Bad news: Tornado watch until 4am or thereabouts.

Good news: Ginchy thunderstorm which allowed me to stupidly go out on the porch and snap off pictures until I caught some lightning. Man, I’m an idiot. The lights in the foreground, incidentally, are my neighbor’s house.

  8. Sorry, I’m from Mars, not from Venus. I feel horrible about your loss, which is the only reason I would venture to offer advice on preventing it instead of snickering about the fragility of your system…

  12. That’s one of the few upsides about living in the USA, you get all the cool weather. We never get fun stuff like that here in Scotland.
