I really HATE tornados.

[nikkiARNGwife]

Have I mentioned that before

[MamaBee]

Ugh! I saw them in your area... {{Hugs}}!!! I hate them, too.

[nikkiARNGwife]

Yes..we've been under a watch all day but they're starting to fire up now. And of course DH is gone and I'm here with the kids. If we just had someplace to go so that I felt safe it wouldn't be so bad...I hate huddling in the bathroom

[scrappinsweetie]

hugs girl. i hate them too. we live in tornado alley and it sucks big time! the one that took out greensburg, ks came right over our house but did not touch down! then a month later we lost it to a fire. i hear ya though, they are nasty and scary! stay safe!!

[mummytothree]

So sorry Nikki!!! We had some a few weeks ago and I was a freaking nervous wreck!! My hubby was about an hour away from home at work and I was calling him and he's like "I'm driving home and it's fine here...nice and sunny"...... and then later when he got home he showed me this picture that he took while driving home of what was REALLY happening!!!



I'll be saying some extra prayers for you all tonight Nikki!!!!

[StephanieLH]

I think almost all of MS is under a watch.. most of North and Central but its getting dark and blowy here in the south. Boy scouts is planning to play kick ball out in an open field. They just left. Hope the weather stays away.

[StephanieLH]

wow that is one scary picture... especially when you are headed towards it. Stay safe all.

[nikkiARNGwife]

Holy Moly Elizabeth! That would have freaked me out!!

I think it's finally calming down for us I hope. I swear I need some anxiety pills or something just to take when it's bad weather lol

[scrappinsweetie]

eeeks, no wonder he lied to you till he got home! now, i will admit that i actually like tornado chasing, yes i know i am crazy. i hate it when they get close to homes though. then it is not interesting at all, but if they are in the open the i find them fascinating.

[MamaBee]

wow... Elizabeth - that is some photo! I told my hubby what you wrote and he said, "smart man... I would have said the same to you!"

I really don't like this time of year...

[jessica31876]

we had some really bad weather a week ago. There were no defenite tornadoes spotted in our area but I think there was a small one that went through. There were alot of trees down and tons of large branches. Plus the winds were so strong it almost ripped our back door off. Then there was loads of hail. More hail then Ive ever seen in my life. It was between dime sized and golf ball sized. Having more of the same tomorrow from about 10-4 according to the weatherman. Hope yours has cleared up!! I know I dont do well in storms at all.

[melrio]

Love livin' in Tornado Alley....keeps things a little lively around here! NOT! Started my Monday morning under the gun but...WOW, the cool air now is COLD! LOL It's that time of year, I suppose.

[BrattyMeg]

you sent your bad weather to us :0/ all of North Ga is in watches and severe weather warnings

[digideb]

Yep, it's headed our way now! Should be hittin us soon! Glad y'all are safe!
& HOLY CRAP, E! That's insane! I've seen one before, but no pictures.

[manderin oranges]

ugh I hear ya girls .. my entire town (population approx 3,ooo) was ripped up by an EF4 last June ... was completely devastating ... Now that its spring time, most of us are starting again to dig through the rubble and try to piece it back together ... Stay safe!

[neenee]

So scary! Hope you are all safe and sound! I can't imagine the anxiety I would have!

[heathergw]

EEK! I hate this season too... like you Nikki, I hate that we don't have a basement we can go hang out in and have to hang out in the bathroom.

Um... Elizabeth, that's an amazing picture and yeah, no wonder he lied to you... though I'd probably be mad at him for lying after the fact.

[Leontine78]

I am so glad that we don't have tornados here....
That's a pretty scary picture!

How was your weather last night Deb? It got baaad here around midnight-1am I guess...I couldn't sleep with the hail hitting the windows. It was soooo loud. LOTS of tree branches and debris scattered about the lawns and street this am but doesn't look like anything too bad. Was just an awful storm here pretty much.

[HeatherKS]

Ick. Me too. I'm so not ready for this time of year and the weather it brings.

[deepounds]

Glad everyone is safe . . . tornadoes are very scary! My home town has been hit dozens of times - once when over 40 people were killed, and I've lived in Tornado Alley most of my life. Although I like the weather that accompanies them (I LOVE thunderstorms!!), I still have a serious fear of the tornado part!

[kresta]

Nikki, those storms were pretty bad. I always know when you get them that we'll get them about 8-10 hours later, depending on how fast they're moving. Thankfully (for us), they usually lose a little bit of power before getting here. But the ones last night were loud and strong.

[NeverendingJen]

it hit us pretty bad. Hail, sheets of rain, bad thunder and lightning, etc. We were under a tornado watch for several hours, I was scared the sirens would go off :/ I do not want to deal with tornados right now!

[nikkiARNGwife]

There were a couple of touchdowns close to here and 1 person killed a couple of counties over. The straight line winds with this round of storms was awful too...we had a few trees down in our side yard and lots of limbs and debris. I think the worst went just south of us though.
