System is supposed to be in North Alabama tomorrow. TWC and locals already posting "heads up".
Please tell me this isn't heading my way again.....we've already had over 3ins of rain today and my backyard is flooded.....I'm in central Il right outside Decatur..
I hope it's not headed your way either cause I'm in St. Louis county, and it will hit us before it hits you, usually. I'm sick of these dangerous storms. Folks around here are still trying to clean up their storm damage from last weekend, sigh.
I'm sick of them too...we've been hit hard twice already around here and it's only the first part of April.
I am in extreme S.W. Mo and we are watching the radar closely. Right now, lots of big ones developing east of Tulsa headed our way.
Crap. I live in Wichita.
Nevermind. Looks like it already passed us. For those of you who are affected, go downstairs!
HERE IS ALL THE CURRENT WATCHES OUT NOW...
As you will see many of them are in effect until 4/7/06
click on..."Latest Watch Status Message" next to each warning. Warning 159 is the most recent, but warning 158 and other before it are still in effect right now.
THIS STORM IS GOING TO EFFECT A WIDE AREA...

KMOV in St. Louis is now running warning banners across the bottom of the TV screen.
Just great!.......
