Tornado brewing at a buddy's place in the Springs...

What part of the Springs?

I thought for sure there would be a funnel cloud last Friday, but none showed up.

He's north, in Black Forest

Luckily the ED at Saint A's wasn't busy so I got to hang out in the bay and watch the show.

Til the hospital got nailed and lost power for about a half a second...

my trees were going nuts, hurricane looking winds and rain the way it was moving. my little dog was scared shitless.

I turned everything off and unplugged it thinking we were going to get hit or a serious surge but luckily that never happened.
all quiet again now!

Last night up here in the mountains I looked north and saw nothing but continuous flashes on the horizon (not much visual on the individual bolts themselves) and I swear it looked and sounded like a firefight going on in the distance. Kinda cool looking, but all this stormy weather has me bummed, I want to go camping this weekend but not sure what nature has in store.

Thanks to the night time storms this week, I am at 40+ hours of overtime already and it is only Wednesday!!!

Light up a tree in the park.. Bark over across the street in a guys driveway..
