Lea Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 All done Now I gotta clean my house. Isn't this twitter thing fun? We all do such interesting things
MarcM Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 I just sent one of my units to assist the neighboring sheriff's station in evacuations due to a brush fire near houses. The fire is about 5 miles from my house.
pinkstones Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 I am currently drying my hair. Although with how humid it is outside right now, I should probably go stand on my porch.
MarcM Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 tO ADD TO THE EXCITEMENT, AN AMTRAK BUS (THAT HAD NO PASSENGERS) CAUGHT ON FIRE ON THE 5 FREEWAY JUST NORTH OF THE FIRE AND STARTED ITS OWN BRUSH FIRE NEAR SOME MOBILE HOMES. AND YOU KNOW HOW GOD HATES MOBILE HOMES.
MarcM Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 GOOD NEWS! THE FIRES ARE CONTAINED AND THEY ARE SENDING MY UNIT BACK. HOPE THE WINDS DONT CHANGE. BAD ENOUGH THAT IT IS 104 OUT THERE.
Shawna Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 we are under severe thunderstorm warning here. I love me a good thunderstorm. The winds are ferocious.
Kevin Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Posted July 18, 2009 Keep an eye out for tornado warnings , though , if it's been so hot there and you have such a sudden change to thunderstorms - or have they been slowly building all day ?
Shawna Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 naw, we don't get tornadoes in Phoenix. It's monsoon season, though... winds come and go. Thunderstorm warning is all over... no thunder. *sigh*
MarcM Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 i used to love the thunders storms that would go through Bullhead City during monsoon season. I used to go off road out there. I just had to make sure I got to high ground, but stay in my truck. Got the flash floods below and the lighnin' up high!
Kevin Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Posted July 18, 2009 I just get a kick out of you guys using this term 'monsoon' ... is it common ? I never heard it before when I lived in N.America . If so , come to Asia and we'll show you a monsoon ! In fact , I'll see yer monsoon and raise you a typhoon !
Levis Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 I miss the monsoon - nothing quite like it in this part of the world. You need that unbearable level of hot humidity before the rain kicks in. Or at least you hope it kicks in - it's a bit of a gamble...
pinkstones Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 I love thunderstorms. We congregate on the porch and watch the lightning. It's something my dad did with my sister and I when we were younger and it just stuck.
pinkstones Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 I can always tell when it's about to storm. The temperature drops and the winds pick up. If I'm outside, that means I have about 5-10 minutes to get inside or go somewhere to escape the rain. I'm usually never wrong.
Kevin Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Posted July 18, 2009 Yeah , you learn to smell rain coming . I miss the quick and powerful storms at home . Here , they may linger on for days depressing the h*ll out of you .
pinkstones Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Ah, the splash-and-dashers. We get those down here all the time. It's the humidity. It'll be clear blue skies and sunshine and 10 minutes later, the sky is black and it's raining so hard you can't see 3 feet in front of your face. My sister and I went to Wrightsville Beach a few weeks ago and it was a perfect June Saturday - until it decided to storm like a you-know-what and send us on our 3 1/2 hour drive home a tad bit early.
Lucky Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Y'all stop talking about rain & storms & thunder & lightning. You're making me sad.
edna Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 I' m homesick... I was born in a humid city by the sea and now I live in a dry place in the middle of Spain.
pinkstones Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Listening to the catty teenage girls across the street yell and scream at each other.
TheLizard Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 If their altercation becomes physical, film it. Please.
pinkstones Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 If their altercation becomes physical, film it. Please. LOL....these girls don't strike me as the "powder puff/pillow fight" types. They've stopped now, but when the brouhaha was at its zenith, I could have seen one of the girls throwing a rock at someone's head. They were arguing about boys and Miley Cyrus. Thank God I'm not a teenager anymore. Right now I'm enjoying some homemade caramel kettle corn from the Farmer's Market we went to earlier.
