Weathering the Weather

[cotton]

Thanks

Thank God it only turned out to be heavy heavy wind and rain with thunder and lightning

[fluffy]

phew...........i saw some aftermath footage on the BBC this morning......shocking stuff........my heart goes out to those poor souls......

[Canadian Jayne]

We're are now just starting to get some
relief from horridly hot humid days
the rain has started but severe wind warnings
are coming with it
but at least there is some break from the breaking temperatures
that have been here in Eastern North America
for the past few weeks

[fluffy]

it's roasting here........ makes a change

[Canadian Jayne]

Really hot here also.
It's a
"heat wave"
I'm surprised they've never done a disaster movie about
a heat wave
that I know of,
Anyone know of one?

[fluffy]

we seem to jump between Biblical style rainshowers.......aka mega downpours and roasting hot.........very very strange........we normally have piddly grey drizzle.....
and i swear i can feel Autumn starting.........i'm super tuned into the seasons...

[Canadian Jayne]

The weather seems to have a similar temp in camparison to
the 40's weather.
It's still a little cooler than it was back then.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the atomic meltdown in
Japan since the Atom Bomb occurred in the 40's
and they say the meltdown in Japan does affect it's surroundings
and is worse than they thought.

Could this disaster have an affect on our world weather?
I wonder.

In the scriptures it talks about the Abomination of Desolation
Could this be it?
I still wonder

[fluffy]

oooh that sounds a bit scary....... ......what does it mean?

[Canadian Jayne]

We had some good thunder clapping going on today in our city.
Hydro went off while I was at an indoor pool, so we had to wait
until the lights came back on
meanwhile at a friends' neighbours place
sparks were flying
wow, how scary is that

the story reminded me of when I was in New York State
near Canandaigua
and my children and I saw a chimney hit by lightening

Anyone else have some scary lightening striking stories

[fluffy]

I was in Sorento when i was a little kid when the city was hit by a really fierce lightening storm....my dad thought it might be fun to go to the roof of the hotel to watch the muticoloured zig -zags (They were really really fierce)......except not only were we standing on the tallest building in the area but we were standing next to a metal flag pole......lol.........it was only much later when i think we realised we'd been very lucky......
I Confess i adore lightening storms though.........it's like nations passions at their wildest.........

[Canadian Jayne]

I love watching the lightening too,
it's like you're own personal light show
and everyone sees it differently
it all depends on your location

The sun was really red last night
as it went down

[fluffy]

awe i ADORE sunsets and sunrises like that too.. ........i've jumped in my car to get a better look when the sky's been burning......it really touches my heart... Bizarrely the best sunsets i've ever seen were in Dundee and that was supposed to be due to the pollution from the refinery........the sky was on fire, absolutely stunning in the Autumn light......i'm a bit soppy but nature like that makes me teary.........lol......

[Canadian Jayne]

We seem to be getting tornado warnings on a monthly basis.
Wasn't there a time when there was a break from these
catastrophe's?

I saw a shooting star tonight, about 10:00
I wonder if anyone else saw it

One person walking while I rode my bike past
saw it too.

When was the last time you saw a shooting star?

[fluffy]

about 10 years ago we went to the edge of the city and watched a meteor shower all night.......
I think we've got the tail end of Irene here.......we've got really high winds........if we're getting them it MUST have been a bad one........hope everyone stayed safe.....

[cotton]

I hope everything will be ok for you CJ. Stay safe.

if we're getting them it MUST have been a bad one........hope everyone stayed safe.....

Shes still making her rounds. Shes supposed to be hitting my state today.
