It's never been so dark outside, but the storm isn't even NEAR us yet. Time to shift my caseload to tomorrow so I can stare out the window!

The website of every TV station in town is pretty bogged down right now - I think everyone's looking at the same pictures I'm looking at...

A *little* pea-sized hail, plenty of THUNDER! but all in all not sustained enough to write home about. Of course, I AM writing HERE, so it warn't NOTHIN'. ;-)
Severe weather is GREAT... when you don't have to be anywhere for a few hours...

| #6 Posted on 20.6.05 1436.51 | Instant Rating: 3.77 | The storm hit here in St. Cloud about 12:15. Luckily I was able to make it home in time to batten down the hatches before the shit hit the fan. (and get my truck in the garage) before the rain hit, THEN quarter sized hail for 15 minutes. My front lawn was STILL white when I left to come back to work. And yes, it WAS dark out. Luckily, we didn't get the tornadic activity they got and hour and a half NW of here.

The most menacing weather related thing I've seen since being in Seattle was the earthquake off the coast last Tuesday that gave us a whole bunch of "Tsunami Watch-no wait, it's a WARNING-oops, it's been downgraded to a Tsunami Bulletin. Our bad" reports all night.

Aw, come on! You're not giving enough credit to our annual "foot of snow in three days-foot of snow in two days-foot of snow tomorrow-hoo boy we're lucky we only got a dusting everyone take the next two days off"-blizzard forecasts and our semi-annual "80 mph-winds tonight"-storm that turns into "35 mph gusts and a tree down at Greenlake".

Damn, Z. Those maps make it look like your whole state is exploding.
Meanwhile, it's a toasty 76c degrees here at my brand new job in Gardena, CA & it is a certified OVEN in my car. Who's dumbass idea was it to wear long sleeves & a tie to my first day while everyone else is wearing jeans & t-shirts??
