Yesterday's Condo

Attie is bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning. The 134 is an anomaly as I am tossing out this morning quite a bit of uneaten rabbit from last night. :evil:

This mornings refrigerator fresh bunny was gobbled down with gusto and much lip smacking good sounds. So I front loaded this mornings serving and we shall see ....

Well lots of yard work waits for me this morning, before I need to make my pet sitting rounds. Limbs, trees, and leaves need to be cleaned up, washed off the house, and gutters cleared of them darn whirly bird seed pods from the maple trees. I may see if I can sneak in my truck for a storm damage inspection too. Darn lease vehicle, you know how the pinch you for every dent and ding. Plan a trip to the garden center later in the week to replace what was damaged in my veggie garden too. All those plants I started from seed...shredded, just shredded. I am looking at the hosta now and their leaves have just been shredded too from that darn storm/tornado. They do know it was a tornado as some brave soul(s) obtained actual pictures of the funnel(s). I am hearing there was a brief touch-down over on Nobottom Road. That is two streets and a small river over from me(less than a tenth mile). Scamp and his momma live over there, might swing by and check on them. The weatherman last night said the funnel 'glided' by the doppler tower at Cleve. Hopkins airport.

Well if the reports hold true, this is the third tornado I've been through in my lifetime.

From North Royalton, just about the time the weatherguy on the 6 o'clock news realized the fast moving storm had the hook echo. I wish I could have had the video of that broadcast from last night as there were no tornado warnings as yet, but he started immediately telling people in its path to take shelter in basements immediately. Seconds later the sirens went off, but the wind, rain, and hail made them just a faint muffled sound. Well ...this ain't getten my work done today.

Pray for Joplin today.

Very nice AMPS for Attie....Atta boy!

I'm sorry the wild storm destroyed all your plants and such. Glad you guys are safe and sound.

How are all the kitties doing w/their socialization lessons?
 
Re: 5/24/11 Atlas Amps 134

I'm so glad you are okay, and I hope Skamp and his ma are okay, too.
 
Re: 5/24/11 Atlas Amps 134

I hear heavy equipment at work over in the park(Nobottom Rd). Sounds like chainsaws and a tree shredders.

Yeah...we're all OK, thanks. Small tornado. I heard a report of a minor injury from at the mall where the food court wall collapsed. Just lots of damage everywhere.

Re: 5/24/11 Atlas Amps 134

Oh your poor plants! I think I'm grateful that I just have to deal with snow up here. I couldn't imagine it.
 
Re: 5/24/11 Atlas Amps 134, +2 97

Thanks guys...yeah it was quite intense. Check last nights condo too.

I am finally settling down and it looks like Attie is too....we have a green number! Guess the insulin is just fine!

It is hard to imagine. Something like this stirred up by mother nature can disrupt so much in minutes. We had one intense storm about 5 years ago that sent me to the basement too. But, admittedly...last night was worse. They say it sounds like a freight train, well the trains run close by and it sounded like a train...only much, much louder.
 
Re: 5/24/11 Atlas Amps 134, +2 97

Glad you are all safe. It is so aggravating to have all of your plants destroyed like that. Grrrr. :-x Good luck with the clean up.

Attie just wanted fresh bunny. :smile:
 
Re: 5/24/11 Atlas Amps 134, +2 97

That AMPS sure doesn't look like an anomaly. Nice numbers! Maybe that's Attie's sigh of relief.

I'm very glad you and the kitties are OK.

Maybe it isn't an anomaly? Looks like there may be a surf setting up.

Wow...I haven't ventured over to Nobottom Rd. and everything is still majorly wet. Putting on some more coffee, checking up here on Attie. And the chainsaws are still running across the way. Sounds like they got pounded over there.

Facebook and WKYC have viewers sending in video of the tornado that came through. Course they are saying funnels as no one has come forward with a confirmed touchdown.... :roll: Yeah...they're just clouds until they touchdown.

Very nice #s today, Atlas! :)

My thoughts and prayers are with those that lost loved ones from yesterday's storms. I pray that everyone remains safe.
 
Re: 5/24/11 Atlas Amps 134, +2 97, +3 99

Oh yikes! Wow! Too close!
I'm so glad you got yourself and the kitties to the basement in time. You never know if a tornado like that will hit you directly or maybe a huge tree will come down even if not directly hit by the funnel.

Did your kitties seem especially alert or nervous or give you any indication that they could feel the pressure changes or anything? I always wonder if some animals are more sensitive to this. I don't think my kitties would give me a heads up. The last storm here which was very bad and we had damage... they just continued their lounging and napping. Sheesh, big help they were.... not.

I'm sorry about the mess around your home and the kitchen garden casualty. I hope there are some plants that will rejuvenate if the roots are still intact.

(((hugs)))

Attie is real super sensitive to storms. Rain for that matter, so using him as a barometer is useless. But, as I was watching the weather guy last night tracking the severe thunderstorm...all three cats started running here and there in the middle hallway of the house. You'll note from last nights condo the forecaster noted the hook echo while on live TV and projected out the hit directly over my city. He turned to confirm with Dick Goddard (forecaster here for over 50 years) and they were telling people to seek shelter immediately. Even before the National Weather Service issued the watch/warning. It formed real fast and blew the storm blew through at 50 mph. Of course the winds themselves were much, much more intense.

I have been posting stuff on my FB wall of the funnel clouds folks recorded.

Yard is cleaned up. Neighbor came over with leaf blower and did the driveway once the leaves dried out a little. Garden is definitely shot. Lots of trees down in the area.

Attie has decided to go on a rise...I hope he does jump to far up the scale. He didn't drop that low.

... Microburst /straight line wind damage/ southwestern
Cuyahoga County...

Location... from North Olmsted to Berea to Middleburg Heights
date... may 23rd 2011
estimated time... 7:00 to 7:30 PM EDT
estimated wind speed... 65 to 75 mph
Max path width... unknown
path length... unknown

* the information in this statement is preliminary and subject
to change pending final review of the event and publication in
NWS storm data.

... Summary...
a non continuous path of wind damage occurred from North Olmsted to
Berea to middle burgh heights. There were several microbursts along
this line where stronger winds occurred. Many trees were broken or
uprooted. There were a few structures that sustained damage from
trees falling onto them.

Well that is a load of BS, especially with all the photos of the funnel cloud itself.
 
Beth: I saw your pictures last night but we had alot going on so I didn't get to post but I am so thankful you all are ok. What a night (and day) you have had.

I'm so happy to see Attie finally down!!!! What a great morning cycle!! So you know this dose will work for him!

I hope the storms stay away and you all stay safe.
