Damage In Tolland

Listen to this. I got the aura during running one summer morning 2 years ago. It was light out and sun was up, so it had to have been June or July. I was several miles from so had no other choice but to keep going. The aura stopped after the 20-30 minutes and I never got the headache afterwards. The only time that has ever happened. Both my daughters have had one each so far, describing exactly what happens to me. But none for them in a long time. I know they are hereditary and I just pray I haven’t passed these onto them . I also have noticed over the years that I get many more in the fall and winter months than I do in the summer. I have attributed that to the stronger HP we get in winter

Yes Tip.. that was a fantastic description of exactly how my migraines unfold. That visual aura where it’s initialy a blind spot where you lose vision. That’s when you know what is about to happen and are overwhelmed with dread and fear for what’s about yo transpire. You can be having a great day and the second that hits, a dark cloud consumes you. Then the wavy lines and weird shapes and colors like looking thru a kaleidoscope. That lasts 20-30 minutes for me. Smells, sounds, any human contact is not wanted. Darkness is the only help until vision returns. Then the massive , pounding headache begins. Starts as a low throb and escalated quickly to hammer pounded over head. I used to throw up and get nauseous in younger days. Can recall pulling over on roads and highways after having to leave work and vomiting. I used to get 20-30 a year. When I hit my mid 30’s.. they stopped for several years. They then started up again late 30’s and continue now. I had one just last week . But they now generally do not cause nausea. I have a Triptan pill I take at aura onset and it helps minimize the effects to some degree. I have found my triggers are mainly due to light. Flashing lights, sunlight while driving thru the trees are huge. The other one is when strong high pressure is building in. Always on a bright, dry clear day when HP is pressing in. And usually in the mid morning. The one last week was no exception. Barometric triggers for me are huge. All related to the brain. They are completely dehabilitating and force you to alter your work , your life, and for me.. it’s a constant “in the back of my mind “ fear.

Gibbs was saying yesterday he thinks the front never clears the NE and we just wet and humid all LD weekend, then Bermuda ridge backs up west and we furnace dews for awhile . which is why I mentioned a few days ago how if you just changed a few things on Wills yore map he posted, you could see how things could change

Coaching

75-80 both weekend days even in the hills. Outdoor soccer tourney. Looking forward to it. No rain and cold like folks were mentioning

Looks like not much today . Maybe a downpour tonight for a few towns

Ryan’s got a beaut. 75-80 all weekend into early next week and you can see the dews and warmth coming back late next week and beyond. No 40’s, no furnaces turning on, no rainy misty weekend .. just a few days of normal despite some silly gfs posts

Manchester and Gbury. Crews going out tomorrow to survey

Lots of lightning to NW

Great job by Wiz today identifying CT as target zone. Terrible job by Yoda who trolled us saying no TOR threat

Watch that rightmover ahead of line heading towards WeHa

BDL and CEF were both into the 90’s. Don’t recall exact #’s

Same here with the migraines . Started at 16. Dehabilitating for many years. Been to Drs, neurologists etc. Have medication and they are easier to get thru as I get older . Would not wish them on worst enemy . Would never inhale or vape anything, but that’s me. The visual aura for me is what kicks them off

Look it up

That had 95/75 and an EML. Had we had an EML this would have been massive

That line may well spin up as it hits valley. Also a decent bow sig there

Ginx has a TOR heading right for him!

My mom. That is oTG

Told her to get in basement now. That is legit

That’s another big TOR headed for same spot

My mom lives on Manchester / Bolton Line. Says damage in several areas

Trying to get there in time

Look at that hook!

Tor!

I know
