Exotics_Builder Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 How's this for scary? Yesterday afternoon's radar... looks like they got pretty wet in Iowa before we got it! A black hole over Iowa. That's about right
Harry P. Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Kind of like how 'haboob' is relatively new in use here in the desert SW...they used to just call them dust storms, I think...
Rob Hall Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 From accuweather.com... "Today's instantaneous communication of weather extremes by way of social media commands the use of attention-grabbing terms. There is a risk of overuse of terms like derecho or blizzard. However, the term "strong or severe thunderstorms" is used so commonly today that we felt many people may disregard a potentially life-threatening event if we stopped there." So what he's basically saying is that they have to be on the edge of hysteria just to get people's attention these days... News at 5!!! Kill Storm Derecho Danny coming through!!! Be on Alert!!! Augggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!

Harry P. Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 According to the paper, 5 different tornados touched down in the metro area Monday night.
cobraman Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Speaking of storms............ we actually had one last night !!! Started with high winds and then came the dust, oh the dust. I thought I may loose one of my trees out in front the wind was so bad. Next came the rain and it was quite heavy. Next was the lightning and the thunder. I loved it !
Harry P. Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I was in Phoenix a couple of years ago and one night I saw a lightning and thunder storm... not a drop of rain, though. I had never seen thunder and lightning without rain before...
