You and Lj are very lucky people - except with the cars. Your combined luck with vehicles sends shivers down my spine.

Still - trashing your cars seems a small price to pay for all the other good stuff in your life. :)

I'm freaking out man

that's understandable - but no one was IN the car, right?

they're ok. I couldn't get them for a few minutes there. bad storm, no cell service, power out.

you get dependent on this instant contact thing we've achieved with today's tech.

Wow that shit just rolled through here! Holy Crap - the streets a river.

jinx just got cell service back....

said the storm is fast and violent. dropped to 73 degrees there. took a bunch of trees down, and power is out.

Car is fine. maybe scratches, but no dents... it was a tree LIMB. thank fsm.

the angry storm gods are over Cherry Hill....

that's over the WalMart in Elverson, actually. jinx took that shot.

SRSLY? the one you just had fixed?

Just for a refresher, this is my favorite radar link.

It's like an ugly red boil. A pox on the Cellar.

ah, it's from West Virginia...no good comes from there.

Can I get a rAmen?! I swear my car is a bigger shit magnet than my husband.

We raced home ahead of this thing, foolishly thinking we might get the groceries in the house before it really hit... made it to about 5 houses down and a big limb came down and bounced off the front of the car (right front corner - again!). One tiny dent, 2 small scratches. Meh.
Trees down everywhere, and cut hay hanging off the power lines like party favors, it's pretty crazy. Just got power back.

shame you already entered your cloud in the treasure hunt

It's a bit freakishly warm here on the west coast where I'm at. The weather is a very nice, dry mid-70's for the 5 day week, and then as soon as the weekend hits the temperature start rocketing up to the mid-high 80's to low 90's. That's hot hot hot when you don't have air conditioning at home and your place is insulated like a garbage bag. When temps get above around 75, heat just begins to build up inside, so that by the time it's 80 outside, it's creepign towards 90 inside. Ugh.
