Weird Weather

[neonlyte]

We had the huge-est thunderstorm last night... and no rain. It was preceeded by howling wind, a leaden flat sky, and almost black clouds that formed beneath the grey; across to the south it was still golden as the day ended.

Today we've had the oddest winds, swirling sudden winds that materialise from nothing. At times the net curtains have been horizontal across the room, next moment they are flying out across the balcony. But having said that, it's generally calm !!!

Just now a gust blew creating enough negative pressure in my kitchen to open the refrigerator door, I was seasoning a spatchcocked chicken for latter. Watched in disbelief as some of the contents of the refrigerator rolled out and onto the floor!!

And just one final thing... the disasterous tomato crop yielded ONE tomato before the plants died off... they have now decided to grow again... each dead stalk has new growth, with flowers, six inches high.

I think I'm going to place a bet for snow next summer

that sounds reeeeeeeallly weird.

I've had lots of tomatoes on my tomato plants (2) but none have ripened on the plant and it is now defintely dying a death. I've picked off about 20 and we've had 3 ripen on the window sill in the kitchen.

Sounds like you've got ghosts. Supernatural forces at work!

(Don't mind me, we're in the middle of a spooky play.)

Was that an ad-lib? If so I'd advise you to stick to the script

I picked all mine before we moved, and every single one of them ripened! (Hubby was disappointed - he wanted fried green tomatoes! )

That DOES sound like weird, weird weather, Neo. Blame it on global warming.

Wow. That I've never heard of that. I don't even want to think about what area might have been sucked up to let that back down.

It happened in the US in the 1900's as I recall; somewhere in the middle west.

The 'official' explanation was that a huge flock of vultures in flight decided to have a group barf...no one believed it.

And they shouldn't. It was clearly an alien spaceship dumping the the refuse from the experiments.

Really! That makes more sense than a flock of vultures ralphing at once.

There have been other strange 'falls' from the sky...globs of fat...congealed blood...splintered bones...flocks of dead birds...rocks and pebbles...even balls of tar.

An author named Charles Fort chronicled hundreds of these occurances in two books published in the 1960's.
