Here we go again.

Thanks. Storms are winding down but a cold front is about to pass through and there is a line of storms associated with it.

There was significant damage just North of us today. I heard of one family who lost their home last April in that wave of storms. They rebuilt their home and moved in a month ago only to lose it again today. Sad. I am thankful we are safe.

Take good care.
There certainly does seem to be more weather extremes lately.

This is just a couple miles from my home to the West. It did not start raining at our house until about 45 min. ago. Crazy.

This just a few miles North of us.

This even closer, just to the Northwest.

Thankfully we sustained no damage. Time to dust off the chainsaw and go help the neighbors...

Glad to see your ok Eric, neighbor helping neighbor that's what it's all about

Sh*t. The other day water from melting snow was pouring onto my terrace and I was already swearing.

I hope this isn't going to become an annual event in your neighbourhood, Eric. Looks like you had another lucky escape.
I'm still puzzling over picture 6. Did it really demolish 2 silos yet leave all the grain behind? I can't even begin to imagine how that works.

Not a good way to start off the season.

A friend of my mother in law's had a garage in the hit area. He was restoring a Lamborghini, his garage was damaged but the Lambo was not scratched at all.
