Stay safe today and tonight!

[Dav4]

Pretty much all of the SE US is under some sort of severe weather forecast for today and tonight. We here in parts of North and West GA, along with much of AL and MS, are in the enhanced to moderate risk region, with good chances for severe thunderstorms and long track tornadoes this afternoon and overnight.

I spent part of the afternoon moving many of my trees off their benches and onto the ground in anticipation of a stormy night... I'll take 3 feet of snow any day over this crap! Here's to everyone being ok tomorrow when the dust clears!

Here's a few pictures of my very tall JWP taken from a perspective rarely seen as the trees and I prepared to shelter in place...

Yep.
good luck!

Up my way they are calling for a night with periods of rain with temps in the 50's. Tomorrow night however is supposed to be colder, so will have to check back then. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Hack Yeah!]

Thanks for the reminder Dave. Got all my trees down in their bunker. I certainly hope this is wasted effort.

 

[BuckeyeOne]

Rain starting around 9pm thru noon tomorrow. Winds gusting to 60 mph with temps in the low 30's.
Welcome to spring!!

I am in a rather strategic geographical location, but Tuesday night we had pockets of up to 80 mph winds.
A micro burst destroyed a used car dealership in St Albans, including 120 cars damaged.
Last year an F-0 tornado hit a couple miles from my doublewide just out the road towards a small airport.
These transitional months can be rather detrimental to repots, lightweight pots and heavy foliage windsails.
Stay safe

Damn yo....my low for tonight is 57 and rain.
I planted all my veggie garden seeds today too!

 

[Japonicus]

Oh and I have to set the garbage out tonight with a TORCON index of 2.
I know that's shabby, but here, that's rather elevated. Was 30º F. yesterday morning
and I have I think 5 newly repotted plants. Another reason to err on the post Summer solstice side of potting + the wind.

Stay safe y’all...getting ugly out here now. Trees moved, storm room prepped.

Mine are all clustered together under the second story deck since Tuesday. High wind knocked a few off the benches Monday night.

I'd have that azalea in the house right beside me!

 

[Cadillactaste]

Nasty storms for NE Ohio too. Put everything inside the greenhouse.

Yeah, it looks good right now, but it’s gotten so wide it’s hard to get it through the door. Plus they’re really thirsty when they’re in full bloom, so I think the blooms will last a little longer if it stays outside.

Batten down the hatches and hucker down! Stay safe y'all! We're finally getting some long awaited spring-like weather here in Oregon and starting to see some bud movement on my deciduous trees.

I moved some of my trees to the ground, and have candles and flashlights in the bathroom (our innermost room). My wife and I are splitting the night watch. We don't usually have storms like this roll through during the night. I shouldn't expect much less after the last 4-6 weeks.

 

[coachspinks]

I hope everyone made it through the night ok. I am just south of Atlanta and we had a relatively calm night. However, we had tornados touchdown 15 miles to the north and about 20 miles to the south of us.

 

[Dav4]

We received almost 2.5 inches of rain between 1:30 and 2:30 this morning, but no serious wind damage. Not a very restful night for sure. Glad it's over.

Pretty much the same here. We have several large oak trees surrounding our house. As soon as I finish "teaching" today I will spend an hour picking up all the small branches.

 

[JudyB]

Wind didn't arrive last night, we expect to get it today at some point, but I'm happy that it will be during the day. Hope everyone down south made it safely thru the night.

It was 75F on Saturday....
