Morbid Curiosity

Post by CujoSR » Tue Jan 19, 2010 6:18 pm

So Orange County had a tornado warning issued today. How did DLR handle it? Inquiring minds would like to know.

"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."

"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

It was obviously an Advertising Gimmick for the new Silly Symphony Swings Attraction, which will be opening up in Paradise Pier at Disney's California Adventure Park later this spring...

:p:

But really, snow in Orlando, tornadoes in Anaheim, I thought 2012 was two years away from now, lol :D: .

Tornado hit Seal Beach where a car was turned on its side & high tide came in. Pier seemed strong. Haven't heard if there was other damage. Am sure it was light. Off today so can't comment how DL handled Tornado warning.

It was a little crazy, but not bad. Main St. flooded and the ducks were swimming around in it, and the winds were pretty bad for about an hour, but then it chilled out and the sun came back. It's supposed to get bad again tomorrow and Friday - I'll try to take some pictures.

I saw on the news yesterday while I was getting ready to take the Census exam (scored 26 out of 28) that the tornado, which someone caught on tape, hit Huntington Beach, shattering windows, sinking a couple of boats in the harbor, and yes knocking over a car or two. The Delhi Channel near me was running pretty high, at least half its maximum depth--probably 8 feet or so--and on the bus going to take the test, parts of Flower St. were flooded on the east side of the street, but traffic could get through okay.

What? :confused: I was out. Went shopping. Was cold & so forth. Nothing major here. Rain seems to bring out your "not easy to get along with side."
Parts of Santa Ana, Orange, & all over flooded, but parts of all SoCal flooded. Watch the news! Don't rely on me. :( & I do get out. :p:

Delhi has a history of flooding as it's so low. Been floods there for more than 95 yrs. If it rains 3 inches dear little Delhi floods.

I heard on good authority that Disneyland was fully prepared to deal with the bad weather, Mickey was backstage wearing his sorcerer's cap.

Did he have all of those brooms scoop out Main Street and dump the water back into the Rivers of America? :p:

Wait a minute.....Disneyland conveniently just emptied out the Rivers before this deluge....They must have ESPN :eek:


:flybongo: NO BULL!!!!!:D:
