[metal protector]

just looked at the radar, and saw some stuff heading this way. :clap: It is hot out there right now

[Kitty]

There are some nasty clouds moving north from the Purvis area.

Oak Grove should be getting some rain within 10-15 minutes.

[Kitty]

Well, it took closer to 30 minutes, but the rain is here in my little corner of Oak Grove.

I hope it's a good soaking rain. Despite yesterday's rain, our yard still needs some water. :p

[dream member]

I think I brought some of the rain from Hattiesburg with me- it's rained a lot since I've been back here.

[amanda]

It's crappy in Marion Cty.

[Hermione]

Hawk, you can go inside, take off the feathers and bells, and oh, I dunno, take a nap or sumthin' -- I am getting some serious rain. Hope those holes I dug alongside the carport alleviate the flooding a little bit.

I think his rain-dancing has only been working seriously for Marion County. We've had rain every day for over a week now. :smt118

[eyescene]

Deep down pour dark and dreary here in Sumrall!

[wilebill]

Looks like Amandah is getting pounded right about now.

[amanda]

Nah. Give it time, it'll happen here too. :laugh:

[Hermione]

Oh shoot, I'm right at the tail end of that. I'm either gonna get a foot of rain or nothing.

[wilebill]

In any other thread except this one...I thought of that after I posted.

I am, of course, talking about rain. :smt118

[amanda]

It rained buckets here. Good luck to ya. It doesn't last long though.

[Maggie-Doodle]

getting dark here by FGH...let it rain...then I don't have to do yard work...I am tired and need a break! Rain is a good excuse and besides it is still dry!

[Hermione]

Got a good downpour, but not excessive!

[amanda]

Weather is coming. Just thought ya'll like to know. :smt105

[amanda]

If you live in Prentiss - batten down the hatches.

[OLDLADY]

Dixie getting a pretty big beating right now........

[PathFinder]

Dark clouds starting to roll into the 'Burg now...Thanks Amanda and Oldlady for the updates!

[amanda]

The "big" part of the storm will be just north of the Burg. But Prentiss, etc., will be getting strong winds, hail, lightening. Getting dark here again, so maybe another one behind it. I'll letcha know when I know. At a big ol'whopping 26.4. ;)

WOW 26.4 eh...by the time the post gets sent the storm will be upon us. :laugh:

[ComputerDude]

I'm looking at rain around the building I work in, and partly sunny skies just beyond them.
Weird.

[amanda]

WOW 26.4 eh...by the time the post gets sent the storm will be upon us. :laugh:


Yep. That's why I'm trying to give notice as soon as possible. But then again, by the time you get this, the storm may have blown my office off the map. :-D

[58ford]

A friend just called from a little south of the Burg on 49. He asked me to check the weather on line cause it was getting real bad down there.

[58ford]

Yeah, We just had a turd floater on 49 South and lightening stuck the pea patch. :smt118
Cool.

.....Hey Hawk, you're not using an excessively large fornt are you?

[ComputerDude]

Okay, there is a large black ominous cloud outside our window now.

[Fish-Bait]

Lightnin' just struck outside my office. Like right outside, too close, me scared now. Mommy.

[ComputerDude]

I guess somebody didn't like my "poo yourself" post. lol

[ComputerDude]

we just had an extremely close lightning strike.

[mac]

It didn't do much over here. It rained fairly heavily for about 5 minutes, and then drizzled.

[eyescene]

Jes It was bad bad here lots of low lighting! Scary but it seems to be OK now!

[Kitty]

Here in the Weather Channel's West Hattiesburg :-D part of Lamar County, our electricity kept going off, with lots of wind gusts. I don't think I've seen the trees bending like that since Katrina.

Wind gusts like that probably brought down some Katrina-weakened trees, or limbs at the very least.

[big john]

Its getting better here on the ave.'s

[big john]

uh oh,I think spoke to soon,looks like another one coming.

[dasmybaby]

Whoohooo, slows down just as I will be getting home... I'll try to bring a cool breeze with me!

[bpitt]

Wow, the wind got bad here about an hour or so ago. The top out of one of our trees, which is alive, blew out and barely missed my kids playhouse! I'd been pissed if it had hit it............not as bad as my kids though.

[Hermione]

Whoohooo, slows down just as I will be getting home... I'll try to bring a cool breeze with me!

You do that, please! Have a safe trip home!
