Nobody else felt the earthquake?

I didn’t get my clouds with rain showers as promised

It’s brutal outside Most of the barn work is done in the early morning, the horses and myself are sweating just standing in the shade. Not the first drop of rain or an outflow boundary to cool things off either

I’m done with this heat

I hope you enjoy an awesome winter

92 currently with a dp in the upper 60’s giving me a HI of 96. Ugh

IMBY it's been 87 or above with elevated dp's 15 days this month. Tomorrow will start another stretch of the same

Hot, humid and hazy days of fall, winter, spring, summer in the south

Rained most of the morning and again this evening It was a nice break from the hot, humid summertime yuck. Another high 80 deg day on tap tomorrow before we get a little break this weekend.

For the third time in 10 days, this thread is now pinned for easier access. Thank you all once again for the great discussions and learning opportunities. Now......back to your regularly scheduled program

I was just posting the same thing as you ninja'd me At least 6" so far and counting as the storms are training along

1974......148 tornadoes across 13 states in 15 hours with 30 confirmed EF4/EF5. That violent day in April isn't anything I'll ever forget. 2011 was over 3 days with 343 tornadoes, 207 on the 27th, but only 15 were EF4/EF5. This is why there are only 2 "super outbreaks". Nothing else is comparable.

Welcome! We look forward to having you hang around

You too Shawn. Not sure where you are, but I'm not too fond of the soundings in the St.Matthews area

Once again, thank you all for the excellent discussion. For the second straight week, there is now a pinned thread for easier access. Now.....back to your regularly scheduled program

You mean Mississippi

Walterboro to Summerville got hit pretty good. I’m still waiting to hear from people...ugh. I’m glad to hear they’re okay! I don’t think Oconee(among a lot of others) has checked in yet, and I’m counting everyone off the list as they do. I’m really happy to hear those that have checked in are relatively unscathed for the most part Hopefully everyone else checks in soon.

You are correct. It looked like it went right over you. Glad to hear you all are okay.

I see most of the se crew is accounted for. Hopefully those that haven’t checked in, do so soon. I’m in Fountain Inn. The sound of generators and chainsaw’s fill the air, trees down mostly, damage to roofs, etc, and of course no power. St. Matthews got hit pretty hard. My son in law (fireman) and his crew are just now getting into the area because of all the debris.
