our family seems to attract tornadoes somehow.

It's your carbon footprint - it's WAY above average.

Thanks for the excellent moving map so we can see what areas are affected. It looks terrible—I’m sending up prayers for all in the affected areas.

Ya got a point there, sarge.

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades!

So far, so good . . . we've gotten in the closet under the stairs a couple of times. Once my husband grabbed one of the cats, she scratched him, and he said, "You're on your own, kid," and tossed her out of the closet!

I think our carbon footprint is so large, it's causing a massive rising column of warm air, making the tornadoes swerve away at the last minute.

Or maybe that's just the City of Atlanta.

Note the forward speed of these cells - 50-60 mph.
Any freepers in the Atlanta area should be paying very close attention about now. These will also bring very strong straight winds.

Pitch black dark here now, 2 1/2 hours before sunset. Thunder, big drops of rain.

How am I going to tell the "freight train" sound of a tornado from the trains on the main CSX line one block away? < g >

Thanks for the 411.

I do like weatherunderground. Wish they’d make a plugin for Firefox on Linux.
