Weather-what Weather?? - Kurt - 06-30-2014
Must have a blow go through last night
Been with out powder now for 16 hours. The House is so tight with brick walls and a lot of insulation in the attic that I didn't hear a thing. I just went to town to get some gas for the Gen and a 1/4 mile from home trees are down and the power crew is setting new poles. The Corn field has a road going through it. Mor bad stuff coming 
maybe I better sleep in the basement and keep the hearing aids plugged in

Stay safe! Mother Nature has no concept of mercy.

This has always been a tornado ally through here. We build here on this hill in 1974 and the year before we build a tornado crossed this hill and took out one of the three trees growing here. since than I have watched 4 inside a mile from us and one four miles away that tore up the town and I watched several fingers dancing around in the sky but never touched down.
Now we have trees all around our ten acres 60+ feet high and cant see past 140 yards in all directions anymore.
But it's very peaceful.

Stay safe, we're getting some cooler temps and wind today.

Don right now it's raining so hard it looks like fog
RE: Weather-what Weather?? - Don McDowell - 06-30-2014
It can do that here in a few days (providing the equipment be nice)

NWS says theres a tornado watch 'till 1AM for us. Put the rifles in the safe, pulled that new truck in the car-port and finished my bowl of ice-cream. Time to go to bed.

I don't mind the rain, it's the straight line winds here that cause all the problems. I was mowing a pasture a couple of weeks ago when a small storm blew through. A micro burst snapped a 12" diameter, 50' tall pine off roughly 15' above the ground about fifty yards from where I was.
That's the fourth tree we've had blown down or snapped off this spring.

I was hunting the Routt National Forest Wilderness one year and we where up 10,000 feet and it got quite breezy as the sun came up. I was setup by a pond of water about 200 yards away with a large pine for a back rest and by about 10 AM a large blast of wind came up and snapped off two brown needled pines one to my left and a few seconds later one to my right that made me a little nervous
