@greybeard what do you think about that theory??
Another storm is hitting right now, almost as bad as last night's storm... :he:hit
The weather still says 'party cloudy'!! Maybe there's a glitch and it's frozen on that...

I read that when the Summer Solstice comes within 7 days of a full moon, there will be violent storms!
The full moon was on the 18th
What do I think of it?
I think....That within any 7 days of any moon phase or any given date (especially this time of year), that violent storms are a very distinct possibility..if not probability... somewhere in that particular time zone.

Correlation does not equal causation...

Our local weather newscasters go live with minute by minute updates on the storms. Only bad thing for us is when it gets real bad, the satellite TV and internet goes off. Phone internet doesn’t even work.

Stay safe!

It's old school, but radio usually works when all else fails, but even in the middle of Ike and Harvey, I was able to receive and send via internet using cell tower connection as long as I had an electric power source.
A battery backup weather radio is a must for people living in rural areas.
SW is good too and you can find old SW band radios dirt cheap at flea markets and yard sales. (you can hear some very 'interesting' things on SW too)

@Mike CHS I hope you guys are alright...I know just a few hours ago the storms came around again and took down a few more trees around me. Stay safe and be careful!
I don't have cable tv but I found out that accuweather has a thing where you can put in your street address and it gives you weather updates every minute. That helps me a lot!
My neighbor came over fright before that storm a few hours ago, and he came by just to tell me not to freak out about that storm yesterday because it only happens once every 3 years and I wouldn't see it again for a loooong time...
I told him that there's another storm coming in 5 minutes (got it form accuweather) and he was making fun of me...
5 minutes later, it was pouring rain, thundering and the lightning was so low that it actually struck a tree in the woods behind his house...then the wind took the power out and I he finally said 'i guess you were right' ...so stubborn!
I decided i'm going to the dr. tomorrow for my back. That fall was just a lot worse than i thought :\
Amazing what adrenaline can do...this morning i could barely pick up some of those rabbit cages that i was running with last night :lol:

@greybeard i think i'll get a radio. It's a great idea and it would be really helpful!

A few weeks ago we had some really nasty storms. Hail the size of my fist! It was insane and thankfully after a few minutes the hail was softball then golf ball size. It lasted some time and the wind was really bad. We've had a few bad ones since then but nothing compared to the hail storm.
