We had tornando's last night, thunderstorms and rain all night and it is still raining........sigh....and the Mississippi continues to rise. Anybody have a cheap boat for sale. ;-)

More tornadoes last night! :shock:

cjomomma 05-02-2011 08:51 AM

Oh no!! Where were the tornadoes at?

The weather is horrible, but I have to laugh at your cheap boat comment. My uncle lives on a houseboat, but can't go home because of flooding!! The road to his marina is under water, so boats don't always help.

Stay safe everyone!

Remember, Noah built an ark.

MrsM 05-02-2011 10:38 AM

Hang in there! Hope you stay safe and dry!

Hate to hear about more tornadoes. Hope no one else has been killed. I wonder when this awful weather is going to get better.

susie0808 05-02-2011 01:00 PM

This is terrible! I hate hearing about more tornado's too. I think you all need a break. Enough with this crazy weather!

Gladys 05-02-2011 01:58 PM

God bless you guys.

I live just north of Memphis and we had sirens going off again here. They were having the Memphis in May event...and they had sirens go off there also.

This is pics of what the Mississippi looks like

It rained all day today...and they say 50% chance of more rain tonight and again tomorrow.

I saw the flooding pictures already. This rain needs to go some place where they need it for a good week or 2. MissM you stay safe down there. I've been praying each for everyone dealing with this weather.

It's been raining all day here too.

There was a Tornado in Auckland, New Zealand today as well - those winds sure get around!

lorimax5859 05-03-2011 06:01 AM

Oh my gosh! Praying for some dry weather to come your way. Please stay safe.

When Norfolk, Va had it's flood my Navy son borrowed a Kayak to get around. The Navy did not have any RIB's available to pick him up for work. All the trucks in the area where he lived had drowned. Good thing the apartment was on stilts.
You know with all the rain we are all having now that come Fall it will be dry as a bone and we will have to water.

I saw that one on the news. Terrifying no matter where you live.

Dee 05-03-2011 05:43 PM

Praying for everyone. I think the higher up is trying to point out a few things.

GramaLaura 05-03-2011 07:16 PM

Stay safe..... :-D

katigirl 05-03-2011 11:45 PM

Nope, rained here all day too so mine's in use at the moment.

snicktrain 05-04-2011 01:19 AM

Prayers go out to all. Stay safe and dry.

No boat but wish we had some of your rain! Texas is really hurting; Houston is now officially in extreme drought condition; other parts of the state are the same or even worse except northern counties along OK and MO borders. Pray for rain for us!
