The hail entered the bar. I picked some up and it melted

I'm here (briefly) and it's as if God flipped the switch.

Have no idea why I posted that. Anyway came to post no thunder or rain (although maybe there was some earlier) just some sort of ominous wind out there.

I thought for sure that the power plant in LIC had exploded

calstars, Monday, 2 May 2022 10:46 (one year ago) link

For a while I kept seeing the lightning before hearing any thunder and was wondering if there was some kind of mirror truck outside on the street.

Wile E. Is President (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 2 May 2022 10:50 (one year ago) link

That was fucking nuts. I too had the exploding power plant theory.

I’ve also never heard the “timpani roll” part of the crash be so long and so deep

covidsbundlertanze op. 6 (Jon not Jon), Monday, 2 May 2022 12:35 (one year ago) link

dan selzer, Monday, 2 May 2022 13:04 (one year ago) link

kept setting off car alarms on my street

Wile E. Is President (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 2 May 2022 22:54 (one year ago) link

Under severe watch but right now still the calm before, I guess.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much sustained lightning. Just hours of lightning.

No storm other than a drizzle, just an f-ton of fireworks going off.

FUCKING INSANE.

Posted some stories from my walk to kid's school. Last time it flooded like this in Woodside, cars were literally being picked up and tossed down the street. I was tempted to go back home but I have a meeting today at my shop and had left my computer there so couldn't work from home anyway. It's just a few blocks but I got absolutely drenched. Definitely shouldn't have worn sneakers. It's really really bad out there.

dan selzer, Friday, 29 September 2023 12:38 (seven months ago) link

I was already planning to go in to work late but if this keeps up I may bail entirely. I love a good storm but that is s but much
