The past few days have been a prime example of what I was talking about in the previous post. The rain in Starkville that finally came in buckets on Thursday and Friday was part of a cold front and precipiation pattern that has been predicted for about a week. I got to see some of the thickest fog I've ever seen. It was a very active few days, weather-wise. None of the weather "goings on" here in Starkville were quite as important as the severe weather watches/warnings that were issued around my home town in Columbia, SC. One county (Sumter) was issued a tornado warning, the surrounding counties (which included Richland County, where Columbia is) had a tornado watch. My girlfriend was very prepared for the worst, but no tornado came close to her house, thankfully.
But all that is really exciting. She told me that there was a tornado watch. The first thing I said was "Be Careful." After that, it was "Tell me everything that happens!" Sane people shouldn't be like that, right? Storm chasing--I want to do it. I want to drive into the heart of a storm and observe one of these monsters. I want to see the worst nature can throw at us...from a safe distance of course. It just seems thrilling.
