Wild Weather

Post by King_Nothing »

The past weekend, we had 4 severe thunderstorms over 4 days, providing some awesome entertainment!
Check out this video of a tornado that struck a small town not too far from where I live

How is the weather where you are this summer??

That's quite scary. I'm happy we don't have those things around here.

Nothing but rain and I mean rain. We have had severe flooding in a lot of areas and there is more heavy rain to come over the week end. On Monday we had a months worth of rain in one day and we're talking a winter month. In some places the water is 3 feet deep.

Like Bob Garage, Angelicupstart and Simo I live in one of those places that have been issued a severe weather warning, Shropshire. In some places as Metmum says there is over three feet over water (for all the really younger members - thats a metre! :) ) There have been some serious flooding in and around the towns that are local to me and I know that over the weekend it is supposed to be getting wet again (As I write this it is pissing down again!)

Some members of my family and a few friends have had mild flooding, but so far I have managed to escape it, although I do live at the top of a hill and I know that if my house gets flooded 99% of Telford will need rescuing by submarine!

I think at this time I would like to go back to Vegas where there wasn't a single cloud in the sky for a week :D ...maybe next year

Yeah Snow I live on top of a hill and we hadn't released how bad it was until we turned on the news. There are some areas around flooded but not too badly, there not near rivers so its just been the amount of water flowing down to them. Rather unlike the worst hit places which seem to be near rivers.

We have a severe weather warning for the weekend which is making my job harder.
People naturally panic at the firdt sign of bad weather and as i am a checkout supervisor at Tescos it mean everyone has been in bulk buying like its the end off the world. Friday night surrounded by fuckwit customers isn't my idea of fun.
Also if anyone knows any polish swear words pls pm me - i am sick of being sworn at in polish by customers!!

It was pissing rain here (in London) this morning but its kinda half sunny, half overcast now. Hope it clears up later because I need to go to the Post Office to pick up my Wembley ticket. The weather in Ireland was good during the week. It didn't rain once. Wasn't especially sunny either though..

In Hull, we were flooded a bit, which hasn't happened in a long while, usually not much happens here, good or bad. A lot of major roads were closed. I was on holiday so missed seeing it unfortunately, but it would have been a nice sight!

Too much rain it seems lol. And now there is another Terror scare in London. WTF is going on?

It is finally nice out here today in Winnipeg, so I just hope the damn mosquitoes and mutant sized flies will stay away from me!
