I was coming home from work and to the west it was lightning out like crazy. Poured outside for a while, but nothing serious.

Can't wait for the weekend though, nothing but warm temps, sunny, and three day weekend!

Damn close to a tornado at my place. Blew the barn doors in and started taking out the roof. Part of the roof flew about 200yards into a grass bank next to the house and its nothing but a dirt hole about 15feet wide and 2 feet deep (good thing the car wasnt parked there). Also uprooted a big oak and tossed it about 20 feet

That was probably part of the storms that sprang up in Indiana. They missed my place, but South and Southeast of me got hammered with rain and in some spots 1.5" diameter hail. That just makes me sick to hear that.

Most likely was. I seen a picture of a twister on the news this morning that looked huge..The picture was taken about 30 miles from my house. Not sure if it actually touched down or not.

Our weather guys & gals were freaking out over the bright sunshine we had yesterday morning. They said that the morning sunshine was just fuel to the fire.
