    Severe weather...Oh My.

    Tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings and watches for this area this evening. Supposedly a tornado has been sighted in Northern Westchester a ways north of me. No surprise. I was just outside. The humidity is brutal and the air is perfectly still. Not a single breeze.. Only about 80 deg but the humidity ... I came back drenched in sweat.

    I'd be heading downstairs about now....
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    Well, so far nothing has happened. The local repeater initiated Skywarn. There were some reports of very dark clouds and funnel clouds up in New City NY and Newburgh. But otherwise Skywarn has been pretty quiet in my county. So far all we got right overhead was a shower with no thunder or wind.

    The tornado watch continues till 11 pm

    Or disconnect your gear from the antenna.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    The system must have weakened quite a bit as it came through. Didn't hear any reports of anything too bad. There was some storms to my north and south but overhead here the most that happened was that we got a shower... which we needed anyway. The ground has been very dry and the plants needed some water. Now it's just humid as heck.
