Storm thread

How many of these storms are we going to get in the next few weeks?
 
Were you able to harvest the seeds at least?
It was one of those 12 foot tall ones with loads of big heads full of seeds. I took it and threw it in the Chicken coop for the girls to enjoy. The base is like a tree trunk. I thought I had seeds for the 8 foot variety, but turned out it was the massive branching Sunnys. All that weight despite the size of the stalk was too much. I have another one that is leaning over the car and if it goes I think it'll cause damage. I tied it to a post just in case.
 
We had a storm in Dallas earlier this summer where we lost power for 6.5 days. It was a sumbitch mf'er. Generator ran non-stop.

Hope OPPD is more efficient than the dipshit idiots in Dallas.
My sis lives in Austin and it seems Tx power companies aren't prepared for emergencies.
 
I had one of my 4 river birch trunks take a hit on one tree.

Two branches off my front lawn river birch. My brother who is a half mile north of me lost one of his beautiful aspen trees. All in all pretty grateful considering my commute home last night.

The "one" day I decide to work in the office was adventurous. The wind pushed the back of my truck to the side (about a foot or two) as I was driving down the boulevard close to my house. That was a weird experience.

Opened thread to post about this (you)

Wonder if anyone will surpass the dude earlier this summer that was without power for 127 hours in Dallas?
 
Got power back on around 8:30am. Stopped home for lunch.

Some of y'all need to move ASAP! Wtf. I can't imagine storms like that. I get excited when I get to hear a thunderstorm and Asheville has never had a tornado or on of em' Door Ate Yos y'all get. We get flooding, but just don't live down by a creek and you're fine.

It's like the sky itself becomes a drunk driving Georgia football player.

Nobody ever claimed the weather was good in Nebraska. Or the scenery. Or places to visit. Or outdoor activities. Come to think of it I'm not really sure what the reasons for staying are.

Basically you grow up here and it's easier to stay.

I once listed all the amazing outdoor spots in Nebraska for @HuskerGarrett on the other forum. He hadn't heard of any of them nor visited. Haha.
