The Friday night storm was a heller, here in Kanawha county.

[Hubert Flottz]

Trees down everywhere, power off for a week in parts of the state, food and fuel in short supply due to power outages. Another 100+ degree day expected today. Temp. yesterday was 106 outside my house. The storm that went through here Friday stripped the leaves and limbs off of trees and tore down my neighbor's tractor shed. Large maple limbs on my other neighbor's roof, roads blocked, hotels and motels packed or without utilities. River fest and fireworks called off. No free Karaoke, funnel cakes or dunking booth. Nowhere to go, no fun to stay! Beer warm and almost all gone!!!!

Other than that things are about normal in the area!

1. Seems like the country using the most fossil fuel and natural resources is the one getting

hit on the head. I don't see any tornadoes, hurricanes, blazes, or earthquakes in Iraq of late. Maybe we could rethink our approach to things.... maybe it's all in my head and means little or nothing.

4. "maybe it's all in my head and means little or nothing"

Maybe, but...Whatever we did, or didn't do, we got paid back Friday! I hope the Great Spirit is at peace now.

Maybe it was because I was born on Friday 13th? I might need to reprogram my medicine bag?

5. Mother earth is upset and I don't think the chipmunks are the instigators. n/t

2. i got hit friday night with 75mph winds that started hooking..

but luckily it did`t turn into a tornado. power was restored last night around 11.
for some reason storms seem to like the area i live in. right now it`s 85 oh well, won`t be be low 90 till at least friday.

i guess i`d better get out and clean up the yard.

3. The yard cleaning is still going on around here too.

Looks like there will be plenty of firewood. I watched the storm go through here from a "safe" location. Heck of a show. Mother nature was on a Friday night rampage. Better take plenty of water breaks in the shade out there today.

6. I have power and water. Yay! N/T

7. ME TOOO!

[MadAnne]

8. Oh yes lot and lots.

9. I just now got back online.

Power went out Friday, back on Tuesday. Telephone land line is still out. We don't get wireless here. Think I'll drag out that Magic Jack I never got around to hooking up. Maybe not. I kinda like it when the phone's out.

Friday night we cut a big sycamore out of the main road but I haven't started on my yard yet. It looks like a war zone.

10. Same here.

I think the easiest thing to do is apply for a wildlife habitat designation.

12. My yard looked like a war zone too.

And then a dust bowl. You don't need to go after your firewood, your firewood will come after you!(act of Gawd)

Sounds I'm mowing through a rock pile when I mow, but if I get a good run at my pile of tree limbs in my yard with my old riding mower, I can run all the way through the limbs before she bogs down. A few more weeks those limbs will be sawdust! I started writing a love song about it called, 'I chased my girlfriend around the yard and finally kissed her between the limbs'
