Yep. We are under a tornado watch. I can see some clouds rotating. hrmjustin Oct 2013 #2

You'll be okay BainsBane Oct 2013 #6

Yeah we should be ok. The wind is kicking up and to top it off there is a crane in Manhattan hrmjustin Oct 2013 #9

Another crane failure? DJ13 Oct 2013 #13

It is the same building that had a crane failure during Sandy. hrmjustin Oct 2013 #14

Ah, makes sense DJ13 Oct 2013 #15

The thing is that it is a different crane from the last one. The building has no luck. hrmjustin Oct 2013 #16

A watch just means a tornado could develop. There hasn't been a sighting. We have those all summer long.

Have a friend who got caught in the storm in Rockville MD. Said he got soaked all the way through to his skin (through raincoat, suit, etc., even water inside his rain boots). He said it was unreal.

Here in DE I was home for lunch when the first line came through. It sounded (and looked) like an army of angry squirrels were pelting our roof with acorns and twigs.
