This is only the second time that I have seen a high risk area for us. The last time it happened we had a tornado touchdown just north of Louisville. It's kind of weird to see transfomers popping on tv and then your power goes out. Hopefully there won't be any touchdowns today (but I doubt it).

Its going to be a very rough day across a large part of the nation. Please heed all warning and watch skyward. I am afraid this will be another life threatening event.

Having a PDS watch issued this early in the day can't be good. I'm keeping that entire area of the country in my thoughts. :(

Same thinking here. I'm afraid this will be a catastrophically wide event covering many states. 8:30 CST and already a Tornado Warning. It's going to be very busy today.

Good luck and Godspeed to all today (and you'll need it, storms will be traveling at 60-70 mph). Potential for strong tornadoes is pretty high.

The Watch Probability Table for PDS Tornado Watch 865 just issued are off the charts.

There's a 90% probability two more more tornadoes, and a 70% of a strong tornado (F2 or greater) occurring.

Got another PDS Tornado Watch (#866) to the north (including the St. Louis metro area, much of central Illinois, and southwestern Indiana. Busy day for the SPC and the local weather offices in those areas, for sure.

Is this normal? Do they usually close schools early for forecasted outbreaks?
