    They say some big stuff is coming in from Iowa. Thunder, lighting, hail and maybe tornadoes:eek:--oh my! My daughter was going to go camping and took off from work this week. I told her to put up the tent in her basement.
    Mother knows best.;)

    Raining here too, but not hard and no tornadoes. It keeps the fire danger down here, but some summers it never stops until it turns to snow.

    I just looked at the radar for Wisconsin, and that does look like it could be severe storms, @Mary Stetler . Do you have a safe place if there are tornadoes ?

    We didn't have rain today, but we've had plenty of it, which is not unusual for spring.

    We have a good basement.
    I had bought a solar emergency radio, years ago, that didn't work. I swore at it but left it all this time in our south window. It worked fine last nite. Good to know.
    The thunderstorms came and left a lot of rain but the really bad stuff took a left and went north or us. Sirens were going off but no tornadoes happened. This morning I hear chain saws. Haven't been to the farm yet but no texts from daughter this morning.

    That is good news ! The first thing I saw when I opened my ipad as about a tornado destroying a town, and I was worried about you, but when I looked, it happened in Iowa, and not Wisconsin .
    The tornadoes that come through Alabama seem to veer either north or south of us here in Huntsville, too, thankfully.
