I had to go to Home Bake & Candy Shop to pick up a cake for a birthday party this evening. They were only open from 10-1 today, so my husband and I headed over there right at noon. We went by way of Hwy 49 and were going to get off on 7th Street since the bakery is on the corner of 7th/25th. Ha! Big mistake. We had to get back on 49 and go further down and come down 25th. We got down to the end of 25th where it meets 7th street, and it was so flooded, the bakery had water up to the bottom of its doors. The water was so deep, there was no way we could even drive down to their parking lot. We pulled over in behind that Jr Food Mart and I was about to send a text msg to google for Home Bake's phone number to see if they were even open when a woman walked up to our car, no umbrella; she was getting drenched. She asked if we were there to pick up a cake, and we told her yes and our name, so she headed back to the bakery. As she walked through the water and got about halfway back to the bakery, she was wading through waist-deep waters. I couldn't believe it. Then she brought our cake out to us and since I didn't have any cash (they don't take checks) I had to pay with my debit card. So she went back inside to run my card and then bring it back out to us with a receipt. When she brought our receipt to us, she laughingly said, "I'm asking my boss for a raise!" Can't say I blame her! haha!

So thanks to HOME BAKE & CANDY SHOP for going above and beyond today!

Drove down to Wiggins today for a crawfish boil - Yum! Left Oak Grove about 11:15, had heavy rain and lightning until around the Stone County line on 49, then nothing until we left around 1:15 or so - they were getting some rain and wind was picking up. Heavy rain all the way back to the Forrest County line then nothing until we got back to Oak Grove, where we had one last downpour that lasted about two minutes and now its clearing up quite a bit.

[No-Halo]

Maggie-Doodle agrees: yeah, like he needs something "else" to go on his resume...afterall he already has "easter bunny!" Sorry Noway, I couldn't resist! :smile:


We could just call him "The Weather Bunny" from now on. :-D

[Maggie-Doodle]

Thank God everyone got thru the storms ok...it sure was touch and go there for awhile...according to my rain gauge we have had over 3 1/2 inches of rain...most of that within about an hour. We got pics of Gordons Creek..I will try and post them later on..the creek here by FGH was full to the top! I was praying really hard it would slack up so the creek would have a chance to empty....I was afraid if it spilled over in my yard my fish would swim out of "their" pond!

Everyone, hang in there for awhile, maybe it will soon all be over...the sun is shining, so that is a good sign I suppose.

[carsalesguy]

michelle states that there is about 6" of the fence at the end of our flood zone sticking up at the top of the water...........

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

We got just a little over 4 inches of rain out 42 in Petal. I have never seen so much rain so fast.

[Michelle]

less than that in one area. i got pictures.... so did Becca

[Hermione]

I got some serious water in my carport. Badly need a swale cut along on side of my house to keep the water from backing up into the carport.

[zorro]

My father-in-law builds houses (not in Hattiesburg) and he always told me never to buy a house where water can cause a problem. He specifically instructed me to never to buy a house where water from someone else's property could run down on my property. I took his advice and both houses that my wife and I have owned in Hattiesburg have been on the highest hill on the street. :)

Why am I not surprised that you live "above" everyone else? :smt118

And, let me guess....your house is built "on a rock" too?

My house is higher than the house on the west but the water gets into my carport anyway. When tree guys were running equipment back and forth last year they made a trough and that kept the water out, but the trough has filled itself in. Just hate to spend $$$ like that. But that's houses.

[TerriL]

Wow! It's very windy here in Ellisville. The sun was out one minute, and the next minute ..the sky was getting dark and the wind picked up. Are we supposed to get more rain tonight?

[maxim]

Fronts coming through. Went from 77 degrees to 60 degrees in Oak Grove over the past few hours.

No rain on the radar so should be dry.

I just left a dance recital at the Saenger Theater...I had parked my car in the parking lot between the parking garage and Mag Fed. As I approached my car it was shaking from the wind whipping thru the lot.

After I got in and locked the doors, while I was putting on my seat belt etc. I could feel my car shake like someone was on the bumper shaking the frame up and down.

[Petal Polk]

I live out in Sunrise outside of Petal. A small tornado touched down Saturday morning only about one mile through the woods from my house. My husband was out of town and I was by myself. I had to get in the closet with a pillow over my head. I'm not good with bad weather.

Now it is cool and windy. I was just getting used to the wonderful spring weather.

[noway]

No - Halo is it still raining in Petal? :smt105

[Hermione]

A friend at church lives in a cul-de-sac off of Kensington (south of Hardy and west of 40th, north of Jamestown) said they had FOUR lightning strikes around their house. Got a manhole cover twice in two separate strikes, got two trees in the backyard. Apparently missed the mailman by about a minute.

[Kitty]

We lost all power around 10AM and I heard transformers booming.

We got power back within an hour so they must have rerouted ours on a different grid, 'cause there's no way the power co. fixed all those downed lines in that short time, as they hadn't even shown up when I left the scene. For some crazy reason, we're on Pearl River Valley out of Purvis. . .

We are on PRVEPA here in Oak Grove, and our power was out when we got home around 1:15 this afternoon. I don't know how long it was off, but it came back on within ten minutes of us getting home.

My guess is the outage was wind related. :confused:

Please correct me if my memory has failed me, but I seem to remember as many tornadoes around Laurel and Ellisville back in the 60's as there are in the entire state of Kansas. Don't know what brings them in that area but it seems to be something there that attracts tornadoes. Maybe how LHS got it's mascot, huh?

[TerriL]

Wow-its beautiful today. Its amazing what difference a day can bring. It's a bit windy for my taste, tho.

[Conveyor Belt]

Wakey, wakey... everyone hear that thunder??? I was like, WTF WAS that???

