Title: One of those nights....not ch related Post by Roxy on Jun 11th, 2003, 6:36pm Everyone here has 'those' nights when nothing can go right. We had a little excursion into that last night. Had watched the weather, and the weatherman said...'chance of thunderstorms'. About 8pm my daughter tells me to come out side to look at the clouds. Living in north Texas, that's never a good thing. But, since we weren't in a tornado watch or anything, I grabbed my camera and went to look. The clouds were so low you would have thought you could have grabbed them......and gorgeously frightening. This is what they looked like: http://pic7.picturetrail.com/VOL197/1132368/2136407/27106983.jpg http://pic7.picturetrail.com/VOL197/1132368/2136407/27106964.jpg I took a few pics, and the next thing we knew.....golf ball sized hail.....with no time to move the vehicles. So while we were inside thinking about a $1000 deductible for each car, the phone rang. My son works for Budweiser, loading keg trucks. They throw those things around like baseballs. Unfortunately, someone threw one into his face. The jaw wasn't broken, thank goodness, but about 5 teeth were. He used to be a relatively cute little boy...... ;D, and I'm sure he will be again, once the swelling goes down. I'm figuring a couple grand in dental work. At about 11pm, the storms returned, and we lost power for 5 hours.......no AC, no phones.......NO COMPUTER!!!!!! I got hit 3 times during all this, before the power went.....wasn't too worried about that....I can do a shot in the dark..... ;D Has anyone else had these type of nights.....or is this just endemic to us?????? |

I will tell you what, I have a couple of massive UPS power supplies I need to get rid of...real nice APC 1000va models. One of them will run my PC for almost two hours if I keep the subwoofer of-line. Holler at me if you are interested. ;D Always-on-line-Mark |

Title: Re: One of those nights....not ch related Post by Frank on Jun 11th, 2003, 7:41pm Had a major 6.8 earthquake in January 1994. The mirror (2-1/2 feet by 3-1/2 feet) on the dresser fell off and hit me in the face... damn near broke my nose... really rude way to wake up. And my wife fell... or rather was thrown on the floor from the shaking... and broke her ankle. Luckily I was not having a CH cycle then. |

sigh....I stepped away Pep, just a little too late! ;D Thanks for all the kind words......but, this is just an everyday thing at our house. If it's not storms and power outages....it's snakebites, sick cattle, dog fights, neighbors shooting dogs....etc...... Never, ever, boring though...... ;D Now my son has moved in a fraternity brother who needed a place to live.... ::)......I'm headed back out of town where it's safer..... ;) |

Title: Re: One of those nights....not ch related Post by TomM on Jun 13th, 2003, 8:41am Roxy--baby--ya jixed me or I jixned me. Either way, I think my house was hit by lightning last night. We had terrible T-Stroms in the DC area last night. So bad, I skipped my O's game to go home and found both garage door motors burnt, the electronic panel on the Maytag washer flashing a service call (it was not on--just plugged in), and many breakers popped. That's why God invented home owners insurance. :D TomM |

Title: Re: One of those nights....not ch related Post by CLR on Jun 13th, 2003, 9:18am Oh yes not to long ago I had one of those nights here in OKC, Tornado hit the south side close to where I live well that was enough to scare me to death let alone after I was safe, the tornado headed to GM where my husband works. I went crazy thinking he was still out there, thought I was going to lose my best friend. Aprilbee, I'm from Mi but out here on GM business let me tell ya I aint no storm chaser I run the other way. lol Roxy hope your son gets feelin better real soon, and you also have PF days. Storms out here are something else, Chicken Cindra, lol |
