Move to Schuylkill County. We get tornadoes up here...

This seems a bit high for 10:30am, so I'm not sure if my fan is working properly or not...

Nothing showing on radar, but it sure looks like the atmosphere is trying to brew something up...

Hopefully we get a little rain tonight. I think I found out why the rain gauge wasn't working on my station. It's a self tipping gauge, and the tipper was stuck in the tipped position. If anyone looks at my stats, the 0.12" it currently shows is a false reading from me screwing around with it.

Excellent opening post!!!

I've always seemed to be a couple degrees warmer than you in the morning. Here it was 43. It's a beautiful January morning here in....oh wait. Nevermind.

Oh shit. I forgot about the possibility of a lynching...

I started the winter thread and that didn't work out too well so I'll defer to mahantango.

I've heard versions where just the word is censored and others where they removed the entire segment.

Sun is shining here at the moment with partly cloudy skies.

Lots of videos in this Facebook link and thread. Not sure if you have to join or follow to see them, though. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/xYoGFyMKYB2QDHcz/?mibextid=oFDknk

Wife said there's reports of damage over there. She just showed me a hell of a video taken outside of Redner's Market in Shenandoah.

So far, yes.

I must have brought the storms from St Louis back with me. Just got a tornado warning for Mahanoy City and Tamaqua...

Yikes...just watched the video. I'm very thankful I was ahead of this one and not in it, if it indeed touched down.

If I can ever get into the motel (still downpouring) maybe I'll get to see some news reports.

This bad boy was practically in my rear view mirror coming through St Louis. I was ahead of it by about 15 minutes. I'm now at my motel in Troy IL and was lucky to be parked under the roof when the hail hit.

Well, today is my last full day in Phoenix. Tomorrow everything I'm bringing home gets loaded in a Ubox, and the guy buying what I've not donated picks his stuff up. Then I begin the 2,300 mile journey home. I'd be lying if I didn't say that it's been an emotional ride these past few weeks/months. My mom's fall. Her getting sick and then her passing. Going through the house deciding what to trash, donate, sell, and bring home. And now leaving the home they loved for 25 years. It hasn't been easy, and I've made a couple of mistakes, but I've discovered that I'm stronger than I ever thought I was. It's been quite a life lesson, that's for sure. Hopefully, once I'm on the road, I'll be focused on the future, and not the past. The memories, though, will always be in my heart.

Haven't talked to the wife yet, but I think Tamaqua had a good storm. People are saying most of the town is without power.

I'm moving back east from Arizona this weekend, and plans are to be in Amarillo Saturday night and central/east Missouri Sunday night. Am I good, or might I see some action?

That's the same street before and after??? Yikes.

Weeks #2 and #3 are NOT acceptable...

I give this post a resounding Siskel and Ebert

A friend lives there and her last Facebook post last night were that the sirens were going off. She hasn't updated yet if she's ok.
