Thunderstorms

[HottyToddyChick]

Home alone with Riley today, and there was a huge lightning and thunder. Scared me half to death.

Part of me was hoping Riley would comfort me today, you know, with the whole storm and then the possibility of losing power (Heaven forbid), but no... the dog is just as chicken as I am.

Peachy.

is she shaking like a leaf or barking her head off? mine do both and there is no comforting or stopping them

 

[HottyToddyChick]

She shook while it was flashing and booming. Now she's just pressed up against me as close as she can be.

Dogs typically are NOT the best comfort animals with bad weather, it's actually hard for them because olfactory AND hearing is so sensitive, it's literally sensory overload, it's nothing personal..

 

[pjbleek]

well, thanks for the heads up...we'll be getting the boomers soon enough..and the dogs will be letting us know

Thunderstorms relax me, but nothing too severe.

 

[HottyToddyChick]

That does and doesn't make me feel better.

That one... I saw the flash out of the corner of my eye, and it was still a visible bolt once I turned to look. And then the thunder rattled the windows for about 10-15 seconds. It was bad...

And we're under a tornado watch. I'm just trying to forget that though.

What I said? You should have known I'd go scientific with you, it's the only thing that makes sense to me anymore.

That and:ninja<------That guy

I should have known.

I'm still trying to figure that guy out... he makes me suspicious.

That's one word for it:ninja

 

[HottyToddyChick]

You are so messing with my mind right now!

I'm in Wilson, NC and we're under a tornado emergency. Raleigh, which is about 45 minutes from me, was just hit with 3 large tornadoes, and large-sized hail, and 60mph winds. I'm just about scared right now. I live in a 100 year old farmhouse, in the middle of 300 acres of fields. There's nothing to block my house from the wind here! :willy_nilly:

oh yea? i live in tornado alley, not touchdown tornado's just a whole lot of rotation

 

[Withers]

I live very near the coast, we're not supposed to have tornadoes here that often!! Seems like every time we have a storm the last few months they are calling for tornadoes.

 

[stonedmechanic]

warmer air climate? more tornados?


oh snap

 

[Withers]

It's crazy because my whole life living here I've only known like 3 or 4 tornadoes to have ever hit here.

Your odds are actually better of the Government solving a problem
