Oh what a night....

So, I guess my post from yesterday was oddly timed.

Today, the western part of the state was ravaged with tornados.


Probably some of the worst tornados we've ever seen -- one of the stations estimated that one of the two that touched down, was on the ground for 30 minutes. Craziness....


We've got thunderstorms my way - though they aren't nearly as severe as storms we've had previously; at least not yet. But here are a few shots of the sky from my front yard before they started.


The calm before the storm, so to speak....

It sure was wild. Shocking news that there were 4 fatalities today.

It is odd, in juxtaposition with yours from yesterday, but that's the chance you take around here. Those shots of the twister touching down on the river in Springfield were awe-inspiring and mightily scary.
