It's bad enough in SC, and I'm not near the coast. The river, on the other hand...

Here is a pic of the stone that went through the sky lite at work - it has melted a little bit but you can get a fix on the size of this thing. If it hit ya in the noggin you would be playing golf with Bob Hope right now...

Yea, and imagine it fell from the sky! How did wind ever hold it up in the atmosphere. That is a STRONG wind to push that thing UP.

We are under a tornado warning right now.
Not a common occurrence around here.

There is a part of the Taconic mountains that is like a mini-me Tornado alley...I remember seeing the damage from the Tornado a few years ago, and there have been some serious scary weather events in that area... i.e. at Copake.. Wishing those in the real Tornado alley godspeed,

-I flew into Anchorage, Alaska one night out of Hong Kong. We got there with min-fuel, and I flew the ILS approach down to minimums; Blowing snow, 1/2 mile visibility...quote un-quote!
We get through customs/immigration, and wind up in the lobby of the airport. They have a stuffed polar bear that is about 11 feet tall in their lobby just to gently remind you where you are. Anyway, the snow outside is now completely sideways. I can't see the other side of the parking lot. Suddenly, the hotel van shows up; a rear-drive late model Ford van. Is this drive to the hotel going to be safe? I ask myself as I walk out the doors to the van. Snow going everywhere, including down the back of my leather flying jacket, as I load my bag and backpack. We load up, and then we try to get to the hotel... Ford's vans are well-built, but they are still old-fashioned Hotchkiss-drive machines with live axle rear ends. We wound our way toward the hotel, the van slipping and sliding in the 13 inches [35 cm] of new snow on all the roads. The van was literally fish-tailing down the street, when the van driver asked us, non-chalantly: "Where are yah from?" I replied that I was from Florida. "FLORIDA! How da hell do yah deal with all them hurricanes down dare?" She said. As the van fishtailed down the street! I'm serious- she was incredulous about the hurricanes in Florida while the van she was driving could barely stay on the road due to the BLIZZARD we were driving in! I laughed (internally) and told her that they get more press than they deserve. Which is true- Moral: You get crap everywhere. Deal with it or move- N!
