SOWAL is gonna get weather

Since you will not be seeing any Sunset photos from today, I thought that I would share yesterday's Sunset from the 331 bridge.

it's here! got home just in time. the radio in the car said flash flood and tornado warnings in Okaloosa Co. wonder if they meant Walton Co too...

you had better go get a candle and a book, because I have a feeling that the power and or cable will not be connected when this storm passes through. ;-) Fortunately for you, the subcontractors just finished mowing all of the trees and bushes and grass, (including in the designated wetland areas ), under the power lines along CR 283, but that won't help in the local hoods in your area. So which book will you be reading? Forget the movie anyway. FYI - The best movie around is the storm which we are about to witness. Open the windows and feel the power of Mother Nature.

It is only a little weather right now, but I am watching Ch 7 news/weather right now, and the big stuff is on the way. Looks to be halfway between Destin and Pensacola right now, and it ain't pretty. Big tornadoes are predicted to come out of this storm. I need to go to Freeport, but I think I may have to wait until another day. I do not want to be up there when this storm rolls through. The area north of the Bay always seems to get the tornadoes.

Rapunzel, hang in there girl. You can always go hang out at the library for the afternoon. There are no trees around that parking lot.[/QUOTE]

AGH! I was supposed to return my already overdue library books on my way home...too late!

Firetruck just left my house ! Loud thunder, lightning, and my alarm went off. I thought we got it stopped but no!! Man, they are fast!!


and little Lu sleep through the whole thing!!:clap_1:

oh yeah. it's stirring up now. nice and warm, windy and cloudy... rain to start very soon. I hope bsmarty keeps us informed of possible tornadoes...

I was on the weather.gov site in one of my classes this afternoon and saw that Walton County was under a Tornado Warning. I wanted to post something but I could not type during the lecture .

SoWal 267-2809

oh, great! we could all be dead because you couldn't type in class! JK. now you are back and can resume your weather reporting duties.

So, what's the bottom line on the SoWal weather? Was there any damage?

I was on my way to a doctor appointment in north Atlanta in the awful weather (would have cancelled but I was having a health issue - after 4 hours of tests, the doctor said that everything is okay). But as I was driving up, hubby called and let me listen to the sounds at his office. First of all, sirens were blaring. A recorded announcement over the loudspeaker said, "We are under a weather emergency. Go immediately to your designated emergency areas." It was a tornado warning. I asked him to drive home and check on Pepper and the house, but they wouldn't let him leave. As soon as the warning was over, he drove home and everything was okay.

Nothing like adding a little stress to the day. Just hope our home in Seagrove is okay.

glad your tests turned out ok, and glad you, mr br, your house and pepper were ok too !

Thanks. I was very scared -- too many things piled on at once.

I was checking to see if everyone was okay too. Maybe she went to see BeachMom after all.

i hate weather like that - esp. having to drive in it...

It is so windy, my house is shaking!!
