Exactly what I was thinking, and then we start getting all of the alerts, yet not a single thing on the radar. My wife said they were closing at 4 to get everyone out of there. Either way, shelter door is open so it can air out some, chairs are ready, umbrellas are by the door. Man I miss our big basement where we didn't even have to go outside and I had a bar and big screen to enjoy while the family played video games underground. Now we have a big ole nice house and a crappy pre fab shelter out front. Time to start saving money for a new kick ass shelter.
With today's radar I would just watch it closely and not go into it until needed.
Two years ago I was standing in my garage watching the storm and the radar, and a tornado was coming strait for me, I was ready to run across the street to my neighbors shelter, when it lifted.
That's some good stuff isn't it! Really gets the blood pumping. We've only been hit once and it just threw a big playhouse into our pool, flipped our big propane tank, blew in our garage door, and stripped about half our shingles. What sucks is we were leaving to go cook for the kids at Falls Creek the next day. We managed to tarp off the roof and riggernig the garage door and still made it on time. New garage door and roof were completed before we even made it back home. I love small towns, especially when we have just about any kind of service personnel you could need and you know them by name.
Well, how did you make out last night? The storm coming for us was the Southern late pop up storm. It started out strong but fizzled before it got here about 2am. I'm glad too because I fell asleep when I was supposed to be on high alert. We got a new roof because of the hail several years back and took advantage of the situation to put class 4 hail shingles on. Our insurance went down 33% after that, even with the claim. Check with your insurance and see if they offer a discount, some do and some don't. It might be worth switching to an insurance company that does give the discount if need be. Hope all is well.
Ty my fren, prepared here in Tuttle
Thanks, I will drive my old beat up truck today to work.
I don't think it will be super bad,as we have not had the hot weather today. We usually have hot weather when we have super bad tornados.

Wouldn't mind some hail, I need a new roof.....
I'm at work so I can't watch it much, but it is the best TV ever.

No problem here in the city. We did go into the shelter at work for a short time,but no big deal.
