The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

How's the Weather?

Got some heavy thunderstorms passing through the area right now. Already saw the lights flicker briefly a couple times, so hopefully the power stays on for the rest of the night.

I hope everything turned out okay, Mu-u-u-ud Brother!

As for my area... well... quite uneventful. Just like the past prior summers, though. Not that the fishy can complain. Well it always sucks to be very humid everyday, but that's summer here for ya. It'll be even worse, when by Sunday or Monday next week it should get up to 90°F during the day. So with the humidity it'll be even more unbearable than it already is.

Speaking of weather... may make a whole separate detailing the details, timeline, events of the Storm of the Century, or the Superstorm of 1993 to be more specific. I'm quite obsessed with that event, so as long as attention span permits... I'd be glad to get a discussion thread going about it. Would be especially interesting, considering the amount of members here that were born before 1993 to have been able to experience it if you live in America, on the eastern side at least.

Hottest day today, so far...
90°F, very humid
Also, right now, almost 10pm still 80°F air temperature outside, so not much relief. Will have more relief later down the week.

We had a big storm today.
And I have encountered first twister in my life. Right in front of me. I was at home. Some windows were torn out in nearest house where twister hit, and a lot of torn trees in its path.

Mo-o-o hope everyone was alright from the tornado, Sneak! :opetrie
Very scary to hear it actually went through your neighborhood, almost near your house too. Based on the damage described, it was a weak tornado, right? But if it went directly through some houses, that would be real ba-a-a-ad.

yes, it was a weak, Though we never ever had such tornadoes in our city. Not I or my parents recall.

Mo-o-o-o see! Glad it wasn't too bad! I've never seen a tornado here before, but one time Mo-o-o did get a Tornado Warning alert on my phone. Supposedly the tornado happened like maybe... 50 or more miles west of us. Closest a tornado had touched down within the region during my lifetime. It was quite stormy and windy that day, regardless.

It seems temperatures are finally dropping with the change of season. It's now been well over a week since the last time it got over 70F, and it looks like this week will barely get above 60F, with lows reaching as far as 40F.

Temps in Mo-o-o's area is quite similar, though temps will drop at night towards the mid 40s Fahrenheit in the next 2 days, so slightly warmer than you. And the rest of the nights in the 50s until later next week. In the next week or so, it seems one day will be above 70°F, around 75°F on Saturday, though that's the only day at 70°F or above for me.

And also, anyone in the path of Hurricane Milton, Mo-o-o hopes you all stay safe and be prepared!!! Sounds like quite a powerful hurricane will strike, which is quite horrible considering the damages already caused by Hurricane Helene about 2 weeks ago.

Temperatures this week are barely getting as high as 60F. Next week, it'll warm up to almost 70F for a few days, then cool back down. It also looks like there will be clear skies for several days, so hopefully that'll give me an opportunity to see that comet that I've supposedly heard would be visible at around this time. (I missed out on possibly seeing any auroras last weekend due to endless rain.)

The next 5 days, temps here are all in the 70s, with even one day reaching as high as 77°F supposedly. Then afterwards it will cool back down to the 60s. Looks like the warmer temps have come back after that first taste of autumn sometime ago.

Also, 0 rain in the forecast for next two weeks for now. Past few weeks have seen basically 0 rain as well.

It rained quite a lot yesterday, pretty windy as well. Temperatures were in the 60s in the day and 50s at night. But after the storm pass, it's finally colder, with it being 24°F tonight, and 22°F for tomorrow night before warming up by the beginning of next week. So far, don't think we'll see any more snowflakes for the next 2 weeks. But I think it'll be possible after that. Our first snowflakes of the season was only about a week ago, zero accumulations but snowfall was observed.

Had some snow accumulation earlier this morning, along with some freezing rain in some places. Looks like winter here in Vermont is not quite over yet...
