Gotta love your Mi Storms


Recommended Posts

My friend's Mom who lives in Walled Lake got hit yesterday. Her house was pretty much right where the tornado's touched down. She now has no power, only has one way to get out of her house, and she doesn't even know how much damage is done to her house because she's affraid of going back there without someone. *she lives alone*

I know that we are under a T-Storm watch here in Westland.

I hope you all stay safe out there :respect:

I've been watching storm coverage on tv, pretty crazy to see live pictures of twisters. :unsure:

We lost our power at about 8:30 last night. I went to bed at about 10:30 (super early for me), and by the time I woke up at 6:45 am, it was back on.

I live in Wixom, and we had no electricity from about 5 pm Sunday night, until about 4 am this morning (Tueday)!

Those sorts of strong storms are nothing new to me! Since I have lived in the Wolverine Lake/Wixom area, I have seen more wild thunderstorms than I have ever seen in my entire life (I have photographed many of them, too).. Our quaint suburban skies seem to give birth to monsters.

The attached photo is from the last big storm we had here in early April. I thought for sure I was going to witness a funnel cloud's genesis!

Those little 'fractals' (that's what they resemble to me) sprouting off the bottoms of the clouds kept reaching lower and lower and lower, almost touching the rooftops! It was really bizarre. Almost everyone who was home was out on their porch; watching it all take place, ooohing and ahhhing.

The result of these weird clouds was a deluge of pea-sized hail, about two minutes after this photo was taken. I got some video too, up until the hail broke.

This was one of those days I REALLY didn't like living in a trailer.

My parents live in New Hudson. They were running off their generator until this morning.

My ex lives in Waterford. They were completely out of power until last night.

I was driving home and got into Milan on US-23 on Sunday when a nasty one hit ... I was crawling on the freeway because I couldn't see, with trees flying all around me. I encountered trees down across the road and all kinds of nasty-ness the rest of the way home to Ypsilanti. Luckily, we had no power issues here.

      I know the feeling! So get this, when I was stuck in ABQ I decided to re-activate my phone. Now, for years I have been running a Straight Talk Mobile Hotspot for wifi instead of paying for actual phone service, because I get more data for 50 bucks on the wifi plan than I would get for the same price for my phone plan, and I don't call anybody very often if ever, so it only made sense. Well while I was in ABQ I got desperate and decided I needed to make some phone calls so I walked down to Walmart to get a  45 dollar plan for my phone, only to realize that I had to walk back to walmart again (4 miles one way) to get a new Sim card, because the one I had was too old, apparently...  Anyway, literally the second I reactivate my phone - I got a phone call from a frickin' debt collector!  I mean it was so instantaneous that I assimed it was Straight Talk calling to confirm my activation or something - instead it was somebody with a foreign accent that I could barely understand, asking for whoever the person was that previously had the phone number I had just been assigned. . . I was so irritated with this fact.    And yeah now I'm getting multiple calls, daily, from everybody and their brother, looking for whoever the person was that used to have this number.  Wells Fargo, AT&T, etc etc.    I think there needs to be some better way of doing this. Recycling phone numbers as fast as we do this day & age isn't working out very well. 🤷

      I have no idea why I'm even on all of these call lists that are on Robo-Dial by A.I.  One is a female voice and the other is a male voice and all they did was change the name that they give you.  I did get put through to a few live people to try to ask them to remove me from their list, but they, the telemarketer, hung up on me.   It's like I'm living "Telemarketers Revenge" for all the years of people handing up on them.   I always spoke with the telemarketer and then wished them a good day before hanging up.  And this is what I get for all of my decades of kindness.  I don't think I deserve this, but the World has lost a lot of the niceties that it used to have when I was growing up.  And no...COVID did not cause this.  I'm also getting tired of that excuse.  Its been 6 years!  People felt they were given the Green Light to be anti-social and rude to your face and now it is part of society just like everything else Mainstream adopts and considers it a cultural add-on.   I just hope I can survive this onslaught of calls blowing up my phone until it dies down.  Else, I will place a block on my number and only allow calls from family, friends and medical associated with my job.

      This is crazy.   I had to mute my phone because I am getting 50+ calls a day regarding Life Insurance, Medical Insurance, Burial Benefits, a Senior Food Expense Card, a Senior Social Security monthly reimbursement benefit, etc., and I don't qualify for any of it.  I don't even meet the age requirement.   At current, I have 53 missed calls and 38 of them were from yesterday.
