Living here in NW Arkansas means we get some serious storms this time of year. I just looked at the radar and there is a strong line of thunderstorms barreling our way. I figure when I'm at the heart doctor getting my monitor it will hit. They will see my heart jumping all around because I have serious anxiety attacks when it storms. I grew up in Nebraska right in the heart of tornado alley well now I'm just a street over from the alley LOL. I don't know if we are under any watches or anything but I am not looking forward to this evening.

Thats really scary Jannie. Can you let the doctor know that you're worried about storms so they take that into consideration with the heart monitor?
We almost always have them take my grandma's blood pressure twice because sitting in the waiting room often makes the blood pressure raise. They were always worried about it until we explained that extenuating circumstances affected her vitals. Anyway, I hope the storms aren't too bad....

Let us know what's going on (if you can). Yeah, I saw the weather map last night when it showed Minneapolis and Omaha were going to get hit with serious storms.

Living in the mid northeast, I love Autumn, but I guess where you and are getting the wild storms/tornadoes, I'd just have to say I agree with you.
Stay in safe quarters. ((((((((( janniebug )))))))))))))))

The storms are done for the night except for a little rain. I was driving in the worst of it because I had to get to the heart place so had to keep pressing on. I could barely see the car in front of me so I slowed way down. I'm glad I'm home and that the worst of it is over.

Jbug,
I can really understand your dislike for these huge stroms. When I was 5 years old, my grandparents were moved to Kansas by the company my Gramps worked for (santa fe railroad). My Mother & I were in the apartment alone while my grams went to pick up gramps from work. All of a sudden, the sirens went off. My mom & I being from California, only knew the sirens as the cold war warnings. Luckily one of the maintenance men from the appartment came by & took us to the basement & told us there had been a funnel could sighting. Our first introduction to mid-west weather. Then one summer right before we went to Kansas, a tornado went through the town of Topeka. My grandparents watched it from their basement & could hear it....said it sounded like thousands of freight trains. It was 4 blocks wide & went from one side ot town to the other. The tornado came in over a hill that the indians had burried the bones from a tornado years before it was even a city....they said it would ward off tornadoes from ever coming into the city again......guess nature had other ideas with this one....never believe in superstitions!!!!! The destruction was amazing....I had never seen anything worse....& even to this day, the earthquakes here in California haven't caused that much damage. I know when I was just in Kentucky with the new farm I purchased, the huge thunderstroms were really scarry. I was out weeding & a storm was coming at us....my doggie was stressing & wanting to go inside. I finally agreed just before the rain started. The wind was strong & blowing everything. I went out on my porch to rescue my flag & got drenched. I stood in my entryway....dripping from head to toe. That was when I decided to go shower & dry off.....oh my what a stupid Californian. As I stood in my upstairs shower looking up through my sky light...I could see the lightning flashing all around. I got out of that shower so fast.....the vision of lightning coming through the skylight & into the shower wasn't a good picture....so I didn't want to even challenge mother nature. I have several trees in my woods that have been struck by lightning, so I wasn't going to take any chances & be a stupid Californian. I can definitely agree with your dislike for this time of year....from late spring to early fall. Debbie
