Jeez louise we had an exciting night around here. Don't let anyone tell you Indianapolis doesn't know how to put in a show for its out-of-town guests. Just as Mellencamp was wrapping up his outdoor show down in the center of the city - where thousands of fans were running around outside, the tornado sirens started wailing, severe storms hit and every county in viewing range had reports of tornados on the ground (and we just had two tornados tear through here Friday night. Just a warm-up). Initial reports are that a tornado probably hit downtown, where windows were blown out of a high-rise, light poles and trees are down, and street lights have been turned totally around on their poles causing havoc with traffic.

I saw some people from California (go UCLA!) interviewed, and they were like "how in the hell can you live like this?"

I thought the people from Florida (Go Gators!) would be much less impressed, what with their hurricanes and whatnot, but they were tripping and also wondered what the hell just happened.

Anyway, it seems no one was hurt here and that's a miracle. My hometown Springfield IL was hit by tornados again last night (they just had two rip up the town 3 weeks ago), so I'm waiting to hear this morning's reports from there. The family's all fine, though, and it doesn't sound like there were fatalities in that area, so everything else is gravy.

GAL, Yeah, it was a really strange night last night!

I lost cable for 2 hours and although the tornado sirens didn't go off, stayed near the downstairs bathroom. The tornados were north and south of me, and Springfield got hit once (or twice) again. Gotta love that green sky!

The morning started out with such heavy rain that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. That's when the circuit breaker to my garage flipped off. No hail here, but a lady in southern Missouri took pictures of hail there for our TV station.

I think our death count down here is 13.

Yeah, they are fine. My brother works for Ameren and I'm sure that he won't be getting much sleep this week either.

Mom goes to Springfield for a Dr. Appt. today. Drs. office was in the path of the tornado that was by White Oaks Mall.

Just saw the news with the video of one of the tornados. The really wide kind that is so destructive.

We lucked out here. One tornado was to the north about 20 miles and the other big one was about 10-20 miles south.

I think that our death count is mostly western Ky or Missouri. I still don't know which of the five states they are talking about on the tv news.

It does seem like ya'll have had more than your fair share of rain Mamapors!

Our weather is downright bizarre here. Earlier this week was cold and nasty, dark clouds, wind, cold. That lasted right through til Thursday morning. Yesterday was gorgeous! 82 degrees, clear blue skies, just a touch of a breeze. We were wearing shorts and tank tops! I hopped out of bed this morning, jumped in the shower and threw on more shorts and tank top this morning. Walked out to the living room and took a peek outside and couldn't believe it. It was absolutely nasty today! More wind, dark clouds, cold and rain. What the heck is going on???

we've been (here in Savannah) in the 80's mostly for a couple of weeks and before that in the mid to upper 70's. so, we are all in shorts and t-shirts with sandals here and air conditioning.

Oh boy. pure happiness poured from the skies both yesterday and today. We have been in a 3-5 year drought with wild grass fires being spawned this year causing a statewide burn ban to be put into effect for several months. Finally we've had pleasant continuous rain for nearly two days. It's so beautiful because there were no tornado warnings accompanying the rain. Whoo whee fun yes!

We also have had 3 days of rain, but the yards really needed it, everything is getting nice and green. I just wish it would rain during the week instead of on the weekends.

ya know the expression, "Going from zero to 60, in 60 seconds." Well we have a whole new version of that around here.

We went from several feet of snow on the ground and temps in the low 20's to dry as a cracker and 90's in two to three weeks.

If I ever get hold of the idiot (that would be me) who came up with the idea of leaving the climate controlled central coast to move up here, I'll smack her in the head. >>>>Ouch

i agree dfennessey--where's the ark? they actually let us go at 3pm today--not so much because its raining so hard--but because its difficult to navigate around rt 97/rt 1 etc

It is pouring rain here. We don't need any more right at this time. It's flooding everywhere. Monday morning, I poured 4 1/2 inches of water out of my rain gauge. I'm sure that much more is in there now. I wish it would save some for later this summer when we really need it. Doesn't work that way, huh?

I heard we are supposed to be down in the low sixties tonight with a chance of thundershowers. Could it be? Here's hoping.
