As long as you aren’t toooo close, they’re cool.

There were some downed trees (and a wrecked garage) in a neighborhood near Irene’s work. You’d never know that we had such excitement less than 24 hours ago! :coffee:

That’s cool and scary. Was there any damage to the house or anything? I knew there was some nasty weather happening, we got a good soaking too yesterday. But I didn’t know there were any tornados in your area. I’ve never seen a funnel myself either.

Those are officially known as “weather woodies” in the weather business! :wink:

C & I were at Eastgate & when we got out of “Dodgeball” (which will become a classic in no time!) & the boy-manager dude was running around with his walkie-talkie, all in charge. We were informed that the storm (hail, rain & possible funnel clouds) were headed our way. So, we had some pretzels and cheese & watched the show in the lobby. Lots of nervous teenage girls on their cell phone. We left there around 9 & yes, driving & sky-watching can be rather dangerous! Very cool clouds & lightning above. I love WI for its weather! I’m sure the local weathercasters had woodies all night long! :wink:

Orion and I rushed over to inspect for damage. Our floor was unscathed, but lots of damage. It will be interesting to see it in daylight.

The ultimate irony, of course, is that I work for a weather company! :shock:
