CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

Wow - so glad ya'll are ok. Earlier in the week we were told we'd catch some of it too - but thankfully it went well north of us. We had clouds and wind all day, but not a drop of rain. So sad about all the devastation and loss of lives...

Would ya'll believe we only got TWO INCHES of rain? The amount of water in the various tubs around here suggest we got a lot more. My husband said maybe the rain blowing sideways just couldn't get in the rain gauge. That is very possible. I thought for sure that it would be over flowing. I haven't walked fence lines yet, but all the animals are present and accounted for.

Really glad all is intact there. We have .75" in the gauge so far, but constant rain all morning. Guess we've been given the day off, for the most part....still have to tend to the Beasts....Inside.........but, the ducks will surely Love their outing today for sure....

really glad youall are ok. I worried about all of you. we got some nice rain, and a few thunder boomers but that was about it. late Friday night a tornado went a couple of miles to the west of us but thankfully no one was injured, just property damage. I don't have a weather radio but I listen to a police scanner during bad storms. the counties around me in ark. and ok. have weather spotters and deputy's who keep an eye on everything and chat quite a bunch and that gives me real time info instead of waiting for reports. the nasty stuff yesterday went just to the south of us. felt bad for the folks that were getting hammered. and no @Latestarter it still hasn't filled my pond up. youall stay safe.

According to the last minute or so of this video, 3 of the fatalities were from an accident when 2 storm chasers collided.

@Mike CHS y'all be Safe over there...looks like a leading edge is headed at ya over there.

 

[Mike CHS]

We just had a Thunderstorm come through with a lot of wind - hopefully we will stay on the edge of it.

We are up to 1.3" here.. they are predicting a rapid rise in the River and counties over there are taking precautions or moving things from low lying areas.

Glad everyone is alright!!

We are currently at 3/4" with another 1/2" forecasted today and tomorrow.

That second video was pretty cool @greybeard, I've not seen videos of tornadoes when they are just forming. Sad about the 3 chasers.
