Violent storms ripped across the South and Midwest Wednesday, producing dozens of tornadoes and severe thunderstorm warnings in parts of Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana.

This is on CNN, but they're showing pictures. So it might be true. Residents of listed states, please confirm.

Are they real tears or fake AOC-style tears?

They left out Mississippi. But can confirm, a tornado ripped right through our community. Cleanup is ongoing and power is still out, but we do have cell service and the roads are now clear.

Spring weather. Not man-made climate catastrophes.

Horrible!

We didn’t get tornados, Lake City Arkansas did.

However there has been significant flooding. Usually floods are isolated to the river bottoms like in 2011 but this time they were all over the city.

What was a cold front became a stationary front and it rained for around five days straight in western and central Tennessee.

Last week's news? Article says Wednesday.

I spent good portions of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday watching storm chasers on YouTube. I’m in Northern Illinois, so I wasn’t affected, but between the storm chasers and live weather reporters I knew in the southern states were under really severe conditions. I feel for those affected…

This is old news, it’s been a rough couple of weeks for the midwest - a fair amount of bad weather, tornados and some deaths - it’s as if Tornado Alley has moved East over the Mississippi river at least for now.

In the last 9 days, Louisville, KY has had experienced

• two tornadoes (both touched down in nearly the same location),
• over half a foot of rain, and now
• widespread flooding.

So much that they've had to cancel a major Derby event, Thunder Over Louisville, which normally brings 800,000+ spectators along the river downtown.

That's in addition to a January snow event that produced 10 inches of the white stuff in less than 6 hours topped by a layer of ice that lingered for weeks.

The ground has become so saturated that basements have water seeping through imperfections in the concrete.

Some are thisclose to googling plans to build an ark. 😧

The story was on Faulkner, as found on You Tube, as recent news. I thought there might have been a second wave of storms, and was looking for confirmation, and here was CNN being CNN, so not much help there.

Man-Bear-Pig counts you as his friend.

I wonder if Nicole Wallace will come on and gloat about all the “racists” that have been eliminated, like she did about NC.

It wouldn’t be a surprise……
