That line is just west of me - no lightning, yet.
Nashville is getting slammed, though!

Watch that secondary line in W KY too! That's part of a bigger line from north of Cincinnati, down thru Louisville, Paducah and into N AR, associated with the front.

Thanks, Jeremy! That first line broke up, before
it got here. I see another line moving down from
Clarksville. But, is that another line around
Paducah, KY? It looks like two more lines, on radar.

(*note - I have an appointment at the eye doc's,
on Monday.)

It looks strong on radar (at least last I saw it, it did). :o
