Title: Bad weather
Post by: Mysterious F. on July 02, 2006, 01:54:58 PM
At 3:50 PM PA time on July 2nd, 2006, it was the perfect summer day. Now it's horrible. At about 4:10 it began to storm like crazy. Lightning, thunder, rain, hail, it all began in minutes. The damage is bad. Someone's tree fell down. A small usually 7 invh crrek s about 3-4 feet deep. The sides of the roads are covered with at least an inch of water. Gardens are destroyed. Sirens began going off right after the storm left. It's like Katrina. My house is on a hill, so we're safe from small floods.

I must ask where this storm is.

We had a storm today but it wasn't like 2 weeks ago.

I'm in Fayette county in southwest Pennsylvania. Oh yeah, here are extras to the storm: One entire tree fell over, while several parts of several other trees fell off onto the roads. A piece of our neighbor's roof fell into our yard! It wasn't pretty.

Well, not too long ago (maybe a couple months ago), we had this major wind come by where I live. I'm telling you, it was as if a tornado were coming by, but I think it was actually a gust front or gustnado. Trees were coming down, man!

And, ZV, I pity you about the tornado thing. A downside to being in Tornado Alley, eh? :-X
