[crankychatter]

Shame on YOU, Barack Obama!!

1. Hoping it will move in the direction of the WH.

[blonndee]

2. Appropriate metaphor!

Seriously, stay safe, DC DUers.

3. On a serious matter, isn't DC OUTSIDE tornado Alley?

smart, attentive DU'ers will notice that we have had several OUTSIDE tornado alley already

[TooRaLoo]

4. I have noticed, because I grew up in Tornado Alley.

The weather has been nutso and is getting more and more erratic all over the world.

11. oh sure, turn this silly post into a relevant discussion

harumph and tut tut

15. I am the guilty party on this

Sorry, I pay attention to these things

14. I know... my mom lives in Mexico City

people are wearing shorts in Mexico City in April since it is that freaking hot!

It was never like that

Looking outside my window, it is June, and it looks like winter weather in San Diego

5. It is very unusual for the D.C. area....

however over the last 100 years, almost all of the 50 states
have had reports of tornadoes at one time or another. 

I do wonder however, if the talking heads on MSNBC have ever
been in a storm. Am waiting at any moment for them all to dive
under their desks.

7. welcome to DU

fun point... insulated beltway pundits and the "wise of the wise" diving under their desks, peeing themselves...

17. Thanks for the welcome

Have been watching DU for several weeks now and finally
desided to take the plunge. Being a recovering Republican,
it's been of great interest watching the back and forth of
people who are truly passionate about their beliefs instead of
just spouting party gibberish.

18. Welcome to DU ccountz

Hope to see lots of posts from you.

12. Thanks for trying but this is part of what was predicted

by global warming

I could give you other examples of weird weather, again predicted by the science

In and OUT the US.

But thanks

6. Actually, I'm just a few miles outsude the center of DC right now, and

I can honestly say I haven't heard such loud thunder in the decade or so I've been here as I'm hearing now. Even Noah didn't see this sort of rain.

8. lightning surges can fry your hard drive, surge protector or not

you might want to unplug till it passes...

oh, and have a plan... if ya'all don't have a good siren system like we down here in Kansas...

turn on the TV to local news for warnings and have a plan

be safe

[Mutley]

9. Yeah those are heading toward me on the MD eastern shore.
