From a few years ago, still applies:


Weather was a total bust - high pressure cap kept everything out of DFW proper. There's a tornado watch for the next county over (and I'm only a couple of miles outside of that county), but I'm at the far, far eastern edge of DFW. Lots of wind, that was about it.

Seems like the wind hosed with my power though... came home and the UPSs for both the PC and the modem/router were off. PC UPS is good for ~15 minutes, modem/router UPS is good for >1 hour. I'd left my kitchen light on too (usually leave it on unless I'm sleeping, partly to give the impression someone's home if I'm gone, partly because it lights up the living room pretty well), it's totally dead now. Guessing the (probably original from the 80s) ballast got nuked. Logs from the PC's UPS show an overvoltage event and a power failure event around 7:45am.

e: bunch of tornado warnings just went up, but they're east of me.

I just spent all day out at the Texas Motor Speedway for the Pate Swap Meet, and it was half-empty because everyone expected the weather to roar in and destroy everything. Worst we got was a little sprinkle and quite a bit of wind, some of it cold.
*Now* that I'm home the weather looks like it wants to kill us, but according to the radar it all still going around DFW.

I need to learn how to make my own pizza dough. Have a store bought crust with some Classico pizza sauce, some spinach that was on clearance (expired tomorrow - cooked it down in a little olive oil), and some chopped artichoke hearts. And of course cheese. Should be time for some delish in about 10 minutes.

It's nice and chilly outside, but it's also raining sideways out here (but again.. almost in Rockwall). Power can't decide if it wants to stay on or not.

So if anyone in Canton was hoping to buy a new Mopar anytime soon...



A tweet from a news station local(er) to that area:

"A man has been found in a pasture in Canton and has been taken to a local hospital. His condition is unknown at this time."

About an hour east of me. 2 radar-indicated sky suckers hit that area tonight. That was the storm that was originally projected to hit DFW. :stonk:

Well, being truly skinny is, it's just their calibration of what that actually means needs adjustment. I've met a couple of people (both girls as it happens) who were at the proper "holy poo poo, you look like a zombie" end of the scale, and it's definitely not a good thing.

But that's like 30%+ below what they think "skinny" is, which is "normal human being".

I am all for body type acceptance. Everyone should feel comfortable with their body but there are definitely risks when it comes to being overweight.
