Scary storm

[Highway Star]

When I used to live in Ohio, the worst microburst I've ever experienced passed through my neck of the woods. It was a violent wicked thunderstorm, with high winds 70+ and sideways driving rain. Before it really started up, you could feel it, I guess kind of like animals can feel a storm. Knocked down trees, blew down sheds and roofs, and powerlines, etc. That was nuts. The brids were chirping 15 minutes later. Think you guys had a microburst up there?

I have to say though, nothing compares to the hurricanes around here...for me personally. I like the study and observation of weather. Wow. Sustained 80 mph winds for 6 or 7 hours from the east, then the eye of the storm, then 80 mph sustained winds from the west for 6-7 hours as the other side of the storm passed over. Right at my house. Holy crap.

They said on the weather this morning it was some kind of front, don't remember the name, that only happens every 5 years or so. Straight line winds can get up to 100 mph, I don't think that happened yesterday but it was nasty.

Still no power.

Well, latest update is we'll get power between 11:30 tomorrow night and 1:30 Monday morning. Had to go fill 3 gas cans today, borrowed one from the neighbor across the street, of course they have power. Gas for mower and gas to keep thie generator running. Generators are great but they're not cheap to run.
