western NY under tornado watch NOW

[Gary Majchrzak]

better safe than sorry

stay away from windows!

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

wow!

wow!

look out. We went from sunshine to torrential downpour in the matter of seconds. Wind is howling.

 

[Capt_Cully]

Must be headed our way! I've NEVER seen it before, but we had golf ball sized hail here yesterday. INSANE in the membrane! I gotta believe we're going to set a precipitation record this year.

 

[Jacwil]

Mark, evidently there was a tornado in Oneida area yesterday!

 

[Capt_Cully]

Yeah, National Weather Service was supposed to make an official determination on that one today. Either way, we've had some extreme weather conditions this past winter and on into this spring. That hail blew my mind. I was in the car and thought it was gonna blow out the moon roof. Thankfully it wasn't my car.

Storm is just hitting my area right in the middle of rochester and Syracuse.

 

[MatAndPatti]

Dang, that weather wasn't any fun! :worried: Hope everyone made it through OK!

It dumped in Henrietta for a good half hour, but I think everything is still in one piece out this way.

 

[Jacwil]

Just upgraded to tornado WARNING!

 

[diverdick]

Power is out in Canandaigua.......Thank goodness for generators!

I'm loving this weather. I predicted the winter to be bad and I'm predicting this summer to be stormy. After seeing a funnel cloud, lightning across the street, green clouds(because of hail), and monsoon rains, this is going to be an awesome summer for me! Though, I want everyone to be safe. Did you guys here about Route 81 that shut down for like 4 hours because it was under 3 feet of water?

Weather warnings are crap for the most part. Was hoping for a nice, beautiful storm but just rain and wind with minimal thunder/lightning .

Mike, I agree. I wish saftey upon everybody, however, I would love a good'ole fashioned loud thunder and brightly flashing lightening storm. And it smells soooo good! Too bad I had to close the windows as the rain was coming in.

exactly; I love a crazy, loud, visual storm. I stayed in the garage and left both doors open for the smell and sight, but nothing great to be seen.

Usually I hope for the power to go out, but having a reef tank without a generator, I need to stray from that hope lol.
