Subj : Resend Re: moving or not To : Nancy Backus From : Daryl Stout Date : Mon Jun 15 2020 09:56:00 Nancy, NB> And now she'll know for when the next time comes... ;) Good that the NB> tornado didn't come too close to you after all, too.... :) I've been under 2 tornadic funnel clouds, within a mile of 2 rain wrapped tornadoes, am a 2 time indirect lightning strike survivor (but I carry no electrical charge, and can be handled safely ), and nearly drowned in swirling floodwaters. So, I get very nervous with inclement, stormy weather. Saturday night, a "backdoor cold front" (moved from northeast to southwest across the state...instead the "normal" west to east, or northwest to southeast) sent out an "outflow boundary", causing thunderstorms to develop. One cell sat over downtown and midtown Little Rock, and DUMPED it's 500,000 tons of water. I got very little rain at my location, but with lightning nearby, I was offline for a few hours. NB> No sirens here, I don't get alarms on my cellphone... and of course I'm NB> not watching the TV... ;) But the NWS does break in to my radio NB> program if there is some weather threat in the region... The people around here have called in death threats to the TV stations, because they broke in with a tornado warning that wasn't for their area. What they refuse to accept is that the TV station doesn't just serve their county, and it proves that they are selfish. NB> When I checked this morning it was still stuck on May 17th... I check NB> regularly just in case something knocks it unstuck... ;) We have to quit using glue in our QWK packets.

NB> Richard got me going to weather.gov which is similar to wUnderground NB> (since it gets info from there anyway when it's working)... that gives NB> fairly current temperature, as well as a week's out forecast... :) I use weather.gov exclusively, as the National Weather Service is the only one authorized to issue watches, warnings, and advisories.
