That's still creepy, and a part of me thinks you have tried to find everyone else's houses as well 🤣🤣🤣

Its not creepy.   We all knew he was lying but he angrily denied it until there was proof.  Then he stopped lying.  No more 200 mph winds and 95 degree dewpoints!   He posted the pics of his house and Google provides the street views.   Why would I care about finding other houses?   We all state where we live and most people post pics from their neighborhood during weather events.  Its not a mystery.    But Phil...  🤪

Lightning in SoCal...

You'd think that for $5 billion, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, would never have a weather delay. You'd think that an NFL team playing in Los Angeles wouldn't have a weather delay period. 

Viewers who turned on "Monday Night Football" at the usual time were surprised to find out otherwise. 

The start of the Los Angeles Chargers' home game against the Las Vegas Raiders was delayed due to lightning strikes in the area. The game, slated to kick off about 8:15 p.m. ET, ended up kicking off about 8:50 instead. 

The panels on the side of the stadium are open, and that combined with the lightning in the area posed a safety risk.

Good lord. I knew about stampede pass long ago but never knew this story 😂

Yeah... supposedly he lived at 3,000 feet near McHenry MD.   And the weather there was more crazy than any other place on the planet.     😀

In the early 2000’s I would get SOOO MAD at Tim’s posts on the Yahoo weather group long before this forum! It’s been a long history with some of us weather whack jobs!

I believe we had a short stint there before moving onto the OFA forums…Or maybe it was the other way around, I can’t remember now. One of them got shut down.

I remember that. He wasn't Phil back then. He was weather or wsj4000 or something like that. I wish the Western Weather Forums archives were still available. I knew it was bs, because nobody lives up at Stampede pass. Phil is alright though. He's become a valuable contributor on this board.

I wish we still had those archives, I can still remember Jim going completely full blown angry Jim in November of 2006 as my area had snow falling for nearly two days straight and were pretty much cut off from the world due to massive tree destruction from the heavy wet snow before the arctic front finally pushed though! Pure insanity while Jim was still looking out the window looking for the first flake.

Angry Tim that month too!    At least early on... roads washed out and I feared a massive landslide was imminent.   The end of the month was much more fun.

Yeah... I could have done without that one day with 8 inches of rain and dewpoints in the mid 60s.   😀

November 2006 was insane. 15.71” of rain most of it in the first half of the month…then a pretty solid Arctic blast late in the month with a bit of snow. 06-07 overall was pretty crazy also had the big Hanukkah eve storm and some more snow and cold in January 2007.

It looks like we have a strong -QBO at 30mb right now and a weak +QBO at 50mb. If I understand correctly, but correct me if I'm wrong, the 50mb level has more of an impact on the PNW weather. If so, could someone explain why this is the case? Also, if the 30mb level is trending strongly negative, does that suggest the same pattern will occur at the 50mb level?

I think there was another snow game during December 2008 too. There’s been a couple others I’m sure but November 2006 and December 2008 are the only ones I really remember.

I bet moving to Kentucky will tighten a few screws for Winter in the northwest! I still want to be a member here but perhaps limit my postings so I don't make it too irrelevant. 

You’re moving to KY? You’ll need some elevation. 😬

A handful of the homes that interest us have steps going up the property, any significant water will run off that! 

And I think a seller would have to mention if there's been history of flooding.
