Tornado season is officially here! |
|
An adjoining county has a report of possible touchdown right now and it is headed to the northeast-right towards me!
Basement is ready, flashlights have fresh batteries and the radio does too. Now I want a beer and a few minutes to watch.

I love this weather!
Ours usually starts in April but we had a very mild winter so it has arrived early.

We've missed two so far but this one looks like a good one!
I'm excited.

But we have another front that could do the same thing moving in this evening.

12. We might get some of it tomorrow |
|
A special weather statement came in on my Weather Channel desktop weather. Most storms are expected to be strong, and not severe. I don't even like regular thunderstorms.

13. This is a large front, |
|
causing baseball size hail, 80+ mph wind gusts and tornadoes. It is travelling to the NE at this time.
And it lingers in the same spot for a couple of hours.

It's all clear now-for the moment. We do have another front to watch for this evening.
Come March, we always have provisions ready. This is an early season-we usually don't have them until April.
