might I recommend going to a basement if you had a TVS over you! Where are you?


I don't have a basement but thanks for the thought.

I'm a chaser and a trained spotter, the last place you will ever find me is taking cover. However, the first place you can look for my body is probably somewhere in Shelby or Hancock county Indiana.

I am located, literally, at the point of the 85 degree angle denoting the I 465 loop, between I 65 and I 74 in Indianapolis.


I'm a trained spotter, too, but if there was a TVS in my area I would at least try to take cover in a walk-in closet, non walk-in closet...whatever have ya if it's available at your place of residence.

Given the looks of what is headed my way, I may well need to do that eventually today...sooner than later. Still, if I can help out with information for the skywarn guys, I'm pretty determined to be out in the middle of things. It's a long story, but it's something I have to do. Stupid, I know.

If you're near a tv or radio turn it on as I'm sure there's streaming coverage right now. You have a nasty cell heading into the region and Shelby Co. is under a tstorm warning. Storm wsw of the area in Arkansas is tornado warned right now as I type this. Could heads towards n-ern parts of Memphis, Shelby Co.

Western edge of Indpls is just now starting to put up some warnings and Skywarn is going nuts. Our skies here look so strange, it's really is hard to tell what's going on.

You guys stay safe over there and Stormy1...take cover if necessary. Don't be foolish and die trying to take pictures.


I'm in the slight risk here in Beaumont and I think the storms seem to be getting a little stronger as they get closer to the coast. Hopefully they'll just be plain ol thunderstorms and nothing severe.

Law Enforcement reports:

2 homes DESTROYED in Washington, IN., and 2 homes damaged just east in Cannelburg, IN.

Here's the 3:02pm Velocity image of the storm that ripped through that area and still seems to be doing damage...

Anyone in between Bloomington and Beford, IN., take cover NOW. This cell is heading right to you and looks to pass just north of Oolitic, IN.

Thanks skysummit. 31mph gust about 5 miles or so from here, according to Weatherbug and the storms aren't here yet. Just cloudy and windy, and hot!

I'm worried about the people in the PDS areas.

I so prefer having the contrast between the sun and the front. Here, it is grey and green and we are starting to lose daylight. If I didn't have StormLab and access to Skywarn, I'd just think it was a basic, mid November, ugly day.
