In Toledo, Ohio. Time right now is 7:04pm ??????????????????

Why are you on the computer? Get in an interior room closet, or something!!!

Scary!!

I remember two warnings when we lived in Toledo and the sky got ugly and a funnel spotted but did not touch down.

We had lots of them when we lived in SE Iowa. We were right in tornado alley!!

Stay safe!!

Keep us posted.

The whole sky was grey & it had been raining (or at least light showers if not "rain") since the middle of the night. A guy on TV said "the conditions were perfect for a tornado". I don't even know if there was one.

barb, You know Toledo...ugly with grey skies late Dec. till mid April. It fills your heart with joy to see a blue sky.There were little floods all over (we saw wild ducks by a creek while driving near home). Our corner to about 200 feet up the street always floods (gezzz, there were kids riding their bikes in it & it looked like at the deepest point the sewer water (yuk) came up about 10 inches).
Where did you live, barb? We live in the north west side about 5 miles south of Michigan. Before 'a city was built', Toledo was mostly mud. Why do you think the mascot for the city baseball team is a mud hen? You were rather smart to leave. The thing that keeps us here is my DH's job & aging parents (the other siblings left). It's not too exciting here either. The only ppl here were those born here. http://www.metrolyrics.com/saturday-...hn-denver.html

Glad you survived the night, lor! I get really scared when we get tornado warnings while it's dark out. You just can't see what's happening out there. We tend to get our fair share of tornado warnings here, but they haven't started yet,although Sat night we had thunder & lightning storm w/tons of rain for 2 days. The local rivers/creeks are flooding.

I'm east of Toledo, glad that just blew over. If storms didn't give me such a migraine, it wouldn't bother me so much. Actually the clouds - T storm clouds - are kind of cool to watch. That was awful early in the season for tornado warning tho, wasn't it? doesn't that usually wait till April or May?

Yes it does seem early. I wonder if it has something to do with global warming?

Could be. Or it could just be our wacky Ohio weather. I've had Iris bloom in January. At least it's never boring!

It was spotted in the south (in Monclova).

Speaking of wind....the Wright Brothers flew at Kitty Hawk because it's so dang windy in Ohio in late Nov. to May. (they lived in Dayton Ohio & they flew in Dec. 1903 (I read that & remember because my grandma was born in 1903)).
