Y'all stay safe. Does the new house have a shelter?
Basement with a small block room in one corner.
Also a cistern , in basement, 8'x15' 8ft tall , with 10" thick walls floor and ceiling. It's clean as a whistle and has an entrance from basement ( what a perfect gun vault)
Answer...Yep.
Jim
It was warm today, even worked up a good sweat finishing the work in my pole barn, close to 60 if not over.
Saturday I'll be in the same tornado zone as Jim. The time frame is about 10hrs later.
I hate december tornadoes... they're tricky, don't behave like spring tornadoes, less predictable. But, they can be just as deadly! A buddy lost his house 16dec of 2000, 11 people died in that storm.

First snow of the season is predicted for tomorrow. I heard that if we wake up in the morning and there is no snow, we will have broken all records for the latest first snow. According to the weather app on my phone, snow is supposed to start at 5 in the morning, so we will likely not break the record.
Supposed to be 40mph winds tomorrow. May have to stay in the city instead of my sister's house tomorrow.
Today mid 50s and drizzle
Tomorrow for my nieces wedding 90% chance of rain, high in upper 60s, winds up to 60mph, and tornado watch. Heaviest rain over a 4 hour period, 2 hours before and an hour after.

Raining & 54F
Foggy here this morning... warm air from the gulf is pouring north... not a good thing, means bad weather is on the way.
A lot of places under the gun for very bad weather!! It was soupy here this morning but looks like any bad weather will be well East!
Wife just got a call from her doctor.
She's calling in some antibiotics. Told to drink lots of liquids.
She feels just fine, just can't get rid of a persistent cough.
3rd time in 2 years she tested positive. Thankful she is doing well , may be some truth to the vaccine helping.
Or as we thought, it's just a head cold that went into bronchitis , for the 1000th time in her life.
I'm too busy and ornery to get it
. You know as old as we are, we still sleep together ....and kiss a little.

Thought you two were getting ready to snuggle up before the bad weather!
We got a dusting of snow here this morning. Could use a broom to clear it rather than needing a shovel. So that equates to about 1/2 inch of accumulation. Mostly melted away now. Alexa says it is 33 degrees outside now (lunchtime), but it feels much warmer. Don't really need a jacket unless you're planning to be outside for a while.
It's overcast and 75 freaking degrees in the Ozarks!
We are on our 5th day in a row of complete overcast. Unusual for here.
But it is a comfy 79° outside. My kind of winter!
Oh, I forgot the required panic: "It's the global-warming that will kill us all!"

Sorry for the wife's positive test, hope it goes away quickly!!Thought you two were getting ready to snuggle up before the bad weather!
84°, GOT ON THE POOL FLOAT, and got to vacuum it good!! It's drained down a foot so I could drain the equipment, but was warm enough to float!! Feel like a new relaxed person!!
Well it has started.
Heavy rain, hail, spotted tornado on the ground just a few miles sw of me.
Headed directly at us.
Watching closely.

I'm the blue dot.
Heavy rain now.
They're saying this is just the beginning. Worst will start after 11 pm.
Been many years since they have seen these conditions.

84 here today. It is still quite warm. It was very humid all day, heavy overcast, sun was out for awhile. Overcast again. I don’t think we’re supposed to get any bad weather tonight. Hoping y’all stay safe.

Please let us know how you are!!
It's gonna be a long night.
3 tornadoes have been spotted within 30 miles of me.
All the big ones are coming out of Arkansas heading right up our way.
Our local weather guys will be live all night watching for us.
Jim

What do you do when you know you can't stay awake but tornadoes and severe winds are expected all night? Have you ever gone ahead and gone to your shelter area for the night? How's the radio reception underground?
Storms will keep me up no matter what, never take my eyes off them!! Good weather radios are the best!!
