TimB Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 1 hour ago, Ahoff said: Didn’t you want severe storms? They cause destruction, like flash flooding. It’s complicated, and I think I’ve discussed my position on this before. When I say I like severe, I don’t mean I want an EF-5 tornado to rip through downtown Pgh. I like a nice thunderstorm with wind every now and again. Not the kind of wind that snaps large trees in half, but I don’t mind seeing tree branches and limbs laying around after a good storm. Would love to see a tornado in the flesh just once before I die, but not in a populated area and certainly not in my backyard. There are severe weather fans all over these forums and most of them are probably not sociopaths. What form of weather that I don’t like causes more deaths than any other? I don’t agree with people who like it, but I don’t fault them either. I know no one is rooting for death. Everyone has their preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree with people who like it, but I don’t fault them either. I know no one is rooting for death. Everyone has their preferences. Yeah, and 90 is unlikely to kill many people. I'd like to see 100 at some point too, but I'm not actively rooting for that. Equating a 90 degree day to a 100 degree day is not an accurate comparison, but if we're going to compare them one to one, then we'd have to equate any severe weather as equals. You know what I mean. We don't want death, of course, that would be insane, but seeing an extreme is not that out of the box. We all have preferences, so let's not put others down or make fun of them if someone is disappointed that they didn't get weather they like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo74 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Hard to remember a night like last night. Storms seemed to keep forming over and over just west of the city. Like a previous poster, it was great to just grab a beer and sit on the porch after sundown. Looks like another stormy evening on tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilson Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Thursday was a nasty one for us. We basically had a three-hour thunderstorm that had varying intensities of precipitation. A lot of close lightning strikes. Makes me wish I had a camera setup on a tripod to record the whole thing. Fortunately we got a break last night, as the worst of the storms skipped us over (perhaps because we used up all the energy the night before). We've more than made up for the dull spring. Now I'm kind of looking forward to cool fall weather, if such a thing will happen this year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
