When I posted about Radar Scope’s capabilities, I was completely uniformed. It can do vastly more than I knew at the time. This is a pretty long video but it’s a nice overview, and the last few minutes are of the guy actually chasing a tornado so you can skip those. He’s got five, I
Please note that I wrote this May 1, 2019. The damage has been done in Texas and Oklahoma, though you wouldn’t know it if you looked at The Weather Channel or Wunderground— all they care about right now is India. I’ll see for myself 1b. WEATHER SITES AND APPS for your devises For all around
The chicken & pastry is done, at least we’ll be well-fed.
@USTornadoes Good advise. Also, put a flashlight in your pocket clean the kitchen & run the dishwasher pick stuff up from the floor– make sure the path to your tornado room is clear wash & dry a load of towels be sure everything is fully charged, including your battery packs and weather radio Think it
√ I know that’s not a check mark. The ability to improvise comes in handy sometimes.
A short story of preparedness by Dr. Marica, Full Professor in the Department of Redundancy Department. Just heard the first rumble of thunder, but who care about that when there’s a box in the mail to open? Curiously, it was not taped shut. I will comment on that at Amazon.

Rocky is set to alert, as is the weather radio. Everything that’s chargeable– including the chargeable things I use to charge other things– was charged yesterday. Tornado room floor cleared of power tools needed for yesterday’s project. Kitchen clean. Bath towels washed, dried, & put away. Small flashlight (made in USA, I see) in right
That word gets used a lot more than usual this time of year. I have no real evidence for this claim. I’m just offering a hypothesis based on observation: “And then, in an instant, it was gone.” Tornado. I have no idea how to measure an instant, but I do know that one should not
I, for one, am going to readjust what I’d planned to wear the next few days. At times like these, it’s important to consider footwear. Let’s imagine a blustery day in late April. The tornado sirens sound. You and 30-50 others are in a lecture hall at That School Up North. You must quickly and calmly
too much, but our Country Mouse Borrow is sort of Big. There’s a lot of space to patrol. As I was patrolling, I ran into Miss M. and it was the funniest thing. Does it surprise you that we both had flashlights in our hip pockets? There it goes out again. And again. Rocky is

to check the status of the TORNADO room. Yippee. A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TONIGHTINTO EARLY WEDNESDAY AND BRING DAMAGING WINDS TO THE REGION ALONGWITH SOME TORNADOES. DUE TO A RARE COMBINATION OF INTENSE WIND SHEARAND INSTABILITY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR…SOME HIGHER END SEVEREWEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE INCLUDING WIDESPREAD DAMAGING
down the Natchez Trace Parkway between Tupelo and Mathiston. We’ll see some lovely countryside and some of the damage done to it by tornadoes in April, 2011. A few tings before we get going… 1) No commercial vehicles allowed. But recreational vehicles are okay. 2) Speed limit 50mph. But 60mph is okay. 3) Guns are
I bought two more yesterday. $4.63 to the children; $0.32 to the state I love The Palmer Home Thrift Store where every penny I spend except those that go to the Sovereign State of Mississippi goes to The Palmer Home for Children in Columbus, Mississippi. I buy a lot of books there. Palmer Home for Children
15 seconds This popped up to the west and tracked north east, so we didn’t catch any of it, but I bet they did a few miles up the road! As I was on my way to Starkvegas this afternoon, I passed a lot of County and Emergency Management vehicles out and about– I’m guessing
The tornado room is provisioned. The walkie-talkies are set to weather radio, but because redundancy is a good thing, there’s also a battery operated radio. I’ve changed out the phone cords so the land-line phone now reaches the tornado room, a.k.a., the laundry room. All of the prep work means we will not have a
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS AREAS ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE CORRIDOR THROUGH MIDDAY AS A FAST-MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AFFECTS THE ARKLAMISS. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD RANGE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES WILL LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THESE HIGH RAINFALL TOTALS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME SHOULD LEAD
