| No it's rare we get storms. We usually get 2-3 thunderstorms durring the summer. (that's like 1 per week... J/K) The warning still has not been updated so it's not coming, but it is windy so we're getting part of it. But I was watching it and it was just heading east and passing right beside us. I wish I had one of those satelites they use to look down on the earth it would be interesting to watch storms like this.  |

I really like storms. That is, if they don’t cause too much damage. There is nothing more peaceful than the time before a storm. Quiet…Dark…Windy…  You don’t get this sort of thing often, do you? |

| Yeah looks like a tornado/huricane or something. We can't get huricanes here since they come from water (sea) but a tornado could be possible. I don't think it's ever happened but it's naturally possible so... well this is scary. But it seems to have passed us, it's a line just like the warning says and last time I checked it was a good portion going east, and the whole thing is more in the north so it's not on top of us. I sort of was hoping to get it though, since it really looks like an exciting storm.  I love storms like this. I helped my mom put all the flowers in the shed and in the house, oh the excitement! We're suppost to get -2 tonight though so there will probably be a frost. |
