Stacy 0 #6 August 8, 2003 i was inside, like a really nasty t-storm from where i was. i didn't know the extent of the damage until seeing the news report on TV. I didn't even lose power. but where I work (a hospice care unit) is in madness right now, all backup generators running, etc. aerials are funny, a few flattened buildings, some with minor damage, then others untouched, all fairly close together, except for Riviera which got pretty much nailed. the pic i posted was frm the news center. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pd190 0 #20 August 8, 2003 We had 9 (nine) water spouts off of the beach last weekend due to a thunderstorm. I got some crappy video of one. Man, it was scary..... Ever watched about 30 pilots running around trying to tie their planes down in a massive rain storm??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,160 #21 August 8, 2003 I missed the announcement to go to the center of the building once during a tornado warning; I was right by the window (having left my un-microphoned computer room) when it it. Not a major one, but still. The sky was green, and very dense -- I couldn't really see the parking lot 50 feet away. I didn't see anything caught up in it, so it might have been only the edges. 2 cars were damaged on the top of the parking garage. They, um, wired the computer rooms for emergency sound after that .

What the hell was i doing there anyway????? Yes, twisters look really cool from a distance...until there's one on your street, headed your way! Or until your friends decide it would be fun to chase one and you end up practically underneath it because it changes direction on you! Not good situations...living where I do, tornadoes are frequent enough that you have to learn proper respect and fear of them because they can be some nasty creatures! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I have a chihuahua that lives with my parents who freaks out at a little rain, and my boyfriend has a great dane and a doberman that don't appreciate thunderstorms; I can't imagine how any of them would act during a tornado! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
