Strong storms in the midwest tonight

2nd May 2008

As I’ve stayed up this evening writing a new blog post and working to coordinate the defense of my seven Travian villages (our alliance is currently at war with a stronger alliance) I’ve been watching a very strong line of storms make its way across our state:

Since the lightning was getting pretty intense, I decided to share another impromptu Ustream broadcast from our front porch. (The video is 8.5 minutes long.)

I think we captured a few of the lightning flashes. WOW. This is a strong storm. The winds are arriving now, and the rain is just starting. Hopefully we won’t get any hail or funnels.

It’s exciting to live in tornado alley!

Saw devastation wrought by tornadoes in Mid-West on HK TV tonight – looks all pretty wild. Had 2nd earliest Typhoon on record here last week – they say that doesn’t bode well for the rest of the session – we run a competition called ‘Bad Wind’ betting on the date of the first day off school because of Signal 8 – with Global warming pushing Typhoons further north the jackpot just keeps getting bigger – always very mixed feeling about the pay off!
