it's just a thunder storm... nothing new really. They issue those warnings all the time.

Storms are scary when you're alone .. but if you're with someone they can be pretty cool to watch from a balcony

i like storms
cept when nippy gets scared
then i feel sad
or when i know no-ones home and she's alone
cuz i KNOW she'll get scared
and that usually means she trashes something
which means she gets yelled at by my parents
and that means i get pissed at them and yell at them and hug her and yell some more :lol:

all in all.. to summarize... storms are cool when they take place everywhere other than where nippy is :nod:

back on April 6, I was watching the Weather Channel and got the Emergency Alert System warning. I freaked out, thinking the city was getting bombed (cuz I'm paranoid like that) and found out the EAS was a thunderstorm warning. I was totally scared anyway.

I only remember the day because I needlessly arrived at the FleetCenter box office at 8:30 am to attempt to get a good ticket to see Michael Jordan once before he retired. The box office opened at 11.

Yeah, I witnessed the rain and such, I saw the big storm clouds flying toward edmonton. It was pretty neat too.
No tornado though.

i think out of anywhere in north america, this area has got to get about the worst weather ever. its horrible 364 days of the year and the one day its not, its still shitty.

actually northern florida/southern gerogia (basically the jacksonville area) get a few tornadoes every year
and thats in addition to the hurricanes and nearly daily torrential rain falls
