Oh, MAN! That's one obs I never had to write.
I just noticed this:
Our Data Center provider, Equinix, is currently down due to weather conditions in the Washington D.C. area. This is affecting the news.giganews.com cluster
Just talked to my best friend, who's living in my house in Stafford. They had to hunker down at her brother's to wait for one to clear out by the courthouse, and they are now home and heading for the basement. They should be fine as long as they stay there.
Fingers crossed.
prayers are needed. we from the midwest understand all too well the devastation that tornados can wreak. God bless.
Tornado damage on RT 704 between Hughesville and Hamilton in Loudoun County. Many trees and wires down. Road is shut down. Hugh amount of damage.
These are sure Interesting Times
Stay away from the windows. If your building has a basement go there. If not, I used to go to an interior stairwell when I worked in a highrise in downtown Dallas. Stairwells usually are reinforced with concrete and steel and have no windows.
Put some sturdy shoes on no matter what. This was one thing I never really thought about until a tornado damaged a friends home and they had to walk around on broken glass in bare feet.
Weather dog earning his keep today I can see. As fast as he can take, code and disseminate...
