Dam I miss big storms, when I lived in Wisconsin/Hawaii/Ney York/ Germany, each of those places gets big storms. I miss seeing lightning, around here all i hear is the thunder, I have never seen lightning in WA.

O, by the way, I like the pics.

 

[Skookum]

When i was a kid i remember rolling thru St. Louis in a thunder storm during a family road trip. Barely was able to see the arches it was pouring so hard.
Like the pics of the clouds, this one is really trippy looking.

[hooples3]

[TreeSaw]

Nice to see you stopping off in my old stomping grounds........Arrowhead Stadium (where the KC Cheifs play).

Outstanding pics. A couple of years ago I drove to CO for a weekend because I hadn't seen Kansas in a long time. That was cool. But then I had to drive back through Kansas 2 days later. That sucked. :dancing:

 

[biggins]

yeah it was certainly an experience. the thunderstorm clouds from the ground were mainly kansas, there were friggin tornados everywhere and i am kinda bummed i didnt get to see one.

but i got paid to drive across the country so that was cool.

Did you find Kansas a Little windy?

All the times I have driven through there, there has always been a 25-30mph breeze.

there were 60 mile per hour straight line winds and 20-some-odd tornados touched down in the counties where i was driving.

There are places outside of Wichita (which unfortunately I've had to visit on business) where the trees have a permenant wind induced lean to them.....

it did look kinda like all the trees were leaning in opne direction. its almost as if the wind always blows the same way.

the trip overall was very enlightening. it was a solo trip and i had no other music besides the radio. lots of country stations and NPR.

i partied in Nashville TN.

I've noticed that along the highways here, too. Pretty much a southerly breeze all summer.

:dancing: Nice.

 

[T-Pirate]

That does look cool. That boat looks neat.

[Cooter Brown]

[DNA]

Jeez, we are getting all the Asheville celebs coming through Columbia lately, first Biggins and the Herndon.

 

[Cooter Brown]

you coming to the race next weekend?

 

[DNA]

Yep. Jen is probably coming along, but Aaron probably won't. His girlfriend had plans or something. He is trying to find a way to change those plans. Y'all heading down Friday or Saturday?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

I've noticed that along the highways here, too. Pretty much a southerly breeze all summer.

Same in the Champlain Valley, in open spaces, the trees lean noticeably north.

Nice pictures.

 

[Cooter Brown]

Friday if V isn't working. We may stop in F'ville and catch JB&S @ George's Majestic Lounge friday nite and come out saturday morn

 

[DNA]

If Aaron goes, then we will be there Sat. morning. If he doesn't, then I think we are going to roll down Friday and paddle the Mulberry River.
