Thunderstorm Warning/Watch

[Sutter'sBeard]

people die from thunderstorms?

Severe weather has been known to cause property damage and take lives. They even made Hollywood movies about it, some of them quite good.

You mean like "The Day after tomorrow." I keep waiting for the Ice Hurricane warning on my local newschannel.

Who wants to see video that my across-the-street neighbors took of our big hail storm on Saturday?

You do? Great!

I bet the cars in your area took a beating during that.

That's crazy. I was maybe a mile away at the time and saw no hail at all. Rain did cancel the movie in the park.

They couldn't wait until the storm stopped before running out there to pick one up?

So is your house the blue one?

My neighbors like to run around in storms. I swear, they're intelligent and fun loving.

And nope, my house is behind some trees down the street. But you're welcome to come over and have a beer, if you can find me.

I work with a young guy who is probably the biggest baseball fan I have met. Cub fan, but great guy. He goes to several different parks every year, so I asked him about Miller park last week. Yesterday I get an email saying he was sorry he didn't get back to me, that he was down in Texas catching an Astros game and a couple of Rangers games, and "chasing storms".

I thought he was kidding, maybe he got caught up in some bad weahter accidently or whatever, but he was not. He signed up for a class at a local college and went down chasing storms, and he came within 1.2 miles of a F3/4 tornado that went through the town of Earle, Arkansas. The video footage is unreal, I'll have to ask him where he put it and get a link.

I'd much rather get storm updates than our stupid "Drought Updates".....they play this serious, horror movie like music and show a drought update graphic on the screen (I think it's cracked dirt?)and then come on to tell us, guess what? We're still fart dry, people! Duh.

I love watching some of those storm chasers specials.....those folks are crazy!
