1. big storm coming?

[hrmjustin]

2. Yep. We are under a tornado watch. I can see some clouds rotating.

[BainsBane]

6. You'll be okay

A watch just means a tornado could develop. There hasn't been a sighting. We have those all summer long.

[hrmjustin]

9. Yeah we should be ok. The wind is kicking up and to top it off there is a crane in Manhattan

that broke and is swinging on 57 street.

[DJ13]

13. Another crane failure?

[hrmjustin]

14. It is the same building that had a crane failure during Sandy.

[DJ13]

15. Ah, makes sense

[hrmjustin]

16. The thing is that it is a different crane from the last one. The building has no luck.

[DJ13]

17. The building has no luck.

Or that crane company takes too many shortcuts.

[hrmjustin]

18. I thought so as well but I just heard it is a different crane company.

3. Looks like you've got a tornado watch going on out there.

Stay safe.

[hrmjustin]

4. No warning yet but I did see some rotation of the clouds.

[uppityperson]

7. :(

[hrmjustin]

11. The rotation has stopped. A lot of wind.

[Dawson Leery]

5. Tornado watch til 5 pm.

[hrmjustin]

10. I see upstate is getting it bad as well.

8. Stay safe!

Have a friend who got caught in the storm in Rockville MD. Said he got soaked all the way through to his skin (through raincoat, suit, etc., even water inside his rain boots). He said it was unreal.

Here in DE I was home for lunch when the first line came through. It sounded (and looked) like an army of angry squirrels were pelting our roof with acorns and twigs.

12. The wind is kicking up here pretty good but no rain yet.
