Wow! Severe Thunderstorms!

Okay, depending where you live in the world, the weather can be very different, but here, since yesterday and into today, King County and Pierce County in Washington, where Seattle is located and its suburbs have seen consecutive severe thunderstorm warnings, with quarter and even golf sized hail with winds up to 60 mph......

This is incredibly rare, we get a sever thunderstorm warning about every 10 years. the last timw we had one was in 2006 and before that, 1989..... :shock:

I know this may not be very amazing for some who live in the Midwest and in New England, but its incredibly rare here.

There is no such thing as global warming. It's a darn cycle.

Hopefully, but can anyone explain a-week-long thunderstorm happens here?

Throughout the week, there has been landslides and damaged roads... :cry:
