"OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma - Tuesday's morning commute was interrupted by multiple tornado warnings in the eastern parts of the metro.
The tornado-warned storms cropped up along the line as it made its way northeast through the metro from as south as Lake Thunderbird in Cleveland County and as north as eastern Edmond.
One area of spin-up was spotted near Lake Thunderbird in Cleveland County, and the other was spotted by News 9 StormTrackers Val and Amy Castor near Interstates 44 and 35."

Its raining..which is great really..we need it. I'm ready for winter. Ive been non stop on the projects this year since I could get a post hole digger in the ground. So other than shoveling snow..Im really looking forward to the weather forcing me to stop the outdoor projects for awhile. I have indoor projects I plan to do, small stuff and deep cleaning and any leftover energy will be reserved for gym time.
I have a few bales of hay out for a few goats I didn't tarp well I discovered this am. I don't want my doe getting preggers with the buck yet so her and a buddie are in another field and my tarp tying down job was half a fail. good thing it is only a few bales. they will still eat it but it was my intention to keep a dry meal for them.

We have hurricane Micheal heading for land fall. I don't know if any one else has noticed... but hurricanes have a certain smell. I smell hurricane on the air tonight. It's starting to get breezy. Shouldn't affect me that much, some rain. It's supposed to veer northeast rapidly....

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Still raining.
Tornado sirens went off this afternoon.
Several touchdown near me.
Dealing with flooding too.
Hey, I live in Tornado Alley.

This is getting bad… as of 5am eastern time Michael is a cat 4 and growing. This just got plain ugly… People are going to get bad hurt, hope no one dies.

Clarification… Yes, you can smell a hurricane. Out where the big ones roll the salt air has a peculiar smell. The beach is a watered-down version of that scent.

As a civilian I spent a few years at sea, then I spent 6 years in the Navy. I’m more than familiar with how deep-water air smells, 500 miles from land. Currently, I’m more than 300 miles inland from this storm and the Caribbean Sea… Yet I can smell deep ocean salt air tonight!

Only a big cane can blow salt air this far inland… Prayin’ for those SE of me…

My thoughts are with everyone in the area and hoping they are safe during Hurricane Michael.

 

[timmie]

It's breathing on us . I hope it makes that turn soon. Either way people are going to get hurt or die. Stay safe everybody.

 

[Amish Heart]

I have a cousin I just saw in Kansas that was there for the reunion I just went to. She lives in Panama City. Glad she's still in Kansas.

 

[timmie]

Peanut, hope you are alright. Right now all we are getting some beneficial rain.

I never heard that but don't doubt it at all, very interesting thanks! I bet its the same sense of... smell radar (?) like when it smells like snow is comming

The winds are getting stronger and the internet is going in and out. stay safe.

I never got a single drop of rain from Micheal, it's rains got within 10 miles but not here. It's moving away now. I have a front an hour west of me heading this way... probably get a shower from it before dark.

 

[Weedygarden]

I hope everyone is safe. I heard on the news that this is supposed to one of the worst hurricanes in a very long time. Meerkat, how are you?

 

[Weedygarden]

I saw my first snow today that I have seen in months. It was 90+ degrees in April. I don't think I have ever been so happy to see it snow in my whole life. Of course, where I am at, there is not much sticking. It is melting as it hits the ground. Currently 37 degrees here.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Hope everyone is safe.
Finally stopped raining for awhile today.
Wind has picked up and it's chilly.
Currently 56* but with wind out of north east feels about 45*.

 

[Bacpacker]

Been tracking the hurricane the last couple days. Looks like northwest Fl got hammered. Prayers out for all those affected. We're gonna be heading to the other side of the state before long, don't look like they got hit as bad there.

 

[Amish Heart]

Saw the snow today, too!

 

[user 55]

Any word from @Meerkat ? Think she is down in the storm zone.

 

[Peanut]

I think @Meerkat is on the east coast of FL but there are 100's of thousands without power even if not in the path of the storm.

 

[Hooch]

first snow on the mountains around here happened last Friday. It all stuck and more has been added with the little bit of precip we had. Today and next few days are forcast to be sunny but cool . Fine hot spring and hot wood stove weather.
I'm looking forward to hear from Meerkat to get the downlow..hope she is ok too

 

[Peanut]

I was wrong... I remembered a post Meerkat made about camping and fishing.

Fishing In Rivers, Lakes and Bays

Discussion in 'Hunting, Fishing, Trapping' started by Meerkat, Apr 1, 2018.


"We use to go here and camp with the kids and grandkids and couple years ago great grandkids. It is a nice little place in the woods on river and springs."

The place...

https://www.ellieraysrvresort.com/

It's on the Suwannee River, near a town named Bradford Fl. Draw a line from Jacksonville FL to Tallahassee Fl, about halfway... then down about 40 miles. That's where she used to take the kids, grandkids etc.

If you take the kids fishing you don't drive 2 hours, maybe 30 or 40 minutes... That puts Meerkat out of the Hurricane Michael blast zone but she probably got heavy rains... might be without power.

Maybe she will log in soon.

 

[Patchouli]

I found a map that shows power outages in Florida with county lines on it, but not being certain of where she lives...
She's resourceful, keep on praying for them.
We're going to have rain for the next 10 days I think. Raining now, chilly to me. 60s.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Wind ENE 3 mph
90% chance of rain

Barmetric pressure 30.05

We got 3/4" of rain last night. It is so nice to turn off the A/C and the sprinklers on the same day. My rain barrels are full, my trees are getting a good soaking, the new grass seed is popping up in the lawn. I couldn't be happier.

 

[jimLE]

We have a severe storm moving in. That includes, tornado warning's, tornado watches, to thunderstorm warnings/watches.

Meerkat liked my post last night about 8pm. She's probably viewing the forum from a phone but can't post.

She actually posted at least once. She is recovering from hand surgery but all was fine from the hurricane for them.
