Been nice knowing you. Tornadogeddon 2014 has officially started.

[tmc]

Is shakeycam at least okay?

Not vertical.

Be safe.

 

[jaedaliu]

If your power goes out, share your bulk beef with a giant cookout instead of letting it rot.

Stay safe.

Anyway, no work again for me today.

It's kind of annoying since the storms aren't supposed to start until around 6 PM and it's actually quite beautiful outside right now! :\

We may have occasional droughts and a damaging earthquake every now and then, but I'll take that over having to worry about the tornadoes and hurricanes of points east. Extremely high winds and severe storms scare the crap out of me (have relatives in OK and AR and made the mistake of visiting Memorial Day once).

I'll take the little bit of snow and four seasons over the droughts, earthquakes, damaging tornadoes, hurricanes, and wild fires.

Stay safe OP... and I'm hoping to catch up on tornado videos later today. 🙂

I'll take the little bit of snow

lol - a "little bit" of snow? We have an office in Williamsville, NY and have heard the horror stories about being buried (its closed for snow and ice more than once).

I took my work laptop home yesterday when they dismissed us, but I'm currently outside drinking gin & tonics and watching the tomatoes grow.

The only cool part to living up in the great north east is no tornadoes. But everything else, including some of the worst drivers ever.

Yea Pizza, but you still live in NY 🙁

...it has begun! We're getting a little bit of rain, and according to the radar, it looks like we'll get the brunt of it around 10:30-11:30PM.

I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and lived in New York for a while, and it's really not that bad. When you live in a rural area, if you don't learn how to drive in snow, you wouldn't get home if it started snowing. 😛 However, it can really suck if you have to shovel snow by hand... especially if it just keeps falling. My dad always used to make us go out and shovel when it was still snowing, and it seemed rather futile to us at the time. However, when the snow is rather deep, it can be even worse to shovel!

I took my work laptop home yesterday when they dismissed us, but I'm currently outside drinking gin & tonics and watching the tomatoes grow.

I took mine home as well, but ugh... using the laptop always tests my patience. If it isn't the encryption bogging down the laptop (no hardware support!), it's the awful 1366x768 resolution. You pretty much have to hook it up to an external monitor, which gives you a really slow desktop. 😛

The drivers around here are quite scary too! I mean... I can be an assertive driver in my own right, but I see an alarming number of people run red lights. When I say that, I don't mean that they were just a little late on the yellow light, but they were stopped at the red, and decided that they didn't want to wait anymore! 😱

Your list of downsides of living in New York is missing about a thousand lines

 

[ViRGE]

I don't know about that, olds has a new toy he calls the tornado and I'm not feeling very safe.

Olds' basement is a shelter of last resort for a very good reason.😱

Hell, it was my 1st resort...damned tootsie rolls.:$

 

[mmntech]

I'm glad I don't live anywhere where tornadoes are a constant concern. I already live in Toronto, which is bad enough.

As my wife likes to describe me, today was a disappointment. I was expecting something... more.

I think the entire "won't die or lose house/everything from tornadoes/ have a chance to every single year" is about 20,000 "good" reasons.

You don't happen to watch The Weather Channel, by chance?

Had some decent thunder and lightning here in central Ohio, lots of rain, but nothing major.

Tornados in CALIFORNIA!!! AHHHH!

Been nice knowing you all.
