Got about 2.4" of rain over night and today. Storms died down about 3am. At least I think they did, I went to bed. The rain today was heavy at times. Should sleep good tonight.
Weather in your area?

I just watched the weather.. The front doesn't get here until morning. Could get nasty.
Tonight I'll get intermittent showers, in fact it's raining now. Warm, moist air is streaming up from the gulf. It's over 70 degrees on my porch now. Hope it stays cloudy into the morning. Sunshine would only crank more power into the storms.

stole it off of face pamphlet.
10,000 without power. this photo was in a city about 20 miles from me. Lights flickered where I was hunkered down. At home power went out a couple of times. Hail in a lot of places. I wasn't in a good place to observe much.
It is raining now, and supposed to continue through tomorrow. We must be getting the northeastern most part of the front Supe42 showed in his post. No wind of any sighificance like what they are getting in Texas.

Our town tornado siren went off only once but I wasn't home, the at-homers said twice. We were only about a mile apart. Never have felt the building shift like that, never, from the wind. The building is very well built. Read something about someone saw their 200 lb. grill move across their patio like it was nothing.
Three school districts are closed tomorrow in the general metro area. One is near me, due to campus damages, and internet and electric outage, safety concern as well as some damage to the other two.

Fantastic weather over here; it hasn't been windy in ages, and we are high up. Maybe some snow next week? But it's cool and bright, great drying weather.
Raining now, raining later, and wind warnings when the front comes through
Nicer day today, some sun and 62°! Everyone in harm's way stay safe today. 
Copy cat!
YOU sent it this way, if my Taters Tots get wet there will be Trouble.
EAT THEM NOW!!
Storm was supposed to get here at 9am... it slowed over night. It'll be here 10:30-11am. So I'm just sitting and waiting.
The severe winds will be north of me 60+mph. Here, a little less at 50mph.

We are under a tornado watch until 5pm. Winds currently gusting 20.l to 30 mph. Suppose to have heavy rain from 2 till 4. Front is moving fast
Well watch out! The main town I work in looks like a war zone this morning!! Power out in the core of town! I think Patch was going to post a pic of the tornado over that town!
Hi guys. Yeah. last afternoon and this morning severe thunderstorms. At least it didn't go to tornado warnings as it was Wed evening for awhile.
Right now it's beautifully sunny. And I think we may be okay for most of the rest of the day. And it's 65* and I have windows open.

74F, wondering if I should plant tomatoes out in the garden or wait till May.
I spent all my barometer numbers to make that bribe
Looks like it may be time for an upgrade
.I get to check the accuracy of my barometer every time the center of a 'spinny-thing' passes over us and they are reporting the pressure in millibars every 5 minutes.
It is dead on!
Beautiful weather here today, I may get outside and water the trees & plants after I knock out some household chores. For some reason, I'm moving slowly today, even though I didn't party heavily or anything last night. Maybe it's a seasonal thing, the end of winter or whatever... but I'm lagging hard, lol.
Well storm blew thru in maybe hour and a half. Airport reported 67mph. One mtn top reported 98, they always have the peK. Rain was moving thru in about an hour. I followed it home. Water running everywhere. We had .75 in my rain gauge when I got here.
Clear skys and beautiful now

Storm blew through here about 11am. There was a funnel high in the clouds. I could hear it and saw both in flow and out flow winds.
There were straight line winds for about an hour. A couple big pines are down over on the hill. There is a dead tree down on the fence of the lower pasture, can see it from the house.
Sun was out all afternoon, temp in the 60's.

, that was it's best impression of reading 28.03. (it's scale ends at 28.9) I have an old Airguide barometer that is dead nuts and a digital, but the digital is just no fun watch

Picture of the tornado over the town I work in!! I was amazed yesterday at the path of debris. The path is over the north side of the town. A lot of damage everywhere, but it's easy to see driving around where the tornado went! NICE weather the next few days, mid 70's, 80's Monday!!
Trees downed by north Alabama storms kill at least 2 people

The death toll is at 3 due to falling trees or storm injuries. (just in bama)
Heard last night 2 were killed by falling trees.
Gorgeous weather here, I'll be watering the trees and doing some yard work in a bit, just to enjoy that fresh air and sunshine! I thought about going for a bike ride, but it's Saturday, so there'll be folks heading up to Cloudcroft in this beautiful spring-like weather... better to wait till next week, when I have the pavement and trails to myself, lol. Those Winnebago Warriors in their RVs tend to bog down traffic while pulling the grade to Cloudcroft, so I'll skip the ride today. Meh, it's a nice day to be outside and do a little yard work, and exercise is good for you, lol...
