2026 - How's the Weather Where You Are

Ooh, yes; those straight line winds are so destructive. We had some blow through last year, and they hit central New York once when my parents were still living there.

Have you ever seen a funnel cloud, @Imogene? (Or has anyone here?)

Yes.

1. When we first moved here, I saw two swirling clouds moving toward each other to become one. If finally hit me I was looking at a tornado forming. It moved due east and hit a part of the town 15 miles away.

2. One that I didn’t see but felt, was also some years ago, when I had all four of my original horses. I was feeding them when all of a sudden the hair on my arms and neck was pulled upward and all my horses stopped chewing their hay.

They had hay hanging out of their mouths when they looked at me. It was deathly quiet and I felt like I was in a vacuum. I said “pray fellas, pray”.

A funnel cloud had gone over the barn and it also hit the town due east of me.

Watching my arm hair pull upward was unsettling enough, but watching my horses stopped chewing because they knew something was happening with the weather, was even more unsettling.

3. I have picked up photos and cancelled checks from 90 miles away, in my pastures. That was a night tornado and only missed the house by 300’ - 400’.. I THINK that was the big outbreak of 2005.
 
When I was a kidling, we had a tornado go over our little indiana town,
took our chimney down and some shingles...
RIGHT NOW IT IS SNOWINg A VERY TINY FLAKE, 34 DEG...
