Late-breaking news … already had reported tornadoes in Windsor, several rounds of hail here along with downpours of rain, and another cell — reportedly showing rotation — due to arrive here in about half an hour. It’s like being back in Missouri — the sky to the south is a sickly green and hanging very low. I’d head to the basement with the radio, canteen, and army blankets, but I don’t have a basement. It’s also really, really quiet. I’m excited. I know, I know — but I was the one who always wanted to run outside to see the baddest, wildest storms.
I called Carol to make sure she was keeping an eye on the weather, and she was up to her chin in re-routing buses. It sounded like a command post in the background.
Here’s a webcam shot from my neighborhood, taken at 12:20 (about 40 minutes ago).
I just took these shots at 1:00. Starting to hear thunder now … it’s making the dogs bark.
