Sometimes, the storms hunt you
Virginia has the most insane weather in the
spring. Being in the unfortunate (but exciting!) geographical location of
smack dab in the part of the
eastern shoreboard where fronts collide.
Warm air from the gulf and down south comes up, while
cool air from the north comes down. This makes for not boring weather. Today we had some sort of kickin storms. the
weather guy on the local
TV station was actually saying "I'm quite impressed with this storm, it's registering the highest rating we can dectect on our doppler screens!". A big mass of
red (
severe), with a smaller blob of
purple (
extreme) in the middle, a dot of
black and
white (
good luck!), and
my house. Which would have been cool, because I think lighting storms are really cool, except for one thing:
Tornados. They have a nasty habit of
killing you,while
Lighting is fairly easy to protect yourself from. One never came after me, but there were confirmed reportsof them within the county and the county to the west, also, a
funnel cloud just up the road. Oh, and
golf ball sized
hail too.
All very brief and over within the course of an
hour and a half. Nature's great violent
orgasm, I guess.
And my house is also crawling with slimy
middle schoolers.
Don't ask.
