More on Tornadoes

Some more tornadoes in our area. Not as close as the last time, but still ... too close for comfort. I found a web site of live streaming tornado chasers after the guy who does this called into one of the TV news shows that is only talking about the bad weather. [As a side note, it was funny watching the national Weather Channel vs. the local ... the Weather Channel kept saying that people needed to get into their basements ... like we're living in the midwest ... not very many have basements around here ... I don't know anyone, in fact.]

The live tracking can be found at http://www.tornadovideos.net/index.cfm/do/s.LiveTracker and their main site is http://www.tornadovideos.net/.

They have cool videos, live tracking, good pictures, and even offer tours/storm chasing (thought of you, Sandy!).

Tornado

Well, I guess tornado season has officially started. This is a photo of the tornado that was a couple of miles from where I work yesterday. We had to duck and cover for about 20 minutes and when the "all clear" was announced I went straight to our little courtyard area. From what I could see it was blue skies and sunny. So strange! Later on, when I went outside and could see a wider area of sky, you could still see dark clouds not too far off, but still sunny, blue skies right above.

I also found this article with amazing photos of tornadoes today in the Daily Mail. Here's just one example of their cool tornado photos:

No Jogging Today

It actually bummed me out that I couldn't go for my jog today. It was supposed to rain yesterday and it never did. Today was a whole different story. It probably didn't stop for more than an hour today.

I went out for lunch, but other than that I stayed in. After finding this picture of a car on Camp Bowie (not far from me), I'm glad I stayed in.

I've been on Camp Bowie before when there wasn't a flash flood and have experienced high waters. I think there are just some parts that are not well drained or well engineered.

I just checked the radar and more rain and storms are on the way tonight, but it should be over tomorrow. I hope it's done by the morning so I can get my jog in ... if not I will have to wait until evening.

Another picture from those tornadoes

I saw this photo on a news site or yahoo's photo site and thought it was very interesting. With my fascination with light up baby plastic Jesuses, I thought this fit well.

This photo is surreal.
