"Thanks kris. We thought it was a car fire at first until it started moving! Careful out there guys!"


The sky is getting SO dark over here. Someone hold me please!

[TheDHJ]

Brooklyn is under a warning. Perhaps it's God's way of sending a message to the goddamn hipsters.

[KrisNYG]

Local news in CT... A tornado watch has been issued for Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield, Middlesex, and New Haven counties until 9 p.m. tonight. Meteorologist Mike Cameron is in the early warning forecast center monitoring the situation. Stay with Eyewitness News for any updates throughout the day.

[KrisNYG]

They are telling people in FF county to get in their basements.

Hey, IASW... maybe your lolplaceofwork will blow away!

[In A Silent Way]

I'll punch the tornado in the face. Custy'd, breh.

Sure is gloomy out there.

[Karen]

Tornado just touched down by my mom's house. Eeek!

[TheDHJ]

Rockland county seems to have dodged the bullet. The NY/CT border is the focus. I'm listening to CBS 880.

[cassady]

Rockland is indestructible !!! I'm in between Waterbury and Hartford Ct and its windy as hell. Keeps alternating between dark and stormy and bright and sunny....pretty rapidly changing. Weird weather

[Sunshower]

VERY windy here and alternating sun and clouds. Already had some pretty big branches come down in the back yard. Gonna be MIGHTY busy tomorrow!

[In A Silent Way]

My two oak trees never miss an opportunity to litter the yard.

[KrisNYG]

Thanks B, I think I'm gonna collar the pups and get them out of the loft.

[cassady]

[cassady]

i'm a channel 3 whore
i like their radar

[Jambear]

Oh the wind and the rain.

[TheDHJ]

Developing over Rockland now.

[Sunshower]

I got the kitteh carrier ready in case I have to head for the basement!

[KrisNYG]

We're in the basement (as advised). Difficult pup has been medicated and I have prosecco.

Thanks for the chat Butch!

[TheDHJ]

Do you have some Kris...just in case??

[Jwheelz]

I ain't no meteorologist but on the radar it looks like the cell responsible for the tornado warning for northern central Connecticut has weakened and is no longer a threat... definitely listen to the pros on this one though

[KrisNYG]

That would make me curl up in the fetal position.

Hoping so! The sky just got real ominous. Bright blue with puffy clouds and the under cloud layer is VERY dark and closing in. Pretty cool actually!

[KrisNYG]

I am SUCH a baby!

[Sunshower]

No you are NOT! This shit freaks me out too!

[Jwheelz]

(((safe & cool looking)))

[KrisNYG]

Yeah, having a bell tower does not help my nerves much!

I need tylenol.

[Jwheelz]

does the bell tower have a bell in it?

[In A Silent Way]

Nothing exciting happening here on the shoreline.

[KrisNYG]

does the bell tower have a bell in it?

Yes it does! The boyfriend of the previous owner brought it back from Germany (where he is from and currently is). His family member is a bell caster for the churches out there and this one had a slight flaw so it couldn't be used. They wrapped it in blankets and stuffed it into a trash can and checked it as baggage.

[mountain mama]

(((((Kris))))) does the bell actually toll?? wow, cool and scary!

i'm like a turtle in a shell in this weather!

be safe everyboardie!

[Jwheelz]

and if it tolls, do you often wonder for whom the bell tolls?

[cassady]

second band is gonna be worse

[cassady]

long afternoon'd

be safe everyboardie!

and if it tolls, do you often wonder for whom the bell tolls?

Yes! There is an actual law on the books about ringing it. That was fun to monitor when friends and I dragged a mini keg and some champagne up there. They were SO bad!

[KrisNYG]

second band is gonna be worse

Oh goodie!

[Sunshower]

Stay safe everyone!

[Kashmir]

Developing over Rockland now.

They closed down the Renaissance Faire.

[Kashmir]

Still rapidly changing condition here in Bristol

[In A Silent Way]

I'm bored here on the shoreline. Entertain me.

[KrisNYG]

We're back upstairs for now. If I could figure out the video option on my stupid camera I would have posted difficult pup trying to take a poo while on the xanax. (he succeed)

[Jwheelz]

[KrisNYG]

Yes, indeed!

This system is nuts! Goes from stand still air to ten second down pour to complete darkness with high winds... rinse, repeat.

[Jwheelz]

I'm just picturing a Xanax'd dog trying to take a poo

[Kashmir]

Yes, indeed!

Its so nutty!! Its perfectly still right meow but I'm sure the wind is right around the corner. Wait....wait, the wind started whip as I typed about the calm!!!
