Default Tornado warning FYI

Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone that is on the net and doesn't have the TV or radio on. A bad cell is in the Riverside NJ area and heading your way. Channel 6 just broke in... They're most concerned about the NE section of the city...

Just brought in all our loose items from the back yard, and warned the neighbors...

And right about now, BobGS is chanting "There's no place like home, there's no place like home.."

I was watching the storm cell online, and the radar showed the red, nasty bits were following the path of Pennypack Park, and passed right over our neighborhood! I kept checking outside, (camera in hand) but didn't hear or see anything other than some ominous looking clouds.

ITS TRUE! I heard among the wind and rain something sounding like a Freight Train!
I remembered that tornadoes sound like that!!! then it occurred to me -- that stupid train that rumbles thrugh Pennypack and over Krewstown Road. My bad.

Yeh, this area sucks. We never get any of the fun stuff like tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, forest fires, famine, etc...
In fact, the govt should give us all a rebate for never having to tap into the emergency relief money!

I hear ya Scca..
I never even lost electric power here from any storms, I never had any flooding, nuffin!
I guess living "on a hill" helps. (good drainage) I guess I'm lucky.
