Midwest Bad Weather
So who's enjoying this bad midwest weather? It's sure made for a fun 4th of July weekend! :D Started with nice weather, then to straightline winds (near tornado), with trees, limbs, leaves, and powerlines down all over the place. Then to top it off RAIN! :) and lots of it. When I woke up at 8:45am today to go to work the news said 9.5 inches here in Kokomo and I hear it's supposed to rain for the next few days. To top off the rain we get flooding everywhere. Last night my brother and a friend got 2 cars stuck in water in a neighborhood. One of them was an SUV w/ 4x4. Oh well, it's sure been fun and work called and I don't have to work today...
So how's the weather everywhere else? |
Haha - we didn't get anything near that rain. We got some winds and a little rain.
Betcha' that the SUV that got stuck wasn't a Jeep! :D |
Yeah I tried to go to work today, but the creek at the exit to my neighborhood overtook the road and was more of a raging river rapid....I saw a Dodge Caravan float down that raging river :p
Also, our main park which is a few feet under sea level has been completely overtaken by water....no way im going out to take a pic, but it is an incredible sight So I called work and they said dont worry about coming in today :D |

Its apparently been raining here, but I've been sleeping...its clear now so yay :D
|
We had some nice almost straight line winds here yesterday, and just after it passed my house, they issued the severe thunderstorm warning. The pond behind my house was up about a foot, but we didn't get as much rain as Kokomo.

Up Here...
a bit north of Detroit, we had a storm blow through yesterday afternoon that caused parts of town to lose power. For example, I work nights at Hollywood Video here, and Blockbuster was in the area that lost power, so we had a bit more business than usual, and a LOT(almost 30) new members...

It's beautiful today in Appleton :) Nice, clear skies, little humidity, not too hot, a little breezy ... perfect! The last few days it has been kind of stormy, though usually at night. I like the weather we're having now.

|
GAH!... it's probably headed right for me!
.... hopefully no more parks being washed out for you mid-west folk! ;) |

-------------- This picture was taken by me this morning at a creek at the entrance to my neighborhood. Its a tiny creek, more of a 8 foot deep ditch that usually has about 6-12 inches of water at most. http://www.theforumisdown.com/upload...0103/whirl.jpg apparently clicking the link doesnt work, copy and paste the link into a new browser |
I was in Kokomo last night to visit my uncles new house and they had a pretty nasty storm that afternoon. Winds were around 60mph + and i saw a tree fall down across the street when i was standing outside in the garage. In Indy we got some wind and some rain, but it wasnt as bad as you guys did in K-town.

I should of stayed quiet... I cursed myself.. I had to grab my shoes and run and hide... the wind is very high here now.. and it's pouring. Oh well, maybe the town will flood.. and I won't have to work tomorrow. :D
