Luckily.. I am in the county.. but nowhere near the warning area

Okay, dude...turn OFF the computer, grab your NOAA weather radio and a bottle of water, lower the volume on the TV, and head towards your safest room.

NOW!

If anything, I wouldn't be hovering on the computer during this type of thing. Even if you're not hit, it's not fun to have to buy a new computer and lose all your previous data because you had it on during a storm and lightning struck.

Seriously, be safe! I hope you read this AFTER it all passes because you got smart and aren't online right now.

Stay safe, John!!!

Kristi.. thank you..

An update.. There was apparently no tornado.. Just an appearance of 1 on the radar. No reports of funnel clouds or tornado touchdowns were reported.

There does appear to be minor damage in my area as some of the local apt. complexes here have scattered tree limbs on there grounds...

It also looks like we survived another afternoon of summer weather here because I believe most of the rain is gone...
