I hope all my fellow reloaders are good.

It's climate change I tell ya....all these kids forcing us to stop burning fossil fuels are messing up Mother Nature's groove. She's pissed! :D

It’s the Lithium and Cobalt mining for the Li-Ion car batteries. It’s messing with the Earth’s magnetic fields and causing the Van Allen belts to shift. Electric cars will be the end of us! :eek:
 
We escaped tornadoes here in my community, but we have experienced gale-force winds all day, and now our hemlock tree is leaning over and appears ready to topple onto our side porch...:(...looks like a day of chain-sawing is looming in my near future.
 
We had several touch down here in Arkansas yesterday afternoon. One touched down in West Little Rock, traveled diagonally through Little Rock, North Little Rock, skirted the South side of Sherwood about 1.5 miles from where I live and then on up to Jacksonville. State wide I think there were 3 fatalities and dozens of injuries. There were about 90,000 customers without power this morning.

I have to say that channel 7 did a great job of tracking these storms and warning the people in the storms path. They no doubt saved many lives.

I am glad y'all are all ok. I have noticed the weather folks have become more involved in the tracking aspects. While they sometimes get it incorrect, I'd rather be safe then sorry.
 
This is the middle of hurricane alley. Luckily none have come close since 1999. A tornado touched down in the back yard Memorial Day weekend in 1999. That was a small tornado but it caused $38,000 in damage.


West fence fell toward the east. East fence went both ways.

All the bad stuff when north and south of me. Had a few small branches and dead pine trees come down and that was it. The trees were blocking my 200-300 yrds range. All cleaned up and moved to my burn pile.

They can track it on radar in real time. When they told us it was 10 miles away traveling at 55mph I grabbed the Cat and shoved Her into Her crate, grabbed my pistol, wallet, phone and Wife and we all headed to an inside hallway.
 
It barely missed us. In more ways than one… the storms hit hard just about 15 miles north as the crow flies. It took out windows and whatnot in several older buildings around town there, and knocked the 3rd floor down into the 2nd at a popular restaurant. Thankfully they shut down early. Sad thing is that we have been looking at houses and we were considering putting an offer on one, but now it’s got serious damage from a huge tree that rootballed and got into it. The tree was one of the big positives about that house too. Without the tree we aren’t interested.
 
All of you stay safe.

Windy here, blowing in a snow storm tonight.

My biggest concern is the 60’ of snow in the Sierras and our forecasted high for the 11th is 75. Our high tomorrow is gonna be 33, next Monday, 69. That stuff is gonna melt FAST!!!
 
Went to the range today at my dad's house. Pretty windy from the storms still so we decided to walk the property and check out the damage at his house instead. Lots of trees down, and some fences down. It took out 2 of his neighbors barns. One is completely gone, and metal stretched out over 1/2 a mile. My dad even has parts of the neighbor's barn in his fields. We figured it missed my dad's house by roughly 75 yards.

Looks like we will be cleaning up for a while, but the range survived.:thumbup: Screenshot_20230402_214835_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20230402_214840_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20230402_214901_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20230402_215015_Gallery.jpg
 
No tornadoes. Just the blizzard. We were out of power for roughly 12 hours, and had a mountain of a snowdrift to cut through with the snowblower.

I've seen tornado and SL wind damage first hand far too many times for work, and never wish to see it on my property. God bless those who were less fortunate, and the EMS, line crews and volunteers helping people and communities pick up the pieces and get things back to normal.

I hope you live (or have a nearby refuge) on high ground. I expect to see a lot of California flooding pics on the internet soon, unfortunately.
