Mother Nature is Testing Us

A tornado was spotted and radar indicated on Tuesday. That was during our heavy thunderstorm with hail at our house. Obviously it was very week and in an developed area.

This is a closer view and the funnel has changed shape.

We were under a tornado warning all day yesterday in upstate NY. It was very scary I was glued to the tv. There was damage more north from me. Nobody was hurt thank God.

We had a drought all Spring that led to the conditions for forest fires. Then we had the floods which will continue every time it rains because of the burn scars. Now we get a tornado.

@Pecky I grew up in Lewis County and lots of FB friends are posing photos of flood damage from that area. They have never seen anything like it.

@On It I'm hoping that the tornado will disappear and go back to the sky where it belongs. I'm glad to hear that you and your house are ok after the fires. Mother Nature needs to calm down and relax!

@Pecky

There were 3 confirmed tornadoes that touched down in Western New York yesterday.

Not something we regularly see.....the damage was far South of me and no one was hurt.

That tornado looks scary. Yikes!

We had a hot 100 degrees here in PA yesterday and were under a tornado watch. Thankfully, it never showed up.

We had bad rain storms in the late afternoon...really bad. They it cleared up and was nice into the evening.

Today, it is COLD and cloudy. The temp is supposed to be 70, but because it is windy it feels colder, more like a fall day.

Crazy weather, for sure. We are at our summer place wearing sweatshirts in July.

I live in SC and we see our share of tornadoes. Very scary. There is nothing you can do when it's coming your way except prepare yourself and get to your "safe place". Btw those are great pics @On It

@RespectLife I did see that on the news. Here is a picture someone took not far from me.

Mother Nature seems to always be "testing" somebody!

You today...Who tomorrow? Be safe!
