10-15 Min ago I get home and it's sunny. Now all hell has broken loose. It's pouring, and there's thunder and lightning. And I was going to BBQ tonight!:brokenheart:

I wish a I had a video camera, so I could tape my cats freaking out (I opened the windows when I got home) There's thunder cracking right overhead it seems, and the cat's tails are fluffed out to about 4" across.

Just passed through Portland like 15 minutes ago.

Matt Zafino on NBC channel 8 says the storm travels about 5 MPH.

If you watch the news, you'd see that the weather is supposed to be thunder and lightning all night tonight. I keep losing power to this PC -however, it's on a power strip along with other PCs and equipment that doesn't lose power :laugh:

It seems to have skimmed to the south of Pumpkin Ridge (hills to the west of the West Hills). I saw lightning to the West earlier, but it has now moved to the East, and hasn't rained on me yet.

The storm has long passed Portland. If it were still here and very active I would unplug it from the wall and use the battery.

Yes a new laptop would be nice but the warranty on this doesn't expire until September 2004 :)

meh...if you want to see weather changes move to Michigan.

We have a saying around here, "If you dont like the weather, wait 5 minutes."

Todays high was near 80, the low was in the forties. We had sunshine and storms within 5 minutes of each other. And everyone around here wonders why they are sick.
