(16,355 posts)It's pretty typical for April. You're the one with the tornadoes. You stay safe, too.

(57,073 posts)Yes, tornados and hail and high winds (for here - 20+ mph causes massive power outages). We've had some major storms the last couple of weeks, but no power outage, thus far. Fingers crossed. (It's no wonder with the way the power company crews leave equipment freely dangling from power lines, etc. Truly surreal.)
Thanks for the well wishes, my friend.
Glad to hear you are likely pepared.

(16,355 posts)There are occasional tornadoes at night when everyone is asleep. I think that's one reason they are more deadly down there. I can remember some intense thunderstorms in the middle of the night growing up there. Here in Colorado, we get T-storms and tornadoes, yet they are almost always in the late afternoon.
So you take care, my dear.

(57,073 posts)We had an ugly one during the day a couple of weeks ago. Sirens were blaring for over an hour. But here, wth are you supposed to do? No basements.
I usually just take a nap.

(22,418 posts)It automatically updates weather warnings so you can check out USA weather* when ever you want. Think of it as a way to verify that feeling in the bones some of us are alerted by, even before we see the maps.
If you are looking for remedies, I have a heated mattress pad that serves as a total body heating pad and it works wonders for talking bones. I use it all year long but it's especially nice in the wintertime.
Stay safe out there!

Our early warning system.

(16,355 posts)What I can't understand is why sometimes I experience severe inflammation--like now, but every now and then it doesn't bother me at all. I wonder if the barometric pressure has to fall to a certain level before I feel it.

Up here in Montana, it was a beautiful, sunny almost 70F yesterday for hours and by 4 pm it was raining, by 6pm it was snowing like crazy and it's currently 25F and snowing, still. Not much accumulation in the valley but I hope the mountains got a lot more.We're still under winter weather hazard warnings until 3pm tonight. Not gonna get warmer for a few days.

(16,355 posts)I guess I should also prepare for a really bad hair day, too.

(86,054 posts)The grocery in town had Walla Walla Sweet onion starts for sale so I bought two bunches which I realized needed to be planted within a few days. So I put them in a planter out back, a converted horse trough with at least ten inches from top of soil to top of the trough and keep it covered with two layers of heavy, translucent plastic. I pull it off and water them every few days but they seem to be keeping themselves warm under there. As long as it doesn't get down into the teens they should be okay. I prefer sweet onions but finding starts to grow them is really hard. If I can keep these alive for the next week or three, I'll have about a hundred of them which leaves plenty to share and trade.
