Power is out

Thank goodness for cellular data plans

I hear it coming this way. All I know is the satellite better not go whacky when Scandal comes on!

The government will stop the internet so we do get any information

Tornado sirens? Really?

Same here (north side of Franklin). Hopefully the kid doesn't hear them, but the wife is at work at that's gotta be intense. Time to round up the flashlights.

We had some massive wind gusts about 15 minutes ago. Figure there are many trees down as I heard a lot of bangs outside. Am amazed that we still have power considering how gusty it was. Only lasted a few minutes, but one gust is more than enough to ruin your day if you run out of luck.

Hope you get your power back soon Doc.

Straight line winds did some damage to our roof. Serious wind speeds.

Times like these I am glad that neither me, nor my neighbors on either side of me have any trees. The ones across the street were swaying like mad when those gusts came through. No tornado sirens here, but at this point all I hear is sirens from emergency vehicles. They seem to be pretty constant. Fortunately we still have power.

Power is back! I'm disassembling 80 tapco ak mags. Easier in overhead light than indirect light from my flashlight

Our power stayed on, which is saying something. Usually a bad forecast knocks it out.

We're in the dark just south of Cumberland.
i just pulled the porch rockers out of the front yard. The wind was crazy for 15 minutes or so, but it's now very calm.
No need for the genny with the temps today. Time for bed.

Just curious how you could tell...wet ceiling?

Not too bad here. Wind blew hard for about a minute, a little rain, but satellite didn't even pixelate and lights didn't even blink.

Tornado sirens were going for a few minutes in Greensburg. I think it is bad between here and Shelbyville

About an hour into the serious rain/winds I saw a few drops from the trim by the fire place. It is still dripping. I think the wind lifted the shingle around the fire place flu. Will look 1st light tomorrow.

Dang...It may be just the wind blowing it up under the flashing.

We used to live in a Cap Cod style house, with a story and a half with 2 dormers in the front of the roof. One day it rained as hard as I'd ever seen it (but not much wind). We had some we spots on the downstairs ceiling that just corresponded to the locations of the walls of the dormers above. I climbed up there and couldn't find anything wrong and it never did it again--even with storms with a lot more wind. Maybe you'll be just as "lucky".

If luck has anything to do with it.....not a chance.
Roof is near done anyway. Was looking at re-roof this spring. Might happen a bit sooner. Like next weekend...

That'll put a dent in the old Christmas fund!

Yes it will. Santa will be extremely put out.

But I bet he'll have something for those 2 little ones in you avatar...


Santa's funny that way.
