Incredibly wicked storms here in past 14 hours or so across the region.  Devastating tornadoes in Western KY, S Ill.  

Awful.   Lots of fatalities.

They're pretty rare here, but I've had to duck out into our safety space at least a couple of times in my lifetime.  One grazed a shopping center about 2 miles from my house, ripped the roof right off the entire complex.

was 42 here this morning at 6:30
expected high of 68 - gonna crush the record

I'd be golfing but I have a job and the wind is going to blow 35mph with gusts of 70mph

When I was a kid we had a tornado come off of Moses lake by my house

It took the back end off of a local bowling alley

They still find bowling pins in the surrounding area to this day

anyway this thing went parallel to my block and a few houses down jumped over the house picked up a car turned it 180 degrees and set it back down in the driveway

it then continued for about 200 yards and disappeared

I saw this thing from a distance and the thing that struck me was how white it was
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I can't count to times I've had to head to the basement because of tornado warnings and close calls

many many family and friends have had considerable damage, including their entire house exploded and gone

fortunately we dont get near the tornados here in the Houston area that folks do in the central US and rarely have one that sticks around for more then a few minutes

The storms didn't hit my immediate area, in Nashville, too bad.  I did have a large, 3-foot diameter tree come down and I lost several shingles.  The tree was far from the house, so that was good.
