Where in the World is Bob Saget?

[Nemo14]

Yay Nemo's Mom!!

(Has she been nominated yet to be Bob for the day?)

She may have, but she won't remember it.

So the gymnastics competition won't interfere with the plans we made. It actually fell right where we hoped it would. And we are also arriving about half a day earlier, so we have a full day at the beginning instead of a half day. We made a breakfast reservation for Trail's End Buffet at Fort Wilderness that morning. I'm so excited!

just like some others we nominated and didn't tell

Sounds exciting!

There was a tornado that touched down not even an hour from where I live last night. Destroyed some homes, and turned over a bunch of trailers and campers at a campground. Thankfully no one was killed or severely injured.

Had a tornado touchdown about 30 minutes southwest of here a few hours ago. Don't believe it was much, but it really makes it seem like they could hit closer to home. Had a tornado warning that expired at 3:15 today and are under a watch until 7:00 tonight.

 

[Nemo14]

Yikes - stay safe there.

 

[PUSH]

So the watch is over, nothing really happened aside from some rain, thunder and lightning.

 

[Nemo14]

That's good. Do you have a tornado shelter?

 

[PUSH]

There's a cellar under our front porch that we would go in if there was an actual tornado. Whenever there's severe weather that is truly worrisome, I just go down to the basement. It's an exposed basement so I can see what's happening outside and make a judgement on whether I should take further shelter.

I've never had to actually take "real" shelter. We have tornado watches here all the time during spring and summer. This year has been a slow year, actually. Tornado warnings aren't uncommon either. They change it to warnings when the spotters see rotation in the sky. A spotter actually sits at the dead end that our house sits on, so we can tell when they are worried.

 

[Nemo14]

So a spotter is not a person...right?

 

[PUSH]

A spotter is a person.

When weather gets bad they send our spotters, who are usually local police. They look at the clouds to see if there is any rotation. Their conversations can be heard on the scanner.

 

[Nemo14]

Ahhh - OK. See here when there's a storm coming they send out low-man-on-the-reporter-totem pole to go stand out in the middle of it and tell us how bad it is.

 

[PUSH]

I'm too deprived to live in your technologically advanced civilization.

 

[Nemo14]

We even have umbrellas, but they turn inside out in a storm.

Kind of like Jim Cantore?

I've seen him around here several time during hurricane season.

Seems like your civilization still has some kinks to work out.

How cool....Umbrella Transformers.

just a few...

 

[Nemo14]

but we're working on improvements...

 

[PUSH]

but we're working on improvements...

I heard they were getting these at WDW. Should I start a thread and ask about it?
