It is 6:21 now in Indiana-a couple of hours ago we were in our basement-with battery operated radio and favorite photographs, coats, boots and water jugs feeling a little idiotic but, safe. The sirens warning of tonadoes were wailing, 1.75 " in diameter hailstones were pounding parts of Indianopolis and in other areas, smaller but nonetheless grusome hail was slinging across the landscape. The rain was torrential and the sky was that weird color that seems to always preclude a tornado warning.
None hit here-but we were dead in the line up of storm cells rolling up, from the south west to the NE-nasty suckers. Evil clouds. Big winds.
Quite a change from the beautiful, if windy, sun shiney morning we had earlier.
Hope everyone in Ohio stays safe. Having seen the Xenia, Oh tornado in 1972, up close and personal-I know tornado warnings are NOTHING to smirk at. Ever.
Glad you're safe, Republic.
