Rain & Gas Prices in Perry, OK

"My rain gauge here at home has shown 1.2" since the storms that hit this week, and our gas prices dropped to $3.30.9 just before being raised to $3.75.9 for this Memorial Day weekend. I should have gotten my lawn-mower gas Wednesday. Now I'll wait 'til the middle of next week to see if (hopefully) it'll drop again.

Saturday, 6:30 p.m... I've been watching hail falling into my front yard and there are tornado's dancing around south of here at this moment (and they are expected to continue for another few hours. The wind is calm here now and the lightning has slowed. I hear storm sirens sounding somewhere.

Early morning, 25 May 2008... So far as I know, there was no immediate damage to me or mine, but I just about jumped out of my skin when I went outside to adjust an antenna and a sudden huge lightning bolt must have hit within 1/2 mile along with a LARGE thunderclap. Totally unexpected. I thought the storm had already passed.

I rushed back inside and then there was another nearby bolt of lightning and thunder followed by a sudden increase in wind velocity. Five minutes later it was all calm again, but the weather chasers (I was also listening to the 'ham' weather watchers and other 'spotters' on a police scanner) said there was a small twister on the ground for a few minutes on highway 86 south of here.

Since I too have been trained as a weather-watcher and was one for a few years about 20 odd years ago, I tend to remain quite calm when these things are 'dancing' around. Incidentally, I only saw nickel-size hail (twice) at my house this time so there was probably no nearby violence in the weather (within a few blocks from my house). We don't have much to worry about unless the hail is golf-ball size or larger.

I haven't re-checked my rain gauge but know that we had some flooded streets for awhile. I envy you having a few inches of snow this late in the season. That would slow down my grass and weed problem some if it happened here." -- Roy K
