    I have been watching the weather reports, and it seems the Midwest is in for another roller coaster day. Are you all okay?
    Please check in. You know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

    Some areas around my city apparently got hail. All I got was rain, thunder and a few lightning flashes :/ Rather disappointing actually, I like me a nice storm *lol*

    Dodged the bullit here. We clouded up early this morning and got some rain early which kept the air cool. It only got up to 54 deg F here which reduced the chance of severe weather a lot. South of us down by the Ohio River they had several tornadoes touch down. All we got was light rain, but supposed to be windy tonight as the cold front comes through.

    I feel for the people.After being in one storm in 98 and flood in 08. Rushing home to see if I had a house in 98. And seeing all the 100 year old trees down-but just small amount of damage to house. But on way home seeing my neighbors house split in half . One had picture still on wall. Looked like a doll house.

    Heard on the local newss this morning, that we had 3 tornados touch down along the Ohio River. One stayed on the ground for about 20 miles. Still 3 people dead in Ohio from them.
