Yikes Y'all! Deadly Storms in the South

[3113]

From here:

Strong storms hit the country's South leading to the death of at least seven people in Alabama. Added to the earlier reports of deaths in Arkansas and Oklahoma, the two-day toll stood at 17, making it the country's deadliest storm of the season. There are "reports of more than one hundred possible tornadoes across the South on Saturday," reports CNN. The Associated Press notes that forecasters had warned of the danger, but the strong winds and lightning strikes "cut a path of destruction across a region so accustomed to violent weather that many people ignored the risk — or slept through it."

Y'all okay there in the South? Please check in!

High winds and rain in central Virginia.

And people ask why I'm not afraid of earthquakes or wildfires . . .

Hope you're all okay, folks.

well, yes, you'd think that if he was going to steal someone's graph and repost it, it would have been smart enough to include the key to the colors. (duh)

74F and dark here on the Treasure Coast...no bad weather in sight. We could use some rain, but no tornadoes please.

What's the fun in that? First person to figure it out sans key wins! (No cheating now!).

Y'all ever wonder why the Bible Belt and Tornado Alley seem to overlap? It might not be that much of a coincidence folks!
ATX was beautiful today! High in the low 80's, not a cloud to be seen in the clear blue sky, only a touch of drought and a red-flag warning for possible wild-fires, 'cause we haven't had much in the way of precipitation for the last month or so, but otherwise, as nice a Spring day as one could want.
Then again, other parts of the region have been getting hammered.
Oh Lordy! I do so love living on this part of the planet!

We got a bit of hail down here in TX the other night. The sirens went off, too, but fortunately we didn't have any tornadoes. After the rain died down, I ran out and took a pic of the hail. I'd say it was about dime or nickle size. Gotta love Texas springtime.

I'm fine...we just had lots of noise and a ton of rain.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Oh, good. I was starting to wonder . . .

One thing about Texas's weather, if you don't like it at any time, just wait five minutes and it will change. Usually for the worse.

We had a little rain and that was about it. Woke me up for a minute and.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

It wasn't as quiet in Central Virginia as I had thought. Two tornados touched down on the other side of the Blue Ridge Mountains from me--and three dead there in flooding.
