Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
 

So this fucker just blasted through a few hours ago, I found some pretty badass pics on a local news site. Tornado/funnel clouds in the area, 60 mph winds, hail, the whole nine yards. It went from blue sky to black in like 2 minutes, and the storm rolled passed us in about a 1/2 hr. I was outside smoking and watching this roll in, within 2 seconds of the sky turning black every single tornado siren in the city went ------- crazy.

edit: just noticed that the first pic is the sign out in front of a catholic high school that reads "today matters" just seems a little strange.

on a side note, earlier today a smaller storm rolled through and a ------- road construction sign (that wasn't sandbagged/cinder blocked down to begin with) went flying down the drivers side of our tahoe and scratched/dented the ---- out of the whole ------- thing. :3

So a power pole about 1/2 block south east of us got struck by lightning and blew out a transformer. I just went out for a smoke and realized i must be just on the edge of a power grid. I currently live on a corner lot and of the 20ish houses I can see to the south, east, and west of me none of them have power, and there are no street lights right now, myself and everyone north still has power, guess I lucked out there.

If your from around the NC/SC border I remember driving back to camp lejeune from myrtle beach in that ----.. it was ------- horrible. I couldn't go over about 15 on the damn highway.

welcome to the leading edge of a low pressure storm.

Re: Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
 

I've lived in the midwest for almost 5 years and still haven't seen a twista. I've seen some cool (not narly. cool.) clouds before, but nothing serious. I want to put my kevlar closet to use, damn it. :7

Re: Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
 

damnit steve, if you are going to use shitty 80's words at least spell them right. It's gnarly, not narly. /spelling nazi

Re: Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
 

We need an NC/SC HMT meet.

Re: Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
 

Pick a Saturday, come to Asheville. I will take everyone to the streetraces, and will slap one of the local assclowns like a woman for everyone's amusement.

Re: Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
 

Sounds mighty tempting. I'll start growing my beard now and stop bathing so I'll fit in when the time comes around.

Re: Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
 

---- yes.

I lol'd at the truth.

Re: Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
 

You meet some hybrid mentalities around here, but 95% of the car people here shower daily. No need to worship rank body odor and patchouli if you come to visit... hell, I was at Greenlife Cafe aka Asheville Eccentric Central three weeks ago and saw somebody get dressed down for poor (soaked in patchouli) hygeine. Times are changing, and a lot of the ignorant hippy ---- is being discarded.

Re: Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
 

i hope that ------s north

Re: Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
 

It's probably just an Asheville thing. Constant exposure to my criticism is paying off...

Re: Storm that just ripped through town....(pics)
