I love Duct Tape. Call me red. That was a hell of a storm last night.
Edited on Tue Apr-04-06 08:10 AM by commander bunnypants
No where as near as bad as the midwest yesterday. I counted down from 5 than kaboom all hell breaks loose. I am upstairs putting clothes away and I hear a tearing noise outside the window. I look outside and see some siding dancing in the wind. Of course there is nothing I can do at that point. AT about 230 am my wife wakes me up cause the siding is banging on the house and she cannot sleep. So there I am in my bathrobe and skivvies trying to get hold of the loose siding and I duct tape it to the house.

Anyone got a rusted car I can put up on blocks?

2. Wow. We missed it here in KC
We have been lucky so far. These storms are really bad. The one that rolled in here a few days ago was doing 75 miles an hour and had hail as big as golfballs. It went North of me. Another bad storm later in the day went South of me.

Ah spring!

Virginia is for lovers (of really weird weather)!

5. Nice pictures.
Yea, Missouri weather in the spring can change in a heartbeat. I think it is supposed to be 80 here tomorrow and a chance of severe storms.

7. I just saw where the hail was the size of grapefruit!
That would just go right through the roof.

We had some egg size hail in our last bad storm and I thought it was enormous. I can't ever remember having hail that is this big. Dime size or quarter size maybe - but not like this.
