How scary. I'm so glad you are OK.

Our county didn't get nearly the storm that was predicted. We got more rain tho, and more to come later this afternoon or tonight.

are you in Michigan? Which county?

Glad you are okay. YIKES.

Scary stuff! Glad you are ok!

Glad you are ok. We didn’t even get but a scattering of rain, nowhere near the stormy weather we were supposed to get but 10-20 miles north of us had some wind damage and Nashville and others more north of us did have tornadoes.

Also glad you are ok...I miss the days when I used to like thunderstorms, now I cringe when they are in the forecast., like later today.

I believe she is in Kentucky; here is a news report from there.

I'm glad the tornado missed your town, and I'm glad no one was injured. It is fortunate also that you have the sirens to warn you to take shelter. Do you have a safe place to go when this happens? In Texas, we always went to the bathroom in the center of the house - it had no windows.

Yes, I'm in Kentucky. Lars, I have my hallway to go into, which won't help much if my home is hit directly.

Vgkg, I used to love thunderstorms too, not so much anymore. When I lived in Tucson, loved standing in the doorway to watch the monsoon rains in the afternoon.

Kathsgrdn, I thought about you yesterday when I heard about the tornado in your county, and hoped you were okay. The Louisville area seems to have gotten the worst damage. I'm so thankful we had no deaths, but sadly I believe two people died in Indiana. I was hoping Kentucky would make it through tornado season without having any bad storms, but at least we have no deaths so far.

Glad you're OK too.

Saw this morning that there are a lot of states with severe storm warnings today - including here. Yesterday, my cousin in WI shared a photo of the snow they just had.

I do love the sound of distant thunder, but the increase in extreme weather puts me on edge, for sure. I'm super happy when we get a gentle rain - doesn't happen that often any more. It seems it's mainly feast or famine nowadays.

We may have had several in Alabama last night. Still talking if tornado or straight line winds. There were more about a month or so ago. Where we live, they usually go to the north or south of Weatherly Valley.

When I saw the news reports this AM of damage in KY, I thought of you. So glad the tornado missed you!

The storms throughout the day that approached my house were nothing like feared - some lightening/thunder but not much, and only one really heavy downpour. The bulk of the storm front passed to the south of Columbus. I more often heard more distant thunder, and when there was a tornado warning about 35-40 miles due east of me, I could see the lightning flashes from my FR window.

The storms with tornados a week ago were stronger and the tornado warnings closer..

I just heard on the news that there is a fatality from the storm, near Covington. And so much damage.

Latest news is that 7 tornadoes touched down in the state yesterday. The area near where my daughter lives was pretty torn up by the winds. She lives near downtown/UK campus area. She thankfully lives in a basement apartment.

When I was looking to buy a house, I had wanted a sunroom, garage and basement. I didn't buy a house with a basement and now wish I had. I think these storms are just going to get worse as the years go on.

Glad you're ok. Maybe you could put in a tornado bunker in the backyard.

Summersrhythm, I did think about that the last time this happened.

bacino, all the neighbors on the inner side of our street have basements but I don't know any of them well enough to ask to come into their home. Apparently we had something like 11 tornados after they evaluated things, days later. That's crazy and scary.

Oh, I would guess any of your neighbors would happily welcome you!

Also, you might want to consider having a low-key Happy Hour with your neighbors sometime. We used to do that and it was a great way to get to know each other. Everyone brought something to share.
