Stay safe in the southeast today. Awful weather overnight and it's going to crawl by today. Definitely need to bring in the lawn furniture, etc..
[MENTION=38380]Suzanimal[/MENTION] might be in it already (I never remember exactly where you are).

Great opportunity to remind members that this is the time of year that the National Weather Service holds local severe weather spotter training. Check with your local emergency services. The training takes about 3 hrs is free and there is no requirement that attendees become registered spotters.

Could be power outages.

She is in Atlanta. I am currently in Sarasota Fl, south of skyway bridge. Predicting high winds and rain later. Thunderstorms and possible tornado.

Severe weather in Atlanta today too

That's a bit of a relief. Thought she was closer to the AL and FL lines, which is where the worst is, and she'd mentioned the brother in the trailer.

Looks communist to me.

How far south can a Wendigo go?

Seriously, hope all is well.

Anybody know her IRL?

I personally use it because it's easier to put financial files in date order that way.

Its an international standard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
The important part is that it sorts correctly. If you have a file names with dates in the name, the alphanumeric sorting of the filenames actually matches the datetime sorting. Its awesome.

I do not know. oyarde had mentioned that he had put out some food for Danke's spirit and she said she did too. I don't think she knows to take precautions when feeding spirits or has protections like oyarde does.

It has been a crazy winter for weather. California drought pretty much wiped out by now in many areas with more storms to come.

I hope suzie's okay down there.

Looks bad, some of the photos I've seen - Death toll from US storms surges to 15, tornado warnings still in place (PHOTOS)

The main system is rotating CCW:

all west central florida under a tornado watch until 10pm. Highest particularly dangerous situation warning ever issued here. Skyway bridge completely closed to all traffic now.

Erm, all low-pressure systems do that up 'round these parts

Wind is insane (sustained @ 25 with higher gusts even away from the bad parts of the system), already some trees down. We expect much less of an impact than GA, AL, MS, and LA, but it's still going to be sporadically dangerous. The main line (from my perspective) will be here within the hour. It's that tail hanging down from the picture he posted. That means it won't be bad for too long (good thing) but it also contains some really nasty wind and rain and likely hail (bad thing). Then there's another part expected to build and hit around midnight.

Your timelines may vary.
