Ack! Tornado(s)

LOL True.....and just hope they don't spin and head your way...

Up here in NW Ohio we got some thunderstorms today. It's rare for February but does happen occasionally in the winter. Good chance of rain tomorrow too., followed by cold overnight.

Perfect conditions for black ice on the roads.

ugh...Black ice. I know what that is..

We had black ice in Vermont one night --- it took me over three hours to drive to work because nobody would dare top about 15 mph on I-5... it was a radio station and the guy I was relieving had to stay until I got there. When I did, he couldn't leave. The parking lot was perfectly flat and his truck just wouldn't move. Just spun its wheels in place. He made a bed under some studio control board and went to sleep.

It's insidious, that stuff. When the temp is around freezing I watch my car thermometer constantly..

ugh That stuff is scary. Even in patches. You can hit it and never knew it was there...until..

Usually the car in front of me lets me know.

Yep, you watch their brake lights come on and see them spin out of your way.

Play a li'l game of "predict-a-roll"....

The first 2 pics I posted, no, those aren't near me...but a tornado is a tornado. It is still just pouring rain, and thunder all along, but I think the worst has passed...

Well apparently you still have internets. 'Round my way the internet goes off if a mosquito sneezes in Madagascar.

I recall a twister that went through Tuscaloosa a few years back, right along 59. Saw the aftermath as I drove.

"If a mosquito sneezes in Madagascar". Great line.
