We just got the Tornado watch here but the front won't get here till midnight. Looks like a long night. I wished we'd get over it before dark .
This storm system is amazing. Now my wife's family is under the gun in Ohio. This storm is heading right for them, but thankfully has apparantly weakened.

Just found out that my nephew was in the area looking at property to purchase when this went through. He ended up in a residents basement. The lady graciously opened her home up to 20 strangers that were needing shelter from the tornado.
Prayers for the good samaritan...I don't know if her home was damaged or not.
