Here we go again.Yet another severe thunderstorm is bearing down on Omaha, apparently with quarter-size hail, strong wind, torrential rain. I guess I won't be hoeing and weeding the garden today after all.
Assuming I have a garden left after what's left of my garden gets hammered by this round of crappy weather. And this storm, which just blew up north of town, is drawing a bead on midtown Omaha . . . which is where I live.
This will not be good for limbs and trees that were weakened, but not dropped, by Friday's monster.
Once again, I stepped outside to get the afternoon paper and check the mail . . . only to look up, see a Not Good sky and hear the far-off thunder. Came in, turned on the TV . . . and Channel 7 already was on with wall-to-wall weather coverage.
Dammit. This flipping thing has developed a wall cloud. You can see it on the TV tower cam.
It's official. We're all going to die.
I think I'm joking. Maybe not.
UPDATE: The thing just missed our house . . . it's not a terribly wide storm, just a few miles. I don't think it had tremendous wind, but apparently downtown got the worst of the hail. Perhaps golf-ball size.
Needless to say, we're all a bit gun shy during this storm season that just won't end.
