AMHQ or how is your weather

May 20, 2015 11:58:13 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

So now I got cable. I found the weather channel and they show videos of all that crazy weather happening in the mid west. I saw one of a tornado forming live, in real time. I saw the wind whipping around it coming from the right and as it was sucked up into a monstrous storm cloud they call a super cell. Bolts of lightning so bright they leave after images on the TV screen and the thunder, turn up the volume and it sounds like a freight train with your name on it. Also there are storm chaser websites I plan on checking out. Anyone got interesting stories to share?

Nothing special in my neck of the woods.  A tad cooler than it usually is, but that's it.  the West coast of Canada is pretty same old, same old.

When I had the weather channel  - I ditched cable years ago for www - anyway, weather channel seems to be into making the weather much scarier and frightening than it really was.  I was near  a box store that was hit by "a tornado.'  Extremely rare in upstate NY.  When i saw the weather channel's take on the event - well, I might as well have been on a different planet.

They tend to focus on where action is. Right now the midwest is that, record flooding with no end in sight for the rain. This month a record was set for the amount of rainfall. Five inches more than all of last year.

Ross, TWC also has a pretty decent website. I like the videos they have on it, some of them are quite interesting. It also has live radar.

Turned on the weather channel and saw some major flooding in Houston Tx. A months worth of rain in 12 hours. 10.1 inches. There was a report of a dam failing that emptied a lake and washed out a main road. A record was broken that had been set 120 years ago, in 1895 for the month of May. Arizona is 3 inches away from seeting an all time record for the month. Unbelievable.

In many of these areas the FAA is trying to take weather observation away (this also includes my neck of the woods)

 

Shows how little they care about safety.

That's crazy. Especially if you live in a high risk area. This morning north of Houston Tx in the space of a few minutes more than 1700 lightning strikes were recorded. 

Trivia: Did you know that the Houston area is larger than the state of Rhode Island. That state has an area of 1400 miles as opposed to 1700 miles for that region of Texas.
