I'm sitting at work on Monday and I notice that it is getting darker outside. I figured it was going to rain, so I didn't pay it any more attention. Well it got a lot darker and I looked out the wondow and it was looking a bit nasty so I quickly went to www.wixt.com our news channel to look at the radar to see what was going on. In red right up at the top of the page was TORNADO WARNING. I know the difference between watch and warning adn all we have ever really gotten up here were watches, which means that the conditions are favorable to produce a tornado. THe warning means that something is up and you need to keep your eye to sky and pay attention to your surroundings because one is trying to form or one has already formed and is on the ground.
I quickly went over to the weather channel website and got more details. It was telling me that at 2:50 this storm would be right where I was. The time was 2:45. All I wanted to do was to get home to my house and my kids. School dismissal is at 2:50. I fly out the door at work, jump in the van, pull to the end of the driveway away from all the trees and come face to face with this lovely wall cloud. I'm telling you I almost wet my pants. Since I only live 5 miles away I figured I would get home rather quickly. Well I thought wrong. About a mile away from work I started getting pounded by hail that was the size of half dollars. It was so loud inside my van. The intensity and the loudness was just insane. The whole lasted for about 5 minutes but I swear it was the longest 5 minutes of my life. No tornado actually touched down, but it tried forming several times out of this wall cloud. This shows the time elapsed photography from our news website:

the sign is actually about swimming but one needs to realize that the ice is thin and not at all safe yet

The weather got really violent and my mom calls me telling me that there are tornado warnings for our county and that funnel clouds had been spotted in towns 3 miles away. I ran outside to check out the sky and the clouds were swirling and moving really fast. So my girlfriend and I went into the basement of our apartment just to be safe. We were fortunate enough not to have a tornado.
Supposedly some tornados did actually touch down in cities next to Akron. No injuries or deaths.
I shot this from my living room.

This bull elk was pawing, snorting and warning an incoming bull that he wasn't into sharing his harum. He was bigger and better equipped. The other bull wisely took notice and tried his luck elsewhere.
Nature is so entertaining huh?
Thanks for taking a look and for any comments, faves or suggestions. Always appreciated.

A bear warning sign on the way to Lofsdalen. Not a usually sight, at least not for me. It was the first time I ever have seen that.
Two days ago, early in the morning, all the tree branches were covered in a frost that the sun lit up into blazing displays. I can never seem to catch it properly with my camera. The old fellas around here say a frost like that is a warning of a winter rain in a day or two. They were right in this case, we are having a huge downpour of rain this afternoon after an overnight snowfall.

This is one of the Arctic Tern parents hovering above my head, warning me to stay away from the babies.
We had a refreshing break in Northumberland last week. On our journey to Berwick-Upon-Tweed we stopped for a wonderful meal at the 'Anglers Arms' at Weldon Bridge, Longframlington.
Here is one of the old signs displayed at the Pub.
(For those in the know, do you think it would go down well at the KH?)
