Is all of this extreme weather starting to get freaky to you?

[hangemhigh]

The entire world is experiencing extreme weather and natural disasters. I started paying more attention to the weather during Florida's bizarre hurricane season. Tsunami. Extreme flooding and winds, snowfall, landslides, flooding, threatening volcanoes, a major glacier event. Statistical records are broken frequently and in the extreme. I think it's frightening. :wtf:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. yes, very!

[Jack_Dawson]

2. It's Fun!

It NEVER rains here. We actually have green hills! Excuse me?

[maveric]

15. It sucks!

I want my old San Diego back!

[Jack_Dawson]

25. Don't be a typical San Diegan!

Waahhhh the low wasn't 66 and the high wasn't 72 today.

Bore-Ring! C'mon Mav develop some character. :toast:

[davidinalameda]

3. I'm so sick of the rain here

my dining room window leaks

[xray s]

4. The way I figure it....

...God's ticked off Bush got re-elected.

[methinks2]

10. I 'm with you on that one.

[eleonora]

5. yeah. You forgot heat waves in Europe too

n/t

[catzies]

6. Here in Ventura County (home of the mudslides) we SHATTERED 1-day

rain totals. And that was on Sunday.

[Jack_Dawson]

8. Oh Catzies!

Forgot you lived there. You OK?

[catzies]

9. I can't go to work until Friday when the 101 reopens. Just announced

You think I'd be happy about staying home for a week. x(

The timing was just crazy. A few hours later, and we'd all be stuck at work and unable to get home. So it could have been worse.

And it's not like we had a tsunami, so counting blessings, ya know?

[GRLMGC]

32. I'm in Santa Barbara and my friend came to visit

She was supposed to go home yesterday back to L.A. She was stranded so today the Greyhound went up North to catch the 5 to come back down to L.A. This rain was extremely nasty.

[amandae]

16. I have a friend in Ventura - she called yesterday about your tornado watch

She was so shocked about it! Usually we're talking about MY tornado watches (I'm in KS)! Please be safe there. I heard about the third storm you are supposed to be getting this week. :hug:

I'm pretty spooked by the strange weather, too. Good thing we don't have a problem with global warming! :eyes:

[catzies]

20. A TV weatherman who was from Georgia and new to the job in LA said

"Two words I thought I'd never have to say again: tornado watch! And in California?!? That never happens!" :D

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

22. In OC we were getting 1/2 inch to one inch of rain every hour on Sunday

I had to take water out of the pool twice

[MnFats]

7. it's the tribulation, don't you see.

the fundies were right all along!


No, no. whew. where was I again?

[NYC]

11. Europe had worst storm in 40 years

according to the news yesterday. Tsunami was from the worst earthquake in 40 years. And I believe Ohio & environs said they were having the worst snow in 40 years.

[LiberalEsto]

19. Worst president in history

maybe that's got something to do with it

[elaineb]

12. Don't forget ice storms

In north-central Ohio, we've had, in addition to flooding, some pretty horrid ice storms, which in the last few weeks have caused massive power outages of as much as a week or more for tens of thousands of people. Not to compare this to the horrible rain devastation in California, but I thought I'd add this to the list, because it's one more sign of extreme weather that is very out of character for the time of year.

[goodboy]

18. took me 3 hours to chip the ice off my jeep...

[Dr.Phool]

13. I quit thinking about it

After the last hurricane hit my house.

[LifeDuringWartime]

14. no!

well, yes, but im hoping for the second snow day of the year tomorrow ;)

[Phentex]

17. Not freaky until the locusts arrive!

[LWolf]

21. My skylight has started leaking.

:grr:

This place already needs way more maintenance than I can afford to spend on it.

I'm not frightened; I just wish it would be a little more accomodating. I'd like to be able to turn it on and off on command, lol.

[grace0418]

23. We borrowed "The Day After Tomorrow"

from my husband's brother and watched it last week. It was weird enough seeing it after the tsunami, but then the next few days we started hearing about snow in Las Vegas and the storms in "sunny" So Cal. It was really freaking me out.

[miss_kitty]

24. tsunami, volcanoes-not weather related-though volcano activity

has been known to cause changes in the weather. I would not be surprised if the drenching of large areas by tsunamis cause climatic changes
but the rest-yes. as a professional gardener I notice A LOT of stuff happening at the wrong time of year the last few years.:scared:

[BiggJawn]

28. We have too.

My GF is a Master Gardener, and she says the EXACT same thing, "Stuff is happening at the wrong time of the year..."
She was picking up trash last week while I was out on my bike on that 62-degree day we had here in Horthern Indiana, and she saw tulips poking their noses through the mulch.

[ellie]

26. Yes, I have had a sinus

headache for five days now. I can't take it anymore! Here in NW Ohio it is supposed to be 58° tomorrow and on Friday it is supposed to be in the 20°s.

[tyedyeto]

27. My S/O is in Southern Utah where CNN (yech) has been...

reporting and showing video of a house sliding into a river. He called this evening and said he can't get to the jobsite 'cuz all the bridges are closed. He saw mobile homes floating down the river yesterday and told me an 18 hole golf course was completely washed out.
Wrath of a higher being? or just Mother Nature showing us she's watching out for her planet???

[Misunderestimator]

29. Except for Florida where it's sunny with lows in the 60s to high of 80

:D

But I agree that everything else is quite disturbing.

[Biased Liberal Media]

30. We had some blizzard-like conditions up here in Washington state

in Whatcom County. It was bizarre. We were stuck in our house all weekend long too. The wind gusts were up with 50 mph and it was snowing. Made for poor visiblity and hard driving on the roads. Many people ended up being blown off the road or driving into ditches up here.

Now the wind is blowing again and we're expecting MORE snow. Ugh...

ETA: now we have a "coastal flood watch" warning up. Lovely!!!! You know...we've been under flood watch since October...the rivers here have almost crested, crested in some places. Luckily we're not in a flood plain.

[Squatch]

31. Does it normally snow in the NW in the middle of the winter?

[Biased Liberal Media]

33. Yeah it usually snows around January...but I am not sure if

this blizzard-like condition is normal for WA. I'll tell you what though- there was a cold front that came down from Canada and that is what brought all this junk on.

Mr. BLM said it's the worst he's seen in years, and he grew up here (I grew up in California).
