Im sick of this damn rain. O.K. so we were in a drought for the past eleventy billion years but enough liquid sunshine already. We in the northern part of Georgia have hail and tornado producing storms comming in. OH CRAP! There go the tornado sirens as I type. Seriously I'm not kidding, off we go to the basement.
Shoot out here in Oregon its been nice and sunny the last couple days.
Hope the weather lets up on ya and nothing gets damaged.

So far we are in good shape. My inlaws 15 miles away have two houses in their neighbourhood with trees in the living rooms. My sister inlaw has a tree on her car but the inlaws house in O.K.

By the radar, we just got missed. SE corner of Bartow, only inside the county by about 300yds. I could swear I heard the thing.

Is everyone OK? I'm still looking at radar, this last band should be it.
Yep we made it thru. Thanks for asking. My creek is up but still within its banks, Never any danger from it, It is about 75' elevation change behind the house. The inlaws are fine, the neighbors stayed with them last night. One house in there neighbor hood is gone acording to my SIL.

Glad everyone is OK, but why is that radar not work safe?

Glad everyone made it through. Stinks about your inlaws' neighbors, though. These things make us nervous..we moved out here because it's cheaper. It's a "manufatured home", which I've disovered is a trailer on a permanent foundation. I guess it's not bad for a tornado magnet, at least it has a 2-car garage, and there's no emissions in Bartow. I asked the owner if it'd be OK to park a car in the back yard, and he said, "..no problem. My boat used to live out there."
We're surrounded by trees, though. Last night was scary.
I ducked a tornado while living in Marietta - the one that tore up Windy Hill / I-75 about ten (+?) years ago. I was going to the North Avenue Trade School at the time. The twister went right over our apartment at night, but it didn't touch down. Man, I couldn't sleep if there was any thunder for a couple years. That train sound is unreal.
I'm down in Macon now. We've had our share of crap already this year too, but we dodged this round. Glad everybody's okay

Actually, it's a Bill Cosby bit of the conversation between God and Noah...
Oops, didn't see bludroptop's ost- sorry for the repost reference

one thing I love about D.C. is the weather, hardly ever rains, livin' in the city storms never knock the power out, but then there's...never mind...
it's all the hot air in DC that keeps the storms away.
Glad you guys made it through, it is just cold and wet here in NJ from the same system that spawned your storms
After two years of drouth, I'm surprised you are complaining about some rain.
Don't forget Hotlanta is trying to suck up water resources from all the adjoining states.

Actually, the debate concerns the adjoining states trying to suck up water resources that originate in Georgia.
As always, there are three sides to every story.

Savannah River doesn't entirely originate in Ga. Tennessee River doesn't even touch Ga, but now Ga says the old surveys are wrong and that it really does.
Some of the goofy movies that depict wars over water may yet turn out to be true.

The Savannah River is not a major player in the conflict. The Tennessee River and the Chatahoochee River are the main sources of water and consternation for Georgia, Tennessee and Florida.
The survey conflict between Georgia and Tennessee has existed for nearly two hundred years but drought-induced water shortages have re-ignited the feud. Granted, Georgia failed to anticipate and plan ahead for a drought that effects Atlanta (the poster child for unplanned urban sprawl), but there are arguments that neither Tennessee nor Florida are making any great changes or sacrifices for their benefit.
Here's an interesting link for more information:

Information in the comments section suggests officials in Tennessee, Florida and the federal government are deflecting attenton away from issues that may make them as accountable as the lackeys who have populated the Georgia state capitol building.
