Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Wng, I have never experienced a tornado, imagine it must be quite scary when you know one is coming your way. How long do you generally have to wait it out in your shelter ?

Ex-hurricane Helene is having a minor temper tantrum here this morning, buffeting everything outside with winds from the south, although nothing in comparison to what others have experienced. Not too bad as long as I keep away from the woods - especially now the tree tops could be full of overweight badgers, testing out their new found climbing skills and looking for where I've hidden the peanuts

Seems to be a lot of bad weather worldwide.

A good Tuesday morning to you all.
Forecast is for thunderstorms after 11am. Which means they have no idea and keep doing
what you were doing...back to cleanup.

Warm damp morning, green mold growing like mad on white fencing in shady areas, on the schedule to all get powerwashed next month.
Until then, my neighbor's powerwashing business should be even busier, lot of homes down by the River that need all the gunk hosed out of first floors. With the contents of how many pig farms in it...big issues with storm related hog manure lagoons here.
Can't imagine a river of that coming down my road.

Until they design a pig that doesn't poop, hurricanes in pig land can be ecological disasters.
I wonder how long e coli can live on a damp surface?

75 going to 82 and more rain likely.

12 tornadoes reported around central Virginia yesterday. One person was killed. Schools stayed in lockdown for shelter in place for 2 or 3 hours past dismissal time. Worried parents, I'm sure. Only one warning that covered my part of the county. I took Coco, an emergency radio, and cell phone into the crawl space (wife is down in NC). We stay there until the tornado warning passes by or is cancelled, watching weather radar on the cell phone. Have had to do this several times over the years: nearest tornado we've ever had hit about a half mile away...another that was 1.5 miles away killed a young mother and her infant as it blew their house away.

Don, looks like a lot of interesting clubs.

Ron, thanks for posting those car pix...looks like a neat town, too.

Eric, hope Helene behaves. We have acorns falling in our woods now...no badgers.

Rivers are still rising in NC...about 200 miles of I-95 and I-40 as well as some alternate routes are closed.

75 outside this AM. Was raining. More rain on tap. Literally sitting on the interstate this AM. The one day an old client calls me into town and this happens. LOL.
Prayers to all. Be safe today in your weather recovery efforts.

My friends who went to Richmond from Wilmington to escape the storm
said they saw a real tornado go by and others were in the area.

If I ever got the time, I'd like to build a small concrete block safety area in the corner of my garage.
Tornadoes are just plain bad news.
