Midwest has a huge risk of very severe weather today. The absolute worst of it is supposed to be in and to the west of Indy but in this system there is no "good" place to be..very gusty winds and very very high risk of long lasting tornados.


I post this for two reasons..the outlaws that live in the area. To put it simply watch your asses and stay aware of the situation. If you dont have the little home version of the NOAA weather radio i would very strongly advise getting one.


Secondly the NFL games. Ravens AT Bears at 1 pm and Browns AT Bengals at 1 PM. These are in the hot spot times for this severe weather..like it could be another one of those weekends where they push those games to Monday or even Tuesday. Just be prepared either way.

Batoning down the hatches as we speak

I hope your domicile prevails unscathed.

Looks like it going to miss us slightly to the east... work, my parents, and many friends and relatives still in the path... Tornado in Frankfort now... fucking scary I already packed a buncha shit ready to head underground... looks unnecessary now

 

[gizzil]

Bears game was shut down about a half hour ago and coverage of the storm began... Pekin is a wreck...

 

[gizzil]

Radar has the Bend getting some action later but should be ok... Washington, Manhattan also hit by the or a tornado looks like... really nasty... La Salle area is mostly trailers... looks like rubble... Nikki should have been fine she's even further west

 

[gizzil]

really bad... apparently the system could pick up steam as it travels east again... watch out guys... damn I can't load these pics...

A few downed trees in my neighborhood but my family survived unscathed

had tornado's reported from Indy to western OH. We got lucky, we spent some time in the basement, but mostly just got wind.

 

[mudloggerone]

All you folks with basements are a lot luckier than we are as we can't have them due to the very shallow water table.

 

[MongerKhan]

I have never even seen a basement in real life.

 

[mudloggerone]

I was in one once as a kid Khan up in Illinois at an Uncle's house.

So they do exist......

So they do exist......

They are the greatest part of the Midwest! Holds cool temperatures in the summer, keeps out sunlight for sleeping in on the weekends, and are known for home theaters and man caves.

 

[gizzil]

As the weather patterns shift most of our basements will be flooded... the one at work has seen over 8 feet three times... imagine a whole store and dock's worth of storage space with... nothing...We used to store untold inventory down there...

Im actually back in Chicago by soldier field and mccormick place. That storm was crazy.

 

[Phicinfan]

its snowing like gang busters here right now, after we had about a half inch of ice last night

 

[Phicinfan]

More ice for sunday in this area as well.

 

[mudloggerone]

Not anything to be happy about weather wise in NE Texas either.
