Tornados ****. Still cleaning up, repairing, rebuilding in a town about 10 miles from here. Luckily my town just took some damage on the far west side.

Been a crazy summer already for weather.

It has been a crazy year nationwide regarding severe weather.

Glad your ok.

also ... the temperature went from 91 degrees down to 65 in a matter of 1 minute...its slowly climbing back up

This is honestly the most frightening bit about thunderstorms. Last week (when the flooding started that's all over the news) we had temps 91-92 before the storms started, and I shit you not, afterwards the outdoor thermometer was registering in the 50s. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

Tornado touched down about 5 miles south of my house on saturday.

I was a little farther south for swap meet/car show, and was 5 miles south of the tornado!

Luckily it didn't hit us at the swap meet or else we would have been fucked. A couple hundred vendors outdoors+tornado=shitstorm

Michigan has been hit hard the past 6 days, huge floods 100,000+ lost power, 6 or 7 deaths due to the storms. From the sounds of it Michigan was the hardest hit, but we only had 1 maybe 2 tornadoes.

I pray for your state's sake that isn't true, because after flying with my friend over some of 40+ counties declared as disaster areas nationally, I cannot imagine it being any worse. There were people literally 20 deep standing on top of a hill, because 10 feet in either direction, water had flooded the entire town around them.

IDK, maybe it is worse other places, but the whole midwest definitely got hit hrd by these storms. This is video from west Michigan http://video.woodtv.com/player.php?video_id=12391

we had tornadoes a few miles from me, and al ot of roads are flooded over around here. it was fun in my gf's jeep, and even more fun in my caprice:

trying to talk the woman into letting me go off roading now with all the temporary lakes, so far no go...we'll see

i could go take pics of Pewaukee, they r flooded crazy. the lake overflowed over the beach onto the main road, the river did the same and like half of the roads in the town are closed and now have over 2ft of water on them.
