mini-muffin Posted May 2, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 2, 2008 Don't ya just love them straight line winds. Just like a tornado going through but everything is blown in the same direction. Not fond of them either. Glad you guys are ok. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted May 2, 2008 Share #4 Posted May 2, 2008 Cindy, Sure glad you and Dale made it threw the storms ok and no one got hurt. Makes for a long night ...wondering if and when.... I noticed in pic #4 that your nighbors lawn chairs are still on his back cement slab...suprised they didnt get blown over or into your yard.. It amazes me during a storm , how one thing is blown apart and yet the item right next to it, or close by, isnt touched.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner Fan Posted May 2, 2008 Share #6 Posted May 2, 2008 Looks like it's heading our way. We might be a bit too far North to get the brunt of the storm. http://weather.yahoo.com/images/east_cen_sat_440x297.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted May 2, 2008 Share #7 Posted May 2, 2008 Dang guess we get it last. Hope it wears itself out. Don't think we need any bad weather around here. VA had 6 tornadoes last week. Thankfully we just got rain down here. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
