2. Hmm, not a well developed eye...

but then the SD legislators tend to be blind to what their constitutents want, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

3. WTH is this!!

OMG!! :wow: :wow: Is this a joke?

[SlipperySlope]

6. Storm is real...

That's why I linked to three different sites

4. I guess North Dakota is collateral damage?

I'm in south Texas and it is hotter 'n hell here for April. One spot south of San Antonio hit 101F. But there is a frontal boundary setting off thunderstorms in central Texas where they've had some big hail. I don't blame God for being upset with Texas after our state's overall complicity in getting Bush* up to DC.

5. It looks like a hurricane

OR a VERY well defined, HUGE super storm with the visual signature that indicates potential tornatic activity.

8. Jeez, it's just a well defined low pressure system...

...nothing odd or unusual about this. :eyes:

7. the pigmedia stepping on each others toes trying to avoid showing this!

i can just see the 'bush protection team' saying 'hell, maybe when the dems in office, we'll use it, blame it on too many poor people in amerka haheheehee)

[Dogmudgeon]

9. It's just a low-pressure system

But a pretty one at that.

Is it spawning tornadoes or something?

--p!

10. Nice low pressure system...

If this isn't sending a message, I don't know what is.

11. Four feet of snow and 80 mph winds...

WEATHER SUMMARY FOR WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE CENTER CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD
CREATING GALE TO HURRICANE FORCE WINDS IN PORTIONS OF THE REGION.
GUSTS OF OVER 80 MPH HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN THE RUSHVILLE AREA CAUSING
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO BUILDINGS AND KNOCKING DOWN POWER LINES. THE
STRONGEST WINDS APPEAR TO BE IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE
REGION BUT THE ENTIRE REGION IS UNDER THE GUN.

12. That's just a low.

Hurricanes have eyes and form over warm water. They build up and break down cyclicly. That's just a low pressure front and nothing especially special unless the timing makes it so.

13. Is this a normal thing for the Jet Stream to do?

[liberalhistorian]

14. Hey, hey, I'm right in the middle of that right now!

I'm in Rapid City, we got a snowstorm today and the winds have been terrible these past couple of days. I attended the annual Easter Sunrise service at Mount Rushmore Sunday morning, so I sure hope I'm not being punished!

:evilgrin:
