1. talk to me

hate this weather

[greenbriar]

2. okay I will talk to myself

tornado watch till 1 AM

[lonestarnot]

7. That's 3 hours?

[greenbriar]

11. no just an hour

we are central time zone

[lonestarnot]

22. Scarey. I've never, well I guess we had something similar when I was a little kid.

But I've never live in a tornado area. :hug:

6. Looks like a pretty nasty system

I saw a few of those when I lived in Arkansas. The storm of 1970 sticks out especially in my memory since that was the closest I've ever been to a tornado (a big sucker that was less than 10 miles away).

However, here in the Tokyo area, it's clear and 72 degrees. Storms (if you can call them that) generally last for only a few minutes, with the exception of the very occasional typhoon.

Anyway, stay safe :hi:

[lonestarnot]

10. GB you still here?

[cynatnite]

3. That nasty stuff is right over Alva and headed to Cherokee...

on the OK side that is. I grew up in that part of the country. Looks nasty!

[Zoigal]

4. Saw the radar pictures

Keep safe...do you have a basement?

Was raised in Missouri. Grandfather always

took the family to the basement on nights like this.

Take care.

[lonestarnot]

9. Can you take the pooter to the basement?

And welcome to DU Zoigal. :toast: I'd need the elevator for the basement tonight or a stair rail. My knees hurt. Swamper letting me know I have them I guess.

[greenbriar]

12. yea

gettin our gear all ready

[lonestarnot]

17. Holy moly batman. What gear? I wouldn't know whether to pack the

dog or the door. Flashlights water blankets clock and what else?

[greenbriar]

19. flashlights, candles, shoes, purse , water

blankets

jackets


anything one might need for a day or two should a house blow away

[lonestarnot]

23. There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

:scared:

[lonestarnot]

5. Oh shit! Be safe.

[blonndee]

8. I feel for you greenbriar

I live in Oklahoma (central) and this kind of stuff is so scary. I'm watching with you.

[greenbriar]

13. check this out...its getting wicked

[blonndee]

14. Yikes--big hook, looks like to me.

Or maybe a couple. At least the storms are moving really fast--that sometimes helps. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

[greenbriar]

15. thx

probably will be nothing...but I HATE storms especially when hubby is gone

[blonndee]

16. I know how you feel.

We're going to get some later on, so it may be a long night. It's just me and the dogs and one of them has severe storm anxiety. She's already had her "doggie valium" for the night. Are you out of the storm yet?

[greenbriar]

18. nope...check the radar out now

http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=ict&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=no

[blonndee]

20. Should I be looking at the Wichita area?

Sorry, I've been looking in OK since that's where I am. I don't know why I assumed you were in OK.

[greenbriar]

21. yea, that would be close to us

.

just hope it passes soon

[XOKCowboy]

24. Got family north of Tulsa..

Hope all is well with you and yours. Got ya in my thoughts.

[DemoTex]

25. Better radar (max tops, trends, and movement). Update itself'

Lots of Mesos and Hail. One RED TVS (TORNADIC VORTEX SIGNITURE) crossing the OK/KS line predicted path to the west of Wichita (ICT).

Stay safe!

[greenbriar]

[lonestarnot]

29. Doesn't look like the 93. LOL

[beevul]

27. Hang in there GB

We are about 5 miles from the kansas border, 4th county in from the west, in NE. We don't have much of anything at the moment, but in the last 2 days we had tornados 12 milers north and 15 miles south of us.

You sound like you have your bases covered. Stay aware and stay safe.

[greenbriar]

28. thanks

hubby called...saw the radar and knows how I am

[lonestarnot]

30. I'm falling out GB is it looking any better? I am poooooped and

hoping you're going to be fine. Be looking for you tomorrow. Goodnight and be safe.

[greenbriar]

[orleans]

32. how is everything there now? did the warning pass? n/t

[greenbriar]

33. calming down...not quite done but almost done

T-storm warning for about 30 more minutes and the thunder and lightening is rockin and rollin

[NMDemDist2]

34. you OK?

I hate when weather like that comes through here.

:hug:

[greenbriar]

36. yes...thank you

the storm is moving down towards OKLA and moving away from us.

I am going to hang out about 20 more minutes then hit the hay...Unless things change

[blonndee]

35. Almost over!! You're going to sleep SO well tonight!

It's always such a relief when they're gone.

[orleans]

37. god, i hate that. well, it sounds like things have been "downgraded"

at least.

if you turn the lights way up you might be able to ignore some of the lightening. (that is, if you want to ignore it)

[greenbriar]

38. thanks all. threat is over for now...heading to bed

thanks for talking me through this

[orleans]

39. glad it's over. sleep well. n/t

[lonestarnot]

40. Glad you are ok.

:hug: But I've got to ask. How can you take that all the time?
