Weird weather

North Olmsted, just outside Cleveland, had light cloud cover, which resulted in diffusion and lack of sharp edges.

I know North Olmstead! I lived in Westlake for my elementary school years.

 

[HotWheelz]

It was cloudy on and off, but just before and after totality the skies were clear. Best part was I didn't have to travel just hung out in my backyard. I didn't take any photos though as I didn't want to fry my phone.

 

[Dave]

I slept through it all.

 

[PatrThom]

I slept through it all.

I mean, when you've already seen hundreds, what's one more?

--Patrick

 

[Dave]

Exactly.

 

[GasBandit]

I actually was able to see one of the little red fire plumes with the naked eye. Well, it was more like a little red bright dot on the bottom right of the edge of the occlusion .

This looks like the opening of a post-apocalyptic movie.

"Then, one day, darkness fell over the land. And our world was never the same again."

 

[PatrThom]

This looks like the opening of a post-apocalyptic movie.

it is actually the plot of a story by Isaac Asimov, for one of the Black Widowers' Club stories.

Looking to the future, looks like August 12, 2045 will be the date of possibly the most expensive tickets to Disney World, ever.

 

[PatrThom]

I saw the 2044 and 2045 ones less than a year apart and thought to myself, "Looks like 2045 is the year Florida descends into panic, chaos, and ruin."

I kinda hope I'm alive to see the oligarchical hellscape the world will be then.

TIL the abbreviation for Guam is apparently OU? Maybe it's just extreme JPEG compression.

Thinking it's a compression thing because Guam's abbreviation is GU.

[PatrThom]

AK will kinda get its chance in August of 2044.

First thunderstorm of the season here in Omaha. Not really weird but it is weather.

 

[Dave]

Tornado warnings. Yay! Tornadoes on the ground all around me.

 

[ncts_dodge_man]

I'm watching a weather livestreamer - Tornado Emergency was to the Northwest of Omaha - between Ashland and Bennington were in the path of the major tornado.

Plus tornado warnings coming in from the south of Omaha.

 

[Dave]

I’m in Blair. Northeast of Omaha.

 

[ncts_dodge_man]

Blair is in that Tornado emergency - it's coming really close to there.

 

[ncts_dodge_man]

I’m in Blair. Northeast of Omaha.

Tornado confirmed on the ground just east of Blair.. and moving into Iowa (towards Modale)

 

[Dave]

Yeah it’s passed us, but it was really close to us. We have branches & shit all over. There are no trees on site.

 

[Sara_2814]

There’s another one south of Omaha (Cass & Sarpy counties). Emergency alert just went off on my phone again. We’re in the basement. Not a good day to be in Metro Omaha.

 

[Dave]

My son was able to muscle my two fat & scardey-cat dogs into the basement.

 

[ncts_dodge_man]

From the livestream - a storm chaser's view of the tornado as it moved into Iowa.

 

[ncts_dodge_man]

Here is the livestream.

 

[ncts_dodge_man]

My son was able to muscle my two fat & scardey-cat dogs into the basement.

Blair just got put under another warning and Omaha is picking up steam.

 

[Dave]

Yup. Back in shelter.

 

[Dei]

 

[Dave]

Wow. That’s not even real looking.

 

[ncts_dodge_man]

Wow. That’s not even real looking.

I saw that live on the stream - not that particular person's view, but like 4 or 5 others.

 

[Dave]

Tornadoes on the ground right now in Crescent, Iowa, Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Treynor, Iowa. At least 3 right now.
