How's the weather?

Campus is surprisingly quiet. I expected something. Nothing. I'm ok with it. Hopefully everyone else is just as safe.

EDIT: Now I see pretty bright lightning to the east. No idea how it just passed over campus without anything. Just a little wind for a minute or two.

Had two seperate storms blow thru Dayton yesterday. The first one around 6, while I was out playing frisbee golf, we heard the tornado sirens going off. Most of us were excited to hear that (I've never heard a tornado siren before that). So we hopped in our cars and headed back Northeast towards Huber Heights while watching we saw two or three funnel clouds starting to form. One of our friends who was with us was ready to cry. It was funny. The sky itself was one of the ugliest colors I've ever seen. Sort of like a greenish brown color. Once we were in Huber, the storm really wasn't bad, just a lot of rain.... AGAIN.

The second storm hit around 12:45 last night, or around the end of the 18th inning of the Reds game :tongue2:. I went outside to watch it. The initial wind was crazy, blowing the rain all over the place. Felt like I was out on the beach getting hit with ocean mist. Once the wind was gone, there was some spectacular lightning strikes across the sky. Gotta admit, it was enjoyable to watch. I just can't understand why people get so scared of storms. It happens, were just bystanders. Then again, we have Newscenter 7 and 2 News preaching about how horrible these storms were going to be, so it's understandable for people to drink the local news' kool-aid. I'm one to turn it to the Weather Channel for more reliable weather outlook, which they were a little more reasonable with the report, rather than saying dumb shit just to get people to watch.

I only get terrified of storms when I think there's a tornado coming at me and I live in the third story of an apartment building with no good shelter.

I loved storms when I had a basement. :p

I've actually driven into storms for the purpose of seeing a funnel cloud/tornado. Stupid, but I've always wanted to see one.

I can see why you would get a little uneasy on the third floor. I'm pumped I got to see a couple funnel clouds leaving Drexel (horrible area, I know). I don't have a basement either (damn Huber designed homes). They were saying on the news to seek shelter, stay inside, yadda yadda yadda... It was rather amusing to say the least, thinking about all the people preparing for "The Perfect Storm" type shit. :lol:

I tend to not even pay attention to the weather media in general unless the storm dropped a tornado just before it reached my area. I just pull up about 3 different weather sites and go straight to the radar/sat. maps and compare it to what I'm seeing outside.

Same. It's really the only way to get truthful outlooks on the weather conditions. I was periodically checking The Weather Channel website before turning it on when they had coverage of the storm itself. Luckily we weren't further south around Tennessee. Things were looking pretty bad down there.

:lol: Yeah, I usually go outside and watch unless it gets out of hand. I was outside watching the lightning and wind from the bad storm we had in Columbus a few days ago until a massive wall of water drenched me immediately. Then I watched from my window. Not as awesome. :(
