First storm just passed a couple of miles west of us. Second one is teeing up now. Headed north-northeast generally toward Mechanicsville.

I have a big crawlspace but have not gotten down there yet even though we have been under a warning for 40 mins now.
Toddler and dog and spooky crawlspace is real last minute stuff. I have toys and water and snacks in the windowless bathroom though.

NBC 12 weather app is surprisingly good.

In Mechanicsville. I’ve been hearing consistent rumbling. Phone isn’t going off to warn me though. Wondering if I should pack kiddo and dogs into the basement yet

Second alerts issued to metro. LOOK to be (nbc12) traveling in the same path which is just to the east of the metro. Not definitive, but this is packing more of a punch, not on the ground yet, but according to nbc12 could at any second. ETA 245pm or before. First warning expired now.

Definitely get to it now. First storm seems to have passed, but a second is coming up 95 north northeast towards the east end/ Mechanicsville area.

We've been kind of in a slot between the storms, but our phone alarms have been driving the dog nuts.

The 2nd storm is more concerning according NBC12 and they definitely said Mechanicsville folks should get to their shelter in place.

That’s perfectly suitable. These warnings are a bit melodramatic.

Today was defiantly a good day to work from home instead of in my office by the VCU medical campus. I pulled up my webcam on my work desktop and could see the rain and wind pounding the window that's behind where I sit...

This one is what made me start looking up the cost of pre-made shelters and bunkers. Surprisingly a lot of options between $5-10k. Might be a long-term project to add to the back yard.
TheMFGrinch t1_ivzl339 wrote
Wow, not bad. I thought that they would cost way more, I’ll definitely look into that. Thank you

kinda sunny here now

Granted, that was a basic 10 ft x 6 ft underground steel shelter, but probably wouldn't be too hard to add in some backup battery power for lights and such down in one. With how more common tornadoes are becoming in VA it's a nice peace of mind investment.

Dark Sky is the best, but Apple bought it and is subsuming it into their own weather app
