Re: Our mornin Coffee and Weather
the system that brought destruction from Texas to the northeast is moving into our area .... the heart of the storm front is still in western NC but steady rain and wind have moved into our area ... tornado, thunderstorm, hail, wind and flooding watches will be with us for the rest of the day and on to midnight .... in prepration we've buttoned up the house and camper .... hope those in this storms path will remain safe and dry

Re: Our mornin Coffee and Weather
as anticipated, shortly after noon the front that spawned heavy thunderstorms and spawned tornadoes from Texas all the way NC began hammering our area ..... almost all of our 100 counties had severe thunderstorm and/or tornado warnings ..... tornadoes touched down all around us but none in our immediate area .... thankfully we have seen and heard of damage to property but not of any injuries .... our power went off around 5PM and is still off as this is being typed .... so, we fired up our camper's generator and have moved it for the night ..... back in '05 when we had it built we chose to add a generator and we are glad we did .... in thinking back we know we've used it for shelter during power outages a half dozen or so times

Re: Our mornin Coffee and Weather
Great that you have that option.also glad you're out of harms way! As you probably know, we had all the warnings too.
Lots of flooding and a couple roads washed out.

Re: Our mornin Coffee and Weather
power restored shortly before midnight and we moved back into the house .... thankfully we awoke to a beautiful morning in the neighborhood .... Heavy damage but no injuries reported from intense storms pretty well sums up the impact of yesterday's storms (link below) ....second cup of coffee in a Henry mug .... still very soggy this morning, after lunch I plan to mow our yard for the first time this spring .... life returns to normal ( I HOPE )

Re: Our mornin Coffee and Weather
Having my second mocha for the morning waiting for enough daylight to start unloading the truck.
Packed down all my bee hives yesterday for winter, still very mild for this time of year. Only dipped below freezing once and day time temps have been about 10 warmer and in the mid 70's.
Nearly 12" rain last month in storms but still drought declared and less than 1/4" so far for April with nothing predicted for the next month.
Moved some of the cows in poorer condition onto good feed yesterday to so they put on a bit of condition before winter and calving time.
Set a couple of trail cameras as the local deer and just starting to move out of the forestry looking for better feed.

Re: Our mornin Coffee and Weather
happy to awaken to a beautiful morning in the neighborhood .... breakfast and 3rd cup of coffee as I look out to see a blue sky .... 51 degrees going to 65 with a 0% chance of rain ....its interesting to look at the Weather Channel's prediction for this summer (link below) .... I don't place much confidence in long range forecast, it will be interesting to look back in September and see how accurate they are ...

Re: Our mornin Coffee and Weather
I'll echo Vaquero's sentiments, Happy Easter everyone.
It's mid forties, going to around 60 and cloudy. It shouldn't rain.
Coffee in the Smith and Wesson mug this morning.
I might post about my recent range trip. It's been a long time since I went to the range. Enjoy the day.
