"Inclement Weather" thread (let people know yer ok)

[GoodOff]

Fuck balls!  Haltom City! Most folks outside of of the MetroPlex don't understand the term "MidCities". Cool. Next Cookout I throw, I'll toss ya an invite.
How excellent! Yeah I took Panzer and SystemShock last year to Quake Con - sumbitch closes early on Sat. Can you believe that? Like 5pm on Saturday. Sure the Open Lan gaming is still up but yeah, bit of a disappointment when I realized  we got there late.

Ah, yea. All their events and shows and what not are pretty much gone by then.  5pm does seem kind of early though.  But, I'm sure the BYOC went on through the night.  Always hated packing up when it came around noon the following day.  You get this feeling they're kicking you out!

Cookout, eh? Sounds fun!  You host LAN parties?

SWEET SHIT SNAX!

No shit, next door neighbors are not at home. The winds are kicking up the powerlines into the trees. We've had a breaker flip and the lights are flickering. Trey was looking at the tree when the popping began. A shower of white sparks and arcing ensued.
I yelled "Get Back!" which panicked some folks inside the house because I don't usually yell unless shit gets real. The sparks are bouncing across the backyard.  it's happened 3 times since then and when I glanced outside, I saw some of the sparks bouncing up the lawn.
I've called Oncor and let them know. Someone will be here before 1am.
I've lit a candle and after posting this, I'm going to make sure the water hose is connected. Especially after the Plumbing Fuckery from earlier this month.

Crap this means I have to get pants on.

Why does crap happen after I start drinking? I poured this drink at 9:30.

edit to GoodOff  - as a matter of fact, yes!  We have Quake Wars Enemy Territories which can handle a lot of people and is pretty darn good for a laugh.
A few copies of Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, Borderlands and 2 computers running Saint's Row 3 (and a guest that got us hooked).

Shit, all we have up here are some stronger than normal winds.

Stay safe, D-girl.

According to that news article and his Steam profile he's about 200 miles away from where the quake was. Hopefully he's okay.

I'll have to hit him up next time I'm on, see what's up

[Duck-and-Cover]

I know, but I still want to say what's up

HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK!!!

20 solid minutes of golfball to softball sized hail.

My roommate Avery got his front windshield riddled and his back one completely smashed in. I happened to park in the one area where a tree branch hangs over my car and suffered no windshield damage.

[Panzer89]

UPDATE: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK, my front windshield has some nasty cracks in it. It's still holding, but the cracks are bad looking.

[Duck-and-Cover]

That sucks that happened man, mother nature can be a total bitch- especially where you are.  Good luck on getting it all fixed up.
