Pittsburgs next, the west half of West Virginia is getting nailed right now.. We look to be within an hour of some serious storms here in the eastern mountains.

2. They're expecting it to hit us in about half an hour
(Mon County here).

Braxton, Doddridge, Gilmer, Ritchie, Tyler, and Wetzel are under a tornado watch.

Our power will probably go out later this evening -- we live at one of the highest points in the county.

I'm kinda looking forward to it.

Hope no big trees blow down your way! :hi:

3. Driving home a few minutes ago
the winds were definitely unsettling as I felt it lift my car while driving on the freeway.

6. At the moment of this post, the rain just stopped and it is dead calm
But the real weather is just a few miles to the west of us.

They are predicting 70mph tonight.

Windy here, but nothing extreme yet.

13. Nothing happening here yet (north of Clarion, PA)
We still have snow cover here, so whatever happens is going to be a mess tomorrow :-(. I hope we don't lose too many trees.

16. northeast Ohio here
The wind is really whipping outside. I hope our barn can take it, I think one more good wind storm is going to bring part of it down. At least we only have one little snow bank left after the warm weather the last couple of days. We are under a tornado warning here in the two counties I am tucked between.
