It was crazy over here this morning (that is why I have not been on much). Actually when the 'tornado' hit (they are dragging their feet about calling it one) it torn down a lot of the trees in the neighborhood and wrecked store fronts. The window in my mothers room got blown into the room (and it was a new window) and I had to rush in there when I heard her scream (she is fine, thank god). I spent the morning calling the window guys and telling them they needed to get hear now to fix it or I would sue since they just put that window in. All in all another crazy (normal) morning in the CH household. It could be worse, a few blocks away some houses lost their roofs and a friend of mine had her new car totaled when one of those trees fell on it. Very un usual weather in brooklyn. In my 29 years I don't there has even been one of those that I can remember.

Good to hear your all ok Mike, seems it's making the rounds of the earth.

It's all this climate changes, the weather is getting screwed up everywhere.
What's it going to be like in 10 years time...

Would you be fishing with a tow truck?

Watched a fishing program where they were fishing for sharks off a beach, not great Whites  mind you but looked fun.  :icon_cool:

Glad to hear there is no people damage :)

I didn't get the fishing reference, but it set me off on a fishing fantasy, and I had to go and check in the garage to see how many Ally Shrimps, Teal Blue and Silvers and Black Butchers I've got in my fly box.  I might need some more Zulus, though ... :D

Round the UK the water temperature has risen and tropical fish and such have been seen in the waters and it's affecting the local wild life.
That's why i said about fishing as it's the same problems that's causing the storms and such.

I know Wristy I was just getting an image of you getting sucked into the water by the great white that snagged your line. There have been a ton of climate changes all around the world. I have noticed the ones here in NY.

That was for keeper40k, so he knew why the fish was included in the topic without being off topic.  :icon_wink:
