Last Monday I was at my grandson’s baseball game. All day had been sunny with no calls for rain in the forecast. But clouds were rolling in during the game and at the end, it started to sprinkle rain. By the time I got home there was thunder and lightning everywhere. This is a picture from about 30 miles south of us.

Mother nature got lost. This is normal in Oklahoma.
I just need a lot of rain for the next couple of weeks.
I laid 2 1/2 pallets of sod last weekend.
I’ve been watching Maximum Velocity on YouTube over the last few days, Tulsa got hit pretty hard.
We were under the big black bunch of clouds. BUT…even at my grandson’s ball game, the chance of rain in the forecast was - none. It just popped up. Some of my friends were coming home from a ride in Lousiana and said they were glad they chose to drive up I49…they were watchign all of it develop while they drove. It happened again yesterday - a slight chance of rain turned into thunderstorms with hail.
I wouldn’t say it was hit hard. There were a couple small tornados in the area. Small amount of damage.
I am planning to fix the door on my outdoor underground shelter this weekend. It leaks some and the concrete floor is wet. I would go in if there was a real threat but wife and kids is a different story. I need to at least drop a bug bomb to kill the black widows and check it for rattlesnakes.

I watch him occasionally when there is severe weather. The guy is really raking in the $$$$$.
It’s simple math:
More CO2 means we have higher atmospheric average temperature and higher atmospheric temperature means we get more atmospheric water vapor and the more total rain will fall and the more rain that falls means we get wider temperature variations which mean more violent weather.
This trend will have wider swings in the spring and fall and, and on average, will continue to increase for the foreseeable future.
Weird question: when did wacky become whacky? I’m seeing the latter more recently, but never saw it spelled that way until the last few years.
I’ve always spelled it thayt way, then again, I am one of those who adds a u in many words (colour, flavour etc) and I try to make an effort not to do that. But I’ll always have an h in whacky.
Did you spend time around British people?
In a previous life I think I was British.
Were you British or Bri Ish?
Probably after some post by a person who confused weather and whether.
I don’t want nothing to do with that.
I’ll bet a LOT of airplanes added an extra 50 NM to their routes going around that thing.
I love how they over-enunciate some T’s and just omit others altogether.
I may audition for the Ren Fair this year.
I will have to work on my accent if I do.
Took a while to realise that this could be pretence, in defence of the U.S. way.

As an Okie speaking, these are the storms that bring all the neighbors out to spectate together.
A couple weeks ago there were storms in the area. I waited them out in the office so I didn’t drive through hail. I went to the top floor of the building for a better view.

Here in Kansas, when tornado sirens go off, men go outside to look and bullshit about the weather until we see it.
