Mainly quiet here but I wish it would tear loose

They just broke into the ballgame on the radio and said that where I live is supposed to really get it at 11:28 pm. :shock:

Quiet up here.

Not for long though. Forecast is reporting that we may get hit overnight.

Main line of storms going about 5 miles south of me
Can hear their sirens going off now
Lots of heavy rain though
Hope everyone makes it through with no damage
Wonder if Hart rode his bike to work today?

I'm pretty sure I just saw some lightning... haven't

oh wait, there goes the thunder.

profdlp · **Posted:** Thu Jun 13, 2013 12:41 am

We didn't get diddly-squat. Guess I can come out of my bunker now. :CAMPING:

House is shaking...

I had 3 loud thunder claps and that was it...boring

I haven't heard anything since my last post. Lame.

We just had your average thunderstorms last night. I hope everyone out there survived El Derecho with little or no damage!

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jun 13, 2013 7:45 am

Still alive here, everything standing full of water though
Down home not so lucky, couple of trees close to the house hit last night,
so guess what I get to do this weekend :banghead:

My Mom said in all her 80 years she's never had lightning hit so close to the house
Wondering how Chris made out since he's staying in a tent near Morgantown WV

UPDATE
Chris made it through the night, tent survived 50 plus MPH wind ,lightning strikes close by, rain etc
Anyone who's been to my house knows the small stream that goes through it, water is up level with the yard. Gotta love living in the Great Black Swamp area :wink:

Nope didn't ride yesterday, didn't want to chance the weather. All heck broke loose around here last night. The lighting was so intense it kept turning off the dust to dawn light on my garage. Yeppers had the sirens and weather to go with it but no twister, thank you Lord! It was fun watching the storm move through the area nice and dry on the porch, then I moved into the garage so I was closer to the refrigerator :5SHOTS:

Yes have to protect the fridge in case of storms/ power outages etc
I mean if the power went off they say its good to drink up all the beer quickly

Well I had that under control :SOMBRERO:

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Thu Jun 13, 2013 2:25 pm

Most boring, way overhyped storm ever.

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:01 pm

In your area maybe other areas got some good damage etc

profdlp · **Posted:** Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:13 pm

It was boring and over-hyped here too, but the nice thing about "boring" is that you don't have to clean up after it.

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:52 pm

They were hyping it up really bad even up here.

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:55 pm

I'd much rather have it that way and be prepared than not hear anything and not be ready.
The way it used to be you knew there was a storm when you roof blew off, up till then you knew nothing.
We've still got water standing everywhere here , saw some trees down coming back from Toledo and some shingles off of roofs. It hit hardest just south and east of me from what I heard on TV

Seems the worst was around Marion, south of Mansfield. A couple of tornado touchdowns but no injuries.

Went to see some customers up in Ashtabula County - over 8 inches of rain since last Friday up there, 16 inches since May 5. That's a lot of water :dizzy:

Glad everyone on here is OK.
