At the cabin last night.
58 outside and inside at wake up. Light rain all night long, Best night sleep in a while! I did have to shove the dog over once. He’s a cuddler.

The weather was nice… yesterday. Today it’s going to be cold with a strong wind from the north. Sigh… almost done with April showers!. Bring in the May flowers!
76 F here forecast today. This morning it was 58, already 64 now. yesterday was 65 or so and I got sweaty... Sure do appreciate being done (hand)splitting wood!
We had 44 this morning with rain before coffee, the last I looked it was 44.4 but the rain stopped.
I stayed at the cabin last night to try to get work done today. It was cold, cloudy, and rainy this morning, up until around noon. It severely limited what I can do. As I needed things dry. I probably won't be able to get to work on things for another few weeks. I more than a bit bummed out.
One of the guys on a woodworking board I’m on had multiple tornadoes skirt 4-5 miles from his house. The pics were scary. I can’t imagine being there.
That stinks...
I wonder what the probability is of having one's home hit by an f3 or higher per year in tornado OK or NE...

I have seen numbers for sulfur yet but the Greensburg tornado is about as bad as it gets.

I was in the air flying over this storm. Never seen so much lightning.
The worst storm I ever saw/drove through was on my way to Badlands NP. It could be seen for hours as I drove toward it. When I finally hit it I couldn’t see going 20mph.
It looks like starting this Tuesday we could get some gusty winds with some some hail, Wednesday will remain very warm and humid with sunshine and some clouds; watch for a strong thunderstorm in the afternoon; thunderstorms can bring hail and damaging winds.

I watched a live stream YouTube “storm chaser” cover the Houston storm from his home. It was clear that storm was in a class of its own.
If you still had a windshield to see out of that would bad but not terrible. The hale damage I’ve seen in the high plains can be astounding. Hail so large it smashed through roofs
That is, if the windshield hold up. It's an easy way to give your car or truck a ball peen finish.
I can only imagine that! I’ve seen really bad hail in Houston, I think it was like 6@ deep, but it was small and melted quickly.I watched a live stream YouTube “storm chaser” cover the Houston storm from his home. It was clear that storm was in a class of its own.

It was just really bad rain in the Dakotas.

We had a hail storm that had grapefruit sized hail. Punched holes in roofs and through ceilings. Now the house probably only had 6 holes but the craters those stones made were something. Cars were totaled when roofs were buckled. Now at least we weren’t this woman…

I’m going to ignore all of these for another month!! I know it’s not good news.
Yes. These things do make me nervous a bit. I don't like being in a place where my home can blow away...

I watched it. Forecasted accumulated cyclone energy ACE should get everyone’s attention!! At least we get some warning. My basement slab is 21.5’ above MSL and I have a creek in my backyard.

Water temps in the Atlantic and Gulf are high. I hope the big one doesn't hit North Carolina. NOAA's 2024 hurricane forecast comes out later this week. The CSU forecast came out last month.
