This is the place to tell all of Fun Trivia what your weather is today or was yesterday. It doesn't have to be extreme, although extreme is...well, extreme, just tell us temp, precipitation, wind, lightning, hurricane, cyclone, monsoon, typhoon, tornado, flood, heat, cold, all of your weather related phenomena. Nothing is too mundane. We pray that it isn't too extreme, as in extremely dangerous!
I am a certified severe weather spotter here in SW Ohio. I would love to find out about weather around the FT World.

Thank you!

O right

Most extreme I lived through was.. that other year (I forget what it was). Lot of people didn't feel it, and it's actually not extreme at all (except maybe for those living in that area). But we had a tremor few years back: I felt the ground shaking and kept repeating: "Don't get uppp, don't get up" while hanging on to my desk chair for dear life.

In 2003, I was living in a two-story apartment when Hurricane Isabelle blew into our neck of the woods here in Pennsylvania. It wasn't very safe, but I opened the door to see how bad it was (see... ha ha, for as you know I'm totally blind). Where I lived, there were steps (wood) with a hole in between, and a wood railing. Nineteen steps. Rickety railings too. Definetly not safe, what we did

Anyhow, back to that tremor: nana was still alivee then, and she got up to investigate why the floor was shaking a bit (more like rocking the tiniest bit. Strange how people, even in the same area, didn't feel it).

I freak out if there's a tornado watch or warning. I freak out during a thunderstorm. I freak out if it snows (though if I don't have anywhere to go, I don't mind). I freak out during rain and freezing rain. Speaking of which..
There's a rumor I was born during a snowstorm. There was a bad one in '96, and another just the other year (on my actual birthday, so celebrations had to be cancelled).

Severe storms must be truly awful for the sight challenged. The distinct sound of a tornado, the roar of a hurricane for hours on end, scary stuff.

It got above freezing today for the first time in living memory, and will stay warm for at least a week. Hurrah!

A live report from Spain! :-)

I got to visit Barcelona and Palma Majorca when I was in the navy. Palma Majorca is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Had lots of fun there.

Isn't that where Clint Eastwood filmed his Man with No Name Trilogy? Spain by Sergio Leone starring Clint Eastwood.

The Spaghetti westerns were filmed in the Almeria desert region.

I was speaking generally when I said Spain is where the spaghetti westerns were filmed.

Absolutely beautiful day here today after the dense fog lifted. I had no idea that a fog could lack intelligence.
52*F and sunny.