Ka-BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM

[fuzzis]

Why does my puppy always need to go out when there's lightning outside? :confused:

fuzzis

[SoMissTV]

Yeah, I was unaware that we would have thunder tonight.

My dog is asleep.

[big john]

Why does my puppy always need to go out when there's lightning outside? :confused:

fuzziscause he's gotta doo doo

[fuzzis]

cause he's gotta doo doo

Actually, she did that earlier. She was asleep. Thunder and lightning and all of the sudden she needs to go out. Since it wasn't raining she didn't pee on the porch, but...:confused:

[Hermione]

So much for choir practice. Time to hunker down. I'll have a GigantaCat in here on my lap at the first sound of thunder.

[carsalesguy]

let me try to get some pics for ya

[cubby 1]

[Bahlk]

Still showing west of McComb now but should be here before nighttime

[Maggie-Doodle]

I hate bad weather any time but most especially at night! I just saw on the weather update that they are expecting it in here between 9-10 p.m. and morning time. UGH! :(

[carsalesguy]

i guess that means that i get to drive thru it

[Hermione]

It looks like it's moving faster than that. Radar is showing some pop-up storms right at us. I'm with you on nighttime storms. I like to see what's happening.

[58ford]

The radar looks like a couple of small storm cells are hitting Hattiesburg in a little while, but the big bad stuff is just crossing the Mississippi River.
http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/outdoors/map/interactive/39401?from=36hour_map_large&animation=true&zoom=7&interactiveMapLayer=radar

[carsalesguy]

looks like i'm going to see this storm first

[carsalesguy]

if what i am experiencing now is anything what is to come, it's going to be bad

we are having 35 MPH constant winds with 45mph wind gusts.....

a salesman has a wind meter, and that's what it is saying outside my door.

temp also dropped 10 or so degrees

[Bahlk]

That is a little piece carguy. It should clear up for a little bit for you then the big storm comes a little bit later according to radar.

[jojobeans1120]

WDAM said it shouldn't get to us until around 10 pm or so, I think.

[carsalesguy]

we have had some light rain- sprinkling more or less tho-

[Baloo]

I hope that everyone stays safe through it all down there...

We have a blizzard going on up here right now... Snow blowin' everywhere and creating huge, impassible drifts...

[Maggie-Doodle]

Glad it is you in the snow and not me! I have been enjoying the warmth! :) Thank goodness it didn't get as bad around here as they thought it might. A little thunder and lightening and rain. I just checked my rain gauge and I had and inch and a quarter. It has cooled down some...damp cool. I hope the sudden temp change doesn't make people sick. Stay warm up there and HURRY home!

[Baloo]

Thanks Maggie-D! I am glad that everyone made it through the storm unscathed! I am also happy to hear that we got more rain. I know that my poor fruit trees, flowers and grass need the water! Not much longer...

[SouthChic]

It's just starting to rain here in Petal. I was sitting here about five minutes ago, before it started raining, and a LOUD BANG of thunder scared the crap out of me and my poor dog. LOL! Now it's pouring. Good sleeping weather. :)

[Bahlk]

Yep, feels like naptime

[Conveyor Belt]

Yep, feels like naptime

I'm going to take one in just a minute...

[amanda]

Got a band of some wicked stuff at the Walthall County line. I would imagine that we will start feeling the effects of this little whooper in the next hour.

[carsalesguy]

SLIGHT overcast skies here in brandon- but hot

[SouthChic]

It just stopped raining in Petal. Quick shower... maybe more to come.

[Maggie-Doodle]

I heard thunder here, ran out to the deck to let the umbrella down cause the wind was picking up..rain was peppering down at a good pace...NOW it has stopped and the sun is back out...It looks by radar that we might get more later though....the darn deck didn't even get wet good and now it has evaporated!

[SouthChic]

The sun is back out. :D

[Bahlk]

For the time being, the big stuff is on it's way

[SouthChic]

Yeah, that's the only bad thing about having satellite. :smt086 The bad weather makes it go nuts. :smt101

[amanda]

The bad cell is right at the Marion/Walthall county line. It's starting to get real dark and windy. I imagine my satelite will be kicking off just any ol'minute. Keep you heads up out there.

[Bahlk]

Be careful Amandah and let us know what we are in for when you're in the clear.

[amanda]

Looks like we will be missing the brunt. It's raining, but falling apart on radar. H'Burg may miss all of it but a sprinkle.

[No-Halo]

Looks like we're gonna be in for a good one tonight...it's headed east.

[PathFinder]

Looks nasty...anybody heard what time its gonna roll through?

[No-Halo]

Just watching the motion I'd say between midnight and 2am.

[Hermione]

YIKES! I do not like the red stuff.

[fuzzis]

:ohnoes: :ohnoes: :ohnoes:

[carsalesguy]

[PathFinder]

Desktop Weather just popped up, Lamar/Forrest Co. under a Tornado Watch till 4AM

[No-Halo]

For now. :clap:

[amanda]

Maybe it will all fall apart like it did today.

[SoMissTV]

Maybe it will all fall apart like it did today.

Or maybe it won't...

Nick said the worst of it will probably be here between 1-4am. :(

[amanda]

oooooorrrrr.....maybe not. :smt105

[SouthChic]

I sure hope not!!

[Maggie-Doodle]

I hate it when bad weather comes during the night! Well actually I hate severe stuff anytime by most especially at night!

[amanda]

Me too. I'll be pacing till it passes. Glad Butterball is too busy at work to realize bad weather is coming. He can't stand to be off-shore and away from his family when bad weather is around.

Wait a sec - - that's a map of the tube system in London.

(I unplugged everything but the computer, made a thermos of coffee, and came back on here. Can't sleep.)
