WTF is up with the weather?

[sestree]

Hello?  didn't I leave this shit back in Kansas?

They've evacuated The Mall

Tornado Warning Howard County.

Tornado Warning Fairfax County - actually it's nice to know I've not lost my touch because I spotted the developing 'hook' on radar before they announced it.  Yes it's a skill I wish I didn't have - and never needed to use again.

On the less funny but equally strange note - it's amazing how the body goes IMMEDIATELY back into survivor mode.  'The humidity is lifting'  'Isn't that a hook?'  'Did you see that?'  'oooo my ears popped'. 'If one drops it will probably move due east. for a bit.' 

Oh how I wish my body didn't still instinctively remember the signs of a severe storm - often before I even realize that is what it is.  Why is it I can figure out which way is north when it storms?

I thought I was still a proud member of the directionally challenged.  I guess that's only during good weather eh?

Oh wow! They did evacuate the mall? I've been watching the Law and Order marathon and sleeping. I might be with it enough to go down to the Buddy Attack park and watch the fireworks.

Yep they made everyone on the National Mall go to the different museums near by. Boy am I glad we chose to give it a miss this year.

I'm going to stay home and bemoan the weather I thought I left behind - AND - Marylands sad lack of Tornado Sirens.
