NWI INGO General Post part 16

I didn't mean that in a bad way.

I understand what you meant. This holiday is to remember all the fallen vets. Wasn't this originally called Decoration Day?

 

[2A_Tom]

Yes it was.

Confederate widows decorated the graves of their fallen and did not neglect the Union soldiers graves.

The thing that pisses me off is the Memorial Day sales. Memorial Day is not about selling cars or mattresses or cosmetics. Who thought it was a good idea to say "Thousands died defending their country, so let's celebrate by throwing a big-ass sale!"

Sad but true. Sales is all about putting your money in their pocket any way they can.

Sitting out on the patio trimming some 308 brass. Looks like the rain is gonna put this to a halt shortly. Just got a tornado warning alert thats in effect till 9pm tonight.

Sky over the lake is looking pretty nasty.

 

[Ballstater98]

30 counties in IN under it.

 

[d.kaufman]

Reports of Tornado touching down In Oak Lawn, IL

 

[actaeon277]

Guess I'm too late with the rain warning

 

[1775usmarine]

Got my grass cut, gutters blown out, and fertilizer down before noon. I can say this is the only time I'm looking for rain.

 

[melensdad]

We never got a drop of rain here.

Got all my outside work done before 1pm because it was predicted.

Weather radio keeps squawking, but all the alerts are for communities to the north.

Perhaps it will wash the filth off the North of 30 thugs and gangstas JEDIs raccoon buddies probably need baths too.

 

[d.kaufman]

New tornado warning now for the north Lake county area till 5pm. Looking pretty ominous out there right now. Saying there is rotation along with hail as well. Saying to hunker down in your basement

 

[Ballstater98]

That was a lot of rain and hail in a short amount of time. Spinning clouds remained lazy. Whew.

 

[melensdad]

No rain.

No wind.

No hail.

No drama.

Apparently this new round of rain is running a bit farther south than the previous weather issues, I can tell because its now cloudy instead of sunny.

 

[d.kaufman]

Getting hail now here in North Hobart. Wife said someone posting tornado sirens in Merrillville going off. Listening to Noaa possible tornado in Laporte heading to South Bend. Just called the daughter and told her to get her and my grandsons ass to the basement.

 

[d.kaufman]

Wife just showed a pic of tornado coming down in Dyer 30 minutes ago. Dont know if it ever touched ground or not

 

[Ballstater98]

Sirens have gone off here a couple times. Here is the current state of my neighbor's yard:

I contacted the builder. He was thrilled.

 

[repeter1977]

This rain could stop anytime soon and I'd be happy
