In Basement 1:30AM - 2:00AM -Tornado Warning

[Muddyboots]

Weather radio goes off with warning, switched on TV after going down into basement and so comforting to see the rotation is right over our house! Fortunately, no damage but DANG! 3rd night in last week of no sleep! Weather radio was ridiculous in alarms in a 30 minute period. So far, no confirmation of any damage from tornado on ground but plenty of power outages. We were out of power from 2AM to about 4AM. Heavy tree damage about mile from house but no confirmation yet on what caused it.

House painters coming in this morning so can't even take nap since starting in bedroom!

I wonder if this is the same storm that kept me from sleeping? I could not fall asleep last night, And about the time I was finally ready to doze off. Brrrr brrrrr brrrrr tornado warning goes off on the phone. I look out and see our garbage can knocked over and all the garbage and our recycling blowing across the yard . It lasted about an hour or so. Finally get to sleep around 1:30 AM. Anyway, I'm in northern Indiana.

We had a storm go through last Friday where we were under the house watching tree limbs and debris blow by I bought a 12 ft Jon boat to give the girls a ride in on the river we live on and we got to use it once a huge limb mashed it flat and took out my wife's clothes line poles my timber is in a shambles every path and road I had made is blocked with down trees I guess it's that time of year the extra work stinks though.

I grew up in the Midwest and I miss the fireflies, but not the tornadoes. Glad you're all okay.

Northern Indiana and SW Michigan got same storms. Power out everywhere! Straight line winds over 70 so even without tornado still wind damage.

 

[xsn10s]

60-70 mph winds can do a lot of damage. Minimum tear up shingles on roofs. Power out is not good for those with medical issues.

I'll take all of the snow we get and you can have your tornadoes!

Yes that was the way it was here supposedly 80 mile an hour straight winds tore a lot of barns and buildings down. David

I work for the electric utility company and supposedly we are sitting at just over 40k people without power. But, I haven't got a call yet of where to go.

Be safe out there. Being a caretaker of an elderly parent I appreciate our electric company workers.

You guys are some of the true hero's too. Be safe and take care.

So under Tornado watch until 8PM and flood watch until late tomorrow. Line of storms headed directly at us and bright orange rain and lightning. Marine warning already issued on Lake Michigan so it is packing punch. Last couple years no real storms but this year royal PITA! Rather have N'oreaster snow storm from back home upstate NY.

You betcha! Lake effect is better than a NorEaster.
