting signals, switches, etc.

Speaking of weather and CNN

When the American Airlines planes crashed in Little Rock about 4 or 5 years ago killing the pilot and some of those on board, the news reported that people at home watching tv had better weather reports than the pilot did. NOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE? At the time of the crash and just before it we had heavy rain, bad lightening, strong winds (blew trees down) and the power was off and on. I heard the explosion (working at the airport) and thought it was just a transformer blowing up. Not a good deal.

There was another thread asking about damage at Sandpatch but people were not posting much there about the storm. I had also wondered if the railroads had any weather related problems out east.

Have a story regarding Hurricanes. I do a lot of people tracking and postal regulation enforcement on correct addressing. Had a tussle with a gentleman that lived on Top Sail Beach - he wanted his address one way and the PO said that was incorrect. I couldn't convince him otherwise.

So a hurricane came along and took away Top Sail Beach.

Moral of story - don't mess with La Mook!

Ok - you can throw rocks now - haven't had anyone yelling at me in several days!

So next time you watch a CNN story about the path of destruction from the latest tornado, notice they always show a trailer park that has been upended....

Now as far as hurricanes go, they are low pressure systems, and tend to gravitate towards the high density of homes, particularly condos and resorts along the NC outer banks and VA coast.

The likelyhood of a tornado is directly proportional to the number of mobile homes in an area. Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Lousiana, Florida...lots of trailers, therefore lots of tornados. Nebraska apparently not as many. Mobile homes weigh less than a brick and mortar structure, so it creates a local area of low pressure which attracts this weather phenomena.

By golly, you are right! I wonder if the weathermen have figured this out yet!
No probably not. I always figure they can tell me the temperature on Mars, but not what the weather is going to do tomorrow. [B)]

Lincoln proper has never had a tornado. And while it would happen, it hasn't in about 150 years, so the odds are good it won't. However, a foot outside Lincoln could be another story, so plan to live near town!
