Weather Paranoia

Oh my gosh Janet! Tornado season will never be the same to me again. Anytime I ever hear now of a tornado in your area I'm gonna be wondering if you're down in that cellar or in bed watching tv.

You are something else!!!!!

Here in NYC, we just don't have big weather issues. I have to laugh when the news comes on about a N'oreaster or a hurricane coming our way. Even a snowstorm usually doesn't amount to more than 3 inches!

The biggie this year was a real tornado that went in a straight line from NJ through Brooklyn, pretty close to my house. It ripped up a small park and some store signs and so on. Nobody got hurt thankfully.

The news people carried on like we were in Kansas!

My gosh, that's another stay I was wrong on the weather. I was wrong with Kansas and now Judy you're telling me my impression of weather in NY is wrong. I see on TV that they have blizzards and really deep snow and where you live only 3 inches?

I didn't even know NY had tornados. We have watches and warnings just about every time there is a storm anymore. Don't you worry about me Sheryl, you can bet when I need to seek shelter I will. I just don't panic like hubby does.

NYC has very little weather. Upstate there are blizzards, etc. We do not get tornados, so you were right about that. This was a fluke. The whole country was having storms at that time - this past summer.

We have had 2 earthquakes in my lifetime - one I slept through and the other I didn't feel. They were very minor, but we are on a fault.

Today it's somewhere in the 50's and a beautiful day.

That 'stay' in my post should have been STATE. I was reading this thread again and it took me awhile to figure at what I was talking about...duh..I need to proof read.
