Went to bed with the knowledge that our area was under tornado watch until 3:00am. A funnel cloud was forming just a few miles to the west of us, but it was moving due north, so it didn’t seem like we were at risk. Still, it was a little strange knowing there were several storm systems in the area that could start twisting and touch down anytime, anywhere, and we would most likely be asleep when/if it happened. Woke up at 5:00am to the sound of howling winds and thunderbolt after thunderbolt. Apparently a tornado had touched down somewhere in our state during the course of the night, but it was in a remote area and caused minimal property damage. A system was heading straight for us, but seemingly void of tornadic activity, so would have gone straight back to sleep. If it just wasn’t for that damned wind and 
the thunder that was just so loud!As the rain keeps pouring down, we’ll have flash flooding to contend with…

Kära Hanulf!
Så kul att ha hittat din blogg! Helt plötsligt kom du mycket närmare Uppsala, och det känns bra! Vi saknar er, tänker på er och pratar om er med jämna mellanrum. Hoppas att någon av dina syskon får barn snart igen så att vi får se er i Svedala inom överskådlig framtid. Tänkte avsluta med att bjuda på ett litet karriärtips: säg upp din nuvarande anställning/anställningar, sätt dig i en stuga och skriv en bok. Skriv om vad som helst, det blir nog jättebra oavsett vilket ämne du väljer att behandla. För skriva, det kan du!
hei..ble nesten litt overveldet over å finne en link til lille MEG her!;) men du- så skummelt med værfenomener utenom vår kontroll!!
ct.;)
Wow, that's all rather exciting. Got a raft ready for flood?
Cue Cubby Checker: Twister baby twister.
Oooh. I love severe weather, so long as it doesn't damage anything. I hope you've survived unscathed!!
That's really scary! I've never seen a tornado - I don't think I could handle it. But then, I'm from Cali, so I have to deal with my share of earthquakes!
I too am a lover of a good electrical storm, but tornadoes are something else--I don't know if I'd slept soundly after those pictures from Kansas last weekend. Glad you're safe.
Agda, kära, kära Magda!!! Tänk att det är du... nu blev jag hjärtans glad :) Vi saknar er massor - ni kan vel komma hit och hälsa på igen snart?! Tack för uppmuntran också - vad du är snäll :D Ska komma hälsa på dej nu...
Catt - bare hyggelig! Ikke så hyggelig med værforholdene om dagen... en skikkelig tordenbyge er jo bare hyggeilig iblant, men noe annet med tornadoer...
Pearl - no... just my flip-flops.. but since I'm about 3 stories tall I should be OK...
Anita - Still going strong! Last night was just more rain.. suppose to keep up most of the week
Leslie - I think earthquakes are just as scary as tornadoes, if not worse...
Sage - thanks... yeah that was a bad one. Fortunately we didn't get one like that...
Jeez, compared to the boring weather we get here in Ireland, I'm almost jealous! I love a good thunderstorm,and any opportunity to say 'Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore...'
hey...you're in my neck of the woods....sort of. We're in Kansas....
