richieb Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The early spring, very warm weather is already spawning tornados around the KC area. Several already on the ground but close to us, yet. The line is here around 7:15. And yeah, the weather folks are like a junior high football team in their first game of the year. The "mobile weather center" is on the road gathering needed information. The latest is hail the size of, yeah I'm not kidding, garbanzo beans. And if none of you have ever experienced this when the sun goes down, it gets dark. All kidding aside I think early warm weather will make for rough weather in the Midwest this spring. It was 76 today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 We have these things called tornado sirens mounted on telephone poles. They scare the tornados away I think. Sometimes they go off 30 minutes after the bad weather passes. Sometimes they don't go off. Nowhere to hide anyway. We never had them in the old days. I don't know how we survived. But if I lived in Kansas I would definitely have a cement room somewhere. JJK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 We got lucky - the news just showed hail a bit larger than baseball about 5 miles from us. We got a bit of pea size, not so bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Stay safe, tornadoes are no joke along with high winds. We are expecting that line of storms around midnight. The winds are already picking up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Of, course we have siren warning too and they are usually spot on. When they sound off its best to start paring close attention to what's shaping up around you. Of course that means most men are standing in their driveways trying to catch a visual. Seeing a twister on its way - beat a path to the basement bunker. I will never forget a tornado that virtually wiped out the state capital, Topeka. With our neighbors we piled in the car to see for ourselves and yeah when there's a direct hit its bad, real bad. There was nothing left. Except, and I never forget this bit of levity, a neighborhood is gone but the toilets are still there. So we joked when a twister is bearing down hit the bathroom, take a seat and ride the bittch out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The History Kid Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 On the road with the team right now. We're heading to Iowa City then following the line back into the Quad Cities. Severe Thunderstorm Warning in Iowa City just now, so we're booking it double time to beat it through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I woke up to 2" of snow. Rare for Portland, OR in March, but not necessarily severe. Last month we broke every record for rain... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
