Some of the Mississippi and Ohio valleys are under a strong risk for severe weather today. Everyone in that area, be safe!

Thanks CathyA, we are certainly keeping an eye to the sky (and the weather channel) today.

Happy to report that a big wind came through with torrential rain, for about 3 minutes. Enough to take down part of the tree in front of my house. YAY! 1 big limb down, 3 more to go.

The skies let loose this morning while I was at church. A tornado watch was issued just before I left for church. I put my important.papers, laptop, and pistol in my bathroom. Flash flood warning. We have a tornado warning now. Bears game has been stopped and 60K fans made to evacuate stands and take shelter in concourse.

Tornado touch downs downstate IL from where I am in the Chicago area.

We had thunderstorms, really nice ones, mid-day. It is still raining a bit. Tornado activity all around us, but none here.

We had a lot of rain and wind, but fortunately no damage......however there were tornadoes in the area that did some damage.
