My grandparents were nearly hit by a tornado today. Luckily, the storm veered left and weakened before it got to them.

Good Evening
Not looking good there, guys.

Sorry for the double post.

I'm trying to correct this " hidden post thing ". I gather that I go to my blog site, and correct from there at the top right .
I dont have a WU
blog, and the page does not have anywhere to correct that from.
What to do ?

Thanks for any help. Its very annoying..........

Good Evening

V26R said this front is expected to hold together and be a threat all the way out to the Atlantic and the E coast might have a rough time tomorrow from the same system.

Oh, my goodness my hometown area, Elkhart.

Didn't they issue a tornado emergency for Grand Banks, Nebraska on May 5th last year? I think I remember a tornado emergency declared, but the tornado lifted off the ground just before arriving in town.

Pottery2, you can probably set the filter on member settings on the left side near the top of this page.

Flaboyinga, that sounds pretty grim.
Glad I'm not anywhere near any of that.

The BIG Picture

Thank you!

I forgot that you were on one of the small targets in the hurricane shooting gallery.

Thankfully all we had today was mainly a rain event. Glad to see we had no sirens. Tomorrow is another day though.

Flaboyinga, that sounds pretty grim.
Glad I'm not anywhere near any of that.

I just remembered that I saw something similar to this system and put the link up. It was on the 850mb vorticity loop and part of it was forecast to break off and slide down thru Fla. at the end of this week.

Flaboyinga, a small target, and off- to- the- left too.!!!
Nowhere on Member settings to correct the prob. Any other ideas anyone ??

Pottery2....go to "MY BLOG" at top left of this page....then look for the words "add entry" (or something similar....Click "add entry" then on the right of the page (you will need to scroll down some) look for "Control Panel" under control panel you will see "Modify Profile" click this and you should find where you can change the filter to "See All".....Good Luck!

What the beep is going on here ??

Thanks WWW, trying that now........

Did you get you problem fixed so you can see your posts?

Pottery, right below member settings click on my blog then click on modify profile then you will see where you can change your filter setting.

Has anyone heard how Patrap is doing lately?

Thanks WWW, trying that now........

What the beep is going on here ??

Come to Weather chat and chat with me, Ill be here all night following the severe storms in my area.

Pat was on earlier - I think he said he has to go back into hospital in a week or so...check posts from earlier you should see his posts.

laST I HEARD TWO DAYS AGO PATRAP HAD SOME SURGERY WAS HOME AND WOULD HAVE TO GO IN FOR MORE;

pottery - I just fixed the problem myself the other day.....I have never set up a blog here but I did it exactly like I told you above...I rechecked the steps again and it was the same as the info I gave you. Did you find control panel after you clicked on "add entry"?

Thanks for the info on Patrap. It's kinda quiet without him, kinda like something's missing.

Appears alot of people are missing tonight lol

Yes, very much like something is missing. He is on a little bit until his surgery. Let's keep him in our thoughts.

WWW, your picture reminds me of 19th nervous breakdown by the Rolling Stones (lately called the Strolling Bones)LOL

Pat is certainly one of the top bloggers here so his presense has been greatly missed by all...definitely in my prayers.

LOL flboy.....I own a coffee shop and we sell those (they are magnets actually) I also live in Pensacola, FL and todays weather had me downing lattes all morning wishing I had the valium and vodka to go with it

WWW, sounds like you have you cake and get to eat it too. All day coffee break. And the rush is on.

Not a bad gig I have to admit!
Wishing the best to anyone dealing with storms tonight. Nite Flboy/all..coffee shops open really early!

WWW, have you seen anything from Pottery since she said what the beep?

Not a peep Flboy....he/she might have gotten frustrated trying to figure out how to change the filter problem. It seems like everyone took off...???

Sounds like a plan. A good night to all and a better tomorrow.

My friend in Owensboro, Kentucky was under 5 tornado warnings today! That is just insane

That is one long tracking tornado in MI. Wonder how Vassar faired.

That's the first time I've ever heard of such an event occuring, but I'm sure it's happened before. It's amazing that nature can do that.
