Well...nothing happened over night in my area as far as I can tell right now. I am not seeing any reports of storm damage and I didnt receive any Heavy weather approaching emails for either home or at work which is to my north. So, I guess the storms just stayed away last night. Got another chance today of more severe weather. Will be interesting to see what comes of it today as well.
