As long as I remember, I have been scared of tornadoes. I remember as a little girl being terrified as those sirens went off. Yesterday, I realized that I am still that little girl terrified of tornadoes.
Tornado season just started here in the midwest and there have already been massive storms and terrible tragedies. Storm watchers have predicted this season to be one of the worst in history.
Severe weather is upon us here in Texas. A strong thunderstorm moved on through parts area producing a couple of tornadoes that touched ground.
Well we survived Blizzard 2013! Some of us are still trapped in the house. I am until my driveway is cleaned off, my car isn't going anywhere in the drift that has formed in front of the garage. I'll admit, I wan't prepared, I don't even have a snow shovel to do it myself, so I wait on the lovely people with the plow to come an handle my driveway. I'm on a list. So I digress, now that we have all this snow, what can we do with it? Here are fun things to do in the snow.
Yes, it is cold outside. Yes the snow is blowing like crazy. I could barely open my front door. My child is wanting to go outside and play and well, it isn't happening, yet. So we all know this weather is crazy, and I'm curious, what does it look like in your neck of the woods?
Batten down the hatches and bring the pets inside, because there is a very large and dangerous winter storm headed to the area. This is being reported by all the local news outlets as well as the National Weather Service.
You know all of that snow sitting outside your window that's turning into an icy mess as the days progress? Want to watch how it got there? Oh, good!
A particularly harsh, and large, spate of weather has been pummeling much of the Eastern half of the country, with recent incidents affecting residents as far north as Wisconsin and Michigan and all the way down to Georgia and Alabama, even stretching westward into Texas.
I'll be honest I didn't realize it was snowing last night until my mom called and asked if it was snowing here. I yelled at E. to put his PJs on because he had just gotten out of the shower and he did and came running into the living room. I told him to open the door and of course got the excited scream, "snow, it's snowing, oh my gosh snow".
If you've spent time in New York City, you've seen your share of rats. The most common place to spot the unpopular rodents is in the city's subways. Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, many of the subway tunnels are currently flooded, leaving the rats nowhere to go but up.
And according to experts, they will have no problem doing so.
Photos of Hurricane Sandy flooded social media sites throughout the day Monday, with Facebook, Instagram and Twitter users in the storm's path posting dramatic photos of waves, flooding and downed trees. (Some are fake, by the way.)
Don't always believe everything Facebook tells you. If it was all true, do you have any idea how many dollars would've been donated to charity for liking that picture of a kitten? It can't be all true, and it's not. Here are some pictures of "Hurricane Sandy" circulating around that most certainly are NOT pictures of Hurricane Sandy. You're welcome.
