I had to unplug my computer at 4 AM this morning, due to a wild storm blowing through.

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Oh, suck it up. We have those every day.

:hide:

Stay safe, Breeze. :hi:

[Breeze54]

3. LOL !

But I don't want to unplug my 'puter right now or my AC! :P

:hi:

[dkofos]

2. Can you send it to Dallas. We could use some rain.

[Breeze54]

4. It's not raining...just thundering and windy...dark skies so far...

But I'd be happy to send you any rain! We've had quite enough lately!!

Thursday we had 5" of rain in a lot of places and flooded roads everywhere in MA.

NH had a really bad tornado, with lots of damaged homes and a woman was killed.

AKK!! Big nasty clap of thunder just now!! The winds are high...tree's bending over...

... it might be raining now... sounds like the road is wet, as the cars are driving by...

:scared: There's another thunder clap... I hate this shit.

It's pouring now to beat the band. Coming down in sheets.

[bluerum]

5. Rain, lightning and thunder in Milford (MA) right now. Very unusual weather this summer.

edit to add (MA) as there is a Milford NH and a Milford Ct.

[Breeze54]

7. All these severe T-Storms, over and over, is weird for July, I think.

I might as well move to Florida with all this constant high humidity. :sarcasm:

That'll never happen! :rofl:

You're not that far from me!! :hi: neighbor! :D

[bluerum]

10. As bad as it is, Florida is worse - for humidity that is. And bugs. And hurricanes.

Hmmm. Kind of makes you appreciate our odd weather this summer doesn't it.

Howdy to you too neighbor!:hi:

[Breeze54]

16. Just realized you're here too!!

:rofl:

:hi:

[Breeze54]

18. Where I am in MA--> Humidity: 94% & FL --> Humidity: 61%

6. we just got back from northampton, getting ice cream...

as we stepped outside, the rain and wind started, and we ran for the parking lot-
the wind was blowing so hard, drips of ice-cream were going sideways with my son yelling:

IT IS DRIPPING AT ME!!!

[Breeze54]

8. Oooo .. I just remembered I have some Orange Sherbert!

Glad you made it to the car!

Tell your son to eat fast! :P

Yeah, it's blowing sort of hard here too and lots of rain and thunder.

:hi:

[Bonobo]

13. Weird!

My wife just got caught in it after getting ice cream in Hadley and driving back to Northampton!

[jakem]

34. must have been one of those cosmic moments for ice cream before the storm...

[Bobcat]

9. Storms

Central Iowa too - for the umpteenth time this summer!

[DFW]

11. I am heading up there on Friday for a much-needed vacation

I hereby order the shitty weather to cease and desist by then.

[Breeze54]

22. You did it !!! - You made it stop !

:rofl:

Thursday Night through Sunday -

Mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of showers.

Lows in the mid 60s. Highs in the lower 80s.

And drier air !!! :woohoo: Hurry home!! :P

:hi:

[DFW]

23. It's a start, anyway

I spend most of my time in Germany and Belgium. I want SUNSHINE!!!!!!

[AllieB]

12. Merrimack Valley checking in

It is getting really old, I agree! It reminds me of Florida. We get a thunderstorm almost every day. Very strange for MA!

I should also add that the mosquitos are the size of small birds as a result of all the rain.

[Atman]

14. It was WILD here last night!

We were sleeping in our yurt when lightning hit right nearby. If you've never been in a yurt (after all, who has?), there is very little sound insulation. You feel like you're right outside in the thick of it. It was a scary night/morning.

And I'm from Cocoa Beach, Florida..."afternoon thunderstorms" are a way of life. But this storm last night was kinda hair-raising.

.

[Breeze54]

15. Hi Atman! What the H is a 'yurt' ? A tent?

You're nuts! :P I would've been in my car or a building or something!

Be careful! :hi: It's quieted down here now. I got off line for a few

because the lightening was really, really close.

[Atman]

17. Well, it's a "tent," but not really.

It's a huge tent with a wooden frame. Ours has gas heat and a kitchen. We had a huge tree branch fall on the roof a few years ago...10 feet long, several inches thick...it just bounced off the roof into the trees. Yurts are awesome. Put it up in 3-4 hours, fits in the back of a pickup truck. Ours has been up for almost eight years now, through gnarly New England winters. Here's a start...the google will bring you more info...

[Breeze54]

19. Cool! I'll keep that in mind... thanks for the explaination and the link!

:hi:

[uppityperson]

25. We've a local yurt companies and I've friends living in them.

interesting, nestingbird yurts now goes to rainier yurts. Ah well. Yurts are cool.

[ccharles000]

20. Be safe

[Breeze54]

21. Thanks, Charles. It's clearing up now...

... still raining but no more thunder that I can hear right now.

I think the worst may have passed but I probably shouldn't say that! :P

The air is cooling some now but up in NH, the storms still look bad on that radar map.

:hi:

[ColbertWatcher]

24. WHERE IS THE DU EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FORUM! Damnit!!

Seriously!?

How many times will there be warnings and no place on DU to go for information!?

[Breeze54]

28. We could use one, actually... but this might do in a pinch...

DU Weather Group
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=328

:P

:hi:

[ColbertWatcher]

30. But we've been trying to get one started in like forever. Earthquakes included. n/t

[Breeze54]

32. Did you ask Earl or Skinner? I think it's a great idea .. a central place

for DUers to go who need information or advice to prepare for bad weather or for help!

There's been so many people having disasters all over the USA and many are members here.

:hi:

[ColbertWatcher]

33. Somebody already has! But I still don't see it! n/t

[PCIntern]

26. We were hit hard in SE PA today...

It was a WOW! experience...sounded like a Civil War Battlefield - third day in a week!

[Breeze54]

27. Drumming thunder !! I was thinking that's what it sounded like here too...

Ba bOOm boom bOOm Ba Da Da... BOOM!!! :scared: :yoiks:

Please don't send anymore here!! :P

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

29. The weather has been bananas lately, eh?

Torrential downpours every other day, crazy lightning, etc. For like 2 weeks now. I was just one the phone with my Ex, and he was telling me about the crazy lightning out in W. MA today. We were in RI, thunder and rain, back in Quincy now, rain, rain, lightning, rain. Bah.

:hi:

[Breeze54]

31. Plymouth is getting pounded and Cape Cod.... It's all stopped here now.

Yeah!! :woohoo:

Give us a break! :D
