We were under a tornado warning here in central Ohio that just ended a little while ago. Apparently there were reports of a funnel cloud just a little northeast of us. Had the sirens and everything.

What a fun weather season we're having this year!

Hello Kelly,
We were awakened almost every half hour last night by our weather band radio. It went off with warnings of Tornado watches from 1:30 a.m. until 5:45 this morning. I didn't hear much except for some distant thunder. Michael said we had some rain last night, but I didn't hear a thing. It's very blustery out right now. I was out trying to help Michael in the yard, but the wind was too much for me. It is a lovely day today though.

Doesn't FFM live in or near Seymour? I just saw some nasty pictures from there on the internet. I think we are now getting the storms you guys had yesterday, under Tornado watch until 8pm.

I'm sorry I didn't check in this morning. Things were pretty much over for Arkansas after my last post, last night.

I've been busy with mothers day and haven't checked the board.
Has anyone heard from Kay since last night?

I haven't seen any news today. Only what I have read online.

I'm hoping things will calm down some. People here are sooooo weather weary. We've had tornado's, then ice, then two more rounds of tornado's.

I just spoke with FFM - they are all fine. I am sure she will check in before the night is out.

We're having (or had) such gusty winds here. It's quieted down a bit this morning. There is widespread damage all over the south metro Atlanta area - probably about 60-80 miles south of me. Also west of me at the GA/AL line in Carroll County.

I just heard on the news that a woman was killed yesterday when a tree fell on her. This happened about 2 miles from where I live!!

I'm so glad everyone checking in here is OK.

Kelly....wasn't that wind plain out freaky????
The trees looked like they could snap in-two at any givin second.......

THAT is what kept me worried. I am guessing that is what had our power and phones out...a tree on the lines somewhere. It is so calm and peaceful here at 5 am this morning....very cool (41) and the stars are shining bright......

Yes, it was!! I took my bird feeder off the hook it hangs on in the backyard 'cause I thought it was going to fly off and break the window!! The wind was upwards of 40 mph!!!

All our power and cable lines are underground in our subdivision and we still have power (never lost it). It's much calmer this morning. I wonder what the birds do during a windstorm like we had? They're all back out this morning eating - they must make their nests with glue!!
