Commin my way, should be here after midnight. I think we'll be fine, but the folks down south of us had grapefruit sized hail! Thats crazy!

Welcome summer, I guess!

We were on the very southern edge of the storm that hit Parkersburg. Think they are 45 miles east of here!!!!! That town is just devestated.

Going to stay up for a while yet, keep an eye on the radar.

I think I am gonna put my silverado in the pole barn. The Lang can survive, she's a tank!

Probably a good idea to put the truck under some shelter. Don't want it looking like a golf ball.

Good to know WD, Buzz, came out ok, we lost our satt for a while but got real lucky tonight. Two different storms, first went north of us, the second went south, both by around ten miles.

Meant to say earlier ... Thanks for asking about us BA

Parkersburg .... real sad, 5 deaths. High school flattened, was there for our play off games in basketball not so long ago.

News just said 7 confirmed dead in Parkersburg, leveled the town.

OK guys, it is another day. Is everyone safe?

Those were quite the storms. It started forming here in Dodge and kept getting stronger and stronger the farther east it went. Called my folks in Waverly around 6 last night. They said their rescue crews were on their way to the Parkersburg area. Got hit hard but didn't know how devestating it was till couple hours later. Showing pics on TV now that it is getting light out. Unbelievable. Our prayers go out to the people in that area.

Just caught that on my news page. Been thinking of all you folks in this are. Continue to hope you duck and dodge this deadly stuff
