Ugly Storms

I'm a little concerned about the possible tornado they believe may happen with this weather.  Let's hope it's just a lot of rain instead.

Re: Ugly Storms

  • I actually quite love storms.  Tornados would not be good though.  At least I get to be safe at home today... too bad the reason I'm at home is because Peyton has croup!  It looks like a stormy day out, that's for sure.  At least it will be warm?

  • Sorry to hear about Peyton!!  I hope she feels better soon.

    I love storms, and would one day like to chase a tornado, so if it's gonna happen, I would rather be awake and have it happen during the day, and not while I am sleeping.

  • I love storms. I sometimes watch the storm chaser shows and one day I got sucked into a marathon and watched it for 6-7 hours I think.

    That being said I like them when they don't destroy homes and businesses.

  • I don't need to deal with a tornado... we don't have a first floor (it is literally and elevator and a stairwell landing in a glass enclosure because we are up on stilts) and our tornado evacuation plan for the building is to run across the parking lot to the giant building and hide in there.  This building would get ripped off the foundation in half a second and go flying!

  • I love thunderstorms but our poor dog is terrified of thunder/lightening so I really hope the storms aren't as bad as they are predicting. Tornadoes scare me so I'm hoping those stay far far away.

    Agreed. I wanted to be a storm chaser when I was a kid. I had so many tornado/storm documentary books & vhs, it was ridiculous.

    I still love them, I just hate the destruction they often cause.

    Uh, that does not sound like a very good evacuation plan!  For your sake, I am hoping for no tornadoes!

  • i love a good storm... during the day when i'm safe & sound and not when i'm home alone w/o DH. 

    How ironic, I just watched Twister last night on TV.  I do love storm chaser shows, but could never imagine doing that.  I used to sit in our basement at my parents(walkout) and watch them. 

    I certainly hope we don't get too bad of a storm... bad storms = LOTS of work for us in the insurance industry!

  • NO, NO, NO, NO!!! I am terrified of storms, specifically the storm systems that can spawn tornados. I really do not need this extra stress Crying

    However, I think it would be neat to be one of those back trucks chasing storms. Not the main guys, the one that watch out and keep track of the radar.

  • I don't really care about storms.  The possible tornado concerns me though just because the puppies are at home by themselves.

  • Guys!  Its sunny at my house!  Did we miss the storms?  Or are they supposed to come later?

    I'm thinking maybe later because it's sunny here too.

  • Yes I love the forecasting here. We were threatened with treacherous thunderstorms all day during the 7am broadcast, but now it's noon and sunny? WTH Michigan??? Not complaining about the sun. And I didn't hear anything about tornadoes either...

  • I love a good storm.  As long as it doesn't cause any damage, bring it on!

  • When are these alleged tornadoes expected? Considering I'm not supposed to do stairs, I better get started on them now.  It might take me three hours to get down there. Indifferent

  • It's "suppose" to get ugly around 4 or 5 - but we'll see.  I'm really hoping they're wrong on this one.
