You got my prayers, Dude. But will ya keep the damn rain in PA please??? I'd like a nice weekend for father's day and the cemetery can get a bit "mushy" when it rains.
David, we've not had bad storms at his point here in eastern Ohio. We have had more than enough rain though and still pouring now.:(
We just had a bad storm a little while ago and it's getting ready to hit again. I can hear the thunder rumbling. Be safe, David.
Right now it's a torrential downpour in Pittsburgh with thunder and and lightning, but so far no high winds (yet).Quote:

Thanks, Karen. I'm alright here so far, but there's still plenty of severe weather here.Quote:

Don't worry too much about tornadoes in your area, they rarely strike that far up the coast. Although, if you do hear the tornado sirens go off, take shelter right then.
Reggie, unfortunately, we DO get tornadoes in our area. (Ohio/PA)Quote:

We had hail the size of golf balls but no real damage to our trailer. The following morning we found out how close the tornado came to our house.
I'll say a prayer for ya but I am sure all will be fine.
A tornado watch is however, one step away from a warning. Something to take very seriously. I hear ya about 1985...Quote:

We get so many watches up here in Pennsylvania it is tough for me to get worked up about them. I used to fret and fret but realized if I was prepared I would be fine.Quote:
