Re: Weather Check!
Severe thunderstorm watch has expired, but the storms continue with heavy thunder and sharp lightening all about. Anxious little one trailing me. I'm ready for the storms to stop for today!

Re: Weather Check!
The weather people got the storms right, but they missed out on the timing. Sasha is now brave enough to sit on the floor and stare at me, but Merlin has to be in contact with me.Devil in the Blue Dress wrote:Severe thunderstorm watch has expired, but the storms continue with heavy thunder and sharp lightening all about.

Re: Weather Check!
It's one heck of a storm. A real frog ponder. The satellite is a mess. I don't think I will see any more TV for awhile. This has been going on for almost an hour.
Harley may not get his river time tomorrow. It will be pretty rough. He's strong but I don't take chances with him.

Re: Weather Check!
Still coming down here. Our dish is back on, at least.
Merlin is now next to me; Sasha is between my leg and the couch. I walked two miles with my Biggest Loser walking video instead of going to the gym, to keep the dogs relatively sane. So far, so good.

Re: Weather Check!
Sounds like you got what we got a few days ago. Lots of wind damage and flash flooding here.

"Frog ponder"? I've *never* heard that term, but it's excellent - can you explain?Very Duke Blue wrote:It's one heck of a storm. A real frog ponder. The satellite is a mess. I don't think I will see any more TV for awhile. This has been going on for almost an hour.

Glad to see that our rain has migrated Eastward - we've been dry (and even occassionally sunny) for two days now!

Pouring here now, with lots of thunder. I have one dog tucked under each arm, which makes typing just a mite difficult.

Re: Weather Check!
A frog ponder is when the rain is so hard, it "ponds" (beats) the frogs.

It was the frogs "time to go".
Well...if it wasn't, the frogs would not be ponded.

Lordy. This is why I, EarlJam, love fall and winter so much. You can always bundle up, but you can't put on something to cool off, unless it's a trench coat made of ice...........and they don't last very long in the heat.

Re: Weather Check!
There is a limit to what you can take off in public. That is why, when we had season tickets for the Chiefs, our seats were in the shade. We actually had more hot games than cold.EarlJam wrote:Perfect weather for Dashboard Grillin'!DukieInKansas wrote:It is just going to be too hot this weekend. 100 today with a heat index of 110
