Flying trucks!





Can we have a Fragile Earth type forum please to cover things like extreme weather, EQ's, volcanoes etc?

Good idea.

Re. the flying trucks: holy feck!!

That's crazy. Those trucks look so surreal.

Scary stuff. Awful for the people affected by it.

Here's the vid of those flying trucks!



And here's storm chasers footage and helicopter footage of damage



no doubt about it I would have been a storm chaser if I had been born in the US.

I know Loudmouth is not in this area...but anyone know where Batou is located 'cos this storm is heading north?

thanks Jane.....Fragile and under an onslaught of weather warfare.

I've got family in that area. Hopefully not in the line of fire though! *waits on email*

Hope they're alright phem

The Doc's out that way too far as I recall

Frightening. I'm just glad we don't get big ones like that in the UK.

So am I.....especially as the UK gets the greatest Tornado rate for its land area of any country in the world. The Netherlands comes close to the Uk....luckily they are usually very small.

I had a dream a few years ago that there was a big one coming towards my house

I'm scared of them.

I heard from someone that they were headed our way, but then on here someone mentioned they were heading north. Guess I'll know for sure in a few, living in hurricane territory, I know first hand about tornados. Hurricanes can form tornados once the storm hits land. I live on the GulfCoast
I guess I should check the weather then

I nominate you as our weather girl stateside!

We all have 'jobs' to do around here don't you know...or did DG forget to mention that in your enrollement?

Jane

Well I may not be your best choice not being a news watcher, however I might agree only if you let me report what I see first hand.

Absolutely...first hand..on the ground reporting...you'll be asking for a wage next!

You'll have to take that up with Admin!

Jane

Okay I'm going back a little on what I said and decided to post thusfar what I found on the internet.
This map shows the worst to be in Louisiana, and although my area, the pan handle of Florida, may get some storms. The worst part should pass over me.

But I also found this, which appears to look not too bad

In any case the weather at the moment is nice, I've noticed a drop in temp and a little breeziness. Well let you know of any changes.

When on a smoke break and thought I had some rain to report but it was just the sprinkler system, so darn aggravating.

Thanks guys!!

Yeah, I got word from my peeps and everyone is OK!! Growing up Texan gives you a real strong, healthy respect for Mother Nature, especially between late March to mid July!! Tornado season seems to stretch a little further out in both directions every five or so years.

a tornado was confirmed in baton rouge (spelling?) lousianna around 2:30 am

Well we lucked out down here, it's an absolutely beautiful Good Friday, lovely clouds in the sky, not a chem trail to be seen(good or bad there certainyly quite unattractive) I plan I enjoying this easter weekend for the first time in many a year, lots of sad memories with this part of the year, but I feel great, thanks in no small part to you guys, smooches to all.
