Real weather occurs anywhere but here...

SKY WATCH FRIDAY time! I am busy busy with stimulus yuck, so I might not get a chance to say hi. Please don't take offense. Our hosts: Klaus Sandy Ivar Wren Louise Fishing Guy

Thanks, also,to Dot and Tom, who were instrumental in the success of this blogging event. You should definitely come fly with us!I took this shot 2 years ago, when I caught a glimpse of this amazing tower with the stunning crepuscular rays shooting out from behind it and the dark shafts of rain falling below. This is a scene much like what we have been seeing for the last many days with evening isolated thunderstorms dropping rain sporadically (not at my house). Last night, we had quite a storm, with thunder booming steady. The day before, I hear the hospital was struck by lightning, which caused some electrical disturbances, and I know power was knocked out momentarily in places, causing some intersection confusion. It's been nothing too terribly exciting. All the exciting stuff is happening elsewhere. A large part of the central US, into Alabama is expected to have a chance at some severe weather, as is the northeast... It appears that right now, southern Nebraska and northern Mississippi are getting powerful lines now with significant wind and rain. Northern Alabama today should be on the lookout for some nasty stuff. If you are in the green outlined sections, keep an ear out for your weather radio. The rain with these systems is outrageous. Flash flood warnings are plastered all over northern Mississippi and southeast Arkansas. Clicking on the warning map here to the right above will show you where the current warnings are.

Hope you have a great day!
