Today, I am getting heavy rainfall this morning with actual cloudy overcast ...
kind of eerie looking outside, rather depressing !!
The High is gonna reach 82 and the rain will change to actual
Thunderstorms by noon.
Although storms, they are NOT supposed to be that severe !!

That is one nice thing about living in Wyoming..."severe" out here doesn't automatically conjure up the kinds of images like those that people in the Midwest/Plains think of when they hear that word.

I just can't believe we're gonna have temperatures in the 50s tomorrow for our high .
MsMofoGone said:You're real lucky then ... as I live in the Midwest !!
When we get severe weather ... usually that means duck and cover (take shelter)

WOW !! Please send that weather over here to Central Illinois !! I think all the people in this state would faint, if that weather was here for even one night !!
It's just NOT possible during this month !!

There's apparently an actual tornado on the ground near a town in the southern part of the county right now . We also had a severe thunderstorm warning for our part of the county earlier-had some pretty good hail come down there for a minute or two.

anyone in the southern part of the county's gonna wanna be on the lookout.
MsMofoGone said:WOW ... hopefully the tornado isn't major and won't be in anyone's path !!

As for hail, yeah I know what that's like !!
I used to park my automobile outside ... One day when we had hail with a severe storm, it dented my entire car from hood to roof to trunk !! The absolutely crazy thing was when I reported it to my insurance, they were NOT going to cover the damage as they do NOT cover damages caused by an Act Of God.

I moved 6 mos. later from my apartment and found a home with a garage because of that reason !!

If their warning was early enough, I'm sure those people have taken immediate shelter !! I hope everything's alright for them!!

Don't know how big it is, but my dad just got a call from someone who's at the station right now that there was apparently some damage in one of the towns down there. Don't know right now whether the damage was minor or major, though-hopefully minor.

The hail dented your entire car? . Wow.
MsMofoGone said:Lemme know, what happened ... hopefully all is alright there !!

It was reported as slightly bigger than golf ball size and falling at a speed of 20 MPH !!
Talk about a headache ... I remember some people who were mentioned as ending up in the hospital with a minor concusion ... because when they were hit by the hail, it actually stunned them to a point of feeling light-headed and dizzy !!

Apparently a sherriff in that area reported two funnels coming together to form one tornado. And while the southern part of the county had the tornado warning for a while, I guess the town down there that I mentioned yesterday that had reports of damage really didn't actually have any warning after all

But it's just so weird, that whole thing just kinda blew up out of nowhere. One minute it's quiet and calm, the next it's storming and there's tornado warnings
MsMofoGone said:That's absolutely terrible !!
You know, actually the weather forecasters are getting to be ridiculous !!
I mean, why they can't pinpoint a tornado's location better
(especially with that new doppler radar)
Early warning is so-ooo crucial as it is our only line of defense ...

Yeah really, that's what I've always heard happens before a tornado develops ... Totally Unbelievable !!
