To follow up from Josh's post above, we shouldn't be dependent on just one source for energy. Let me give you all some numbers I looked up to think about here: 70% of electricity in the United States comes from fossil fuels alone (coal, natural gas, and petroleum). Meanwhile, about 90% of France's electricity comes from their own nuclear plants, hydro plants, and other renewable resources. They don't have to rely on foreign sources nearly as much. Why can't we be like that?
Anyway, regular unleaded gasoline is $3.26 per gallon in my area today.
I hate that song so much.
Strong winds are/is one of the criteria for a severe T-storm warning. I believe >60MPH. Here we had a few strikes and rumbles, but heavy rain for about an hour. It was was less severe than I would have liked.It was a lame non event in the mid atlantic yesterdayYes, we got nothing but occasional rain showers. No thunder, hail, or downpours.
There wasn't much of lightning and thunder here either, a few bright flashes and a few big rumbles, but in retrospect nothing I think should have warranted a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. I don't recall even seeing any hail either, but there was plenty of heavy rain and strong winds. I can't speak for how the conditions were for the Tornado Warning issued for the SW side of my county toward Hartsfield Int'l Airport.

There are using the term Strong Thunderstorms for the forecast here, too. On the local on the 8s, it says "Variable clouds with Strong Thunderstorms".
It's certainly going to be worse here if TWC is right, they're using the term Strong Thunderstorms in their forecast here. That's an upgrade from Thunderstorms/Wind the past couple of days, looks like it's a damaging wind event for us going by them. Our NWS office has been up in the clouds daydreaming as usual.Now I see this morning they're saying a 80% chance of Severe T' Storms that's a far cry from the showers I saw yesterday.
Will the outbreak tomorrow and Monday be worse than thursdays/fridays?
