It's warm, humid and windy here today. Perfect tornado weather and we are under the first watch of the season. I'm not ready for this... :earseek:

Wow, that's early this year....isn't it? :confused:

We had a watch a week or so ago, today just high wind warning. Hang tight up there.

we had a tornado watch this afternoon in the next county. None touched down though. We had some nasty thunderstorms, though. Hey, it beats snow!!!

The tornado watch is north of us right now. We just have a wind advisory.

Last night we had a good storm though. Knocked the power off for quite a while.

I have a love/hate relationship with thunderstroms.

Where are you Jenn, I know the Tornado watch includes the entire Minneapolis metro area.

We are in Chippewa Falls, WI. The watch here is in the Rice Lake area.

Yes, he does.

When we lived in Nebraska he always got called in for severe weather. I have lots of memories of laying in the crawl space in my Brothers closet with my DB and DSister, looking at the egg sacks in the spider webs! :eek:

My Mom would bring us treats and we would have the radio on right by us listening to the weather updates.

Then when we moved to Iowa my Dad was promoted to Severe Weather Specialist. He had to survey a lot of tornado/storm damage.

Now that he is in Idaho he has fire season to deal with.

He loves it though. :sunny:
