I missed all of it because of the Relay for Life, but when I made it back to TWC, I heard all the statistics. Terrible.<BR/><BR/>Cherie, THANKS!!! Glad you were able to learn something. Probably not the best idea to run out onto the porch during a thunderstorm, but I tend to have the same less-than-smart behavior.<BR/><BR/>Daniel, Thanks!!<BR/><BR/>Champ townboy, Thanks and you're welcome.<BR/><BR/>R&J, Takes a ton of patience and LUCK!<BR/><BR/>Nathan, Snow...?

I only wish I had the amount of lightning (beautiful photos!) and storms that you guys down-south have.<BR/><BR/>We did record our first Spring touchdown in Wisconsin last weekend - EF1 with a total length of 27 miles. Luckily no human injuries, but 2 horses survived a barn collapse. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mkx/?n=tor-042508<BR/><BR/>Cheers! nathannathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006020020499749647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-88804262305566078112008-05-03T03:34:00.000-04:002008-05-03T03:34:00.000-04:00I have tried to catch but never managed ;),cool!I have tried to catch but never managed ;),<BR/>cool!TwD https://www.blogger.com/profile/12910002552933173867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-43885063722552091392008-05-02T15:58:00.000-04:002008-05-02T15:58:00.000-04:00Awesome shot!!

As always, I learned something.<BR/><BR/>We get very very very few lightening storms here in Western Oregon, so when we do - even if it's in the middle of the night - we all run out to the covered porch and watch. Maybe we're asking for it, but we've survived our folly all these years. ; ) How I love a good storm!Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089859839673632529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-41503174636007417022008-05-02T12:50:00.000-04:002008-05-02T12:50:00.000-04:00Sadly it looks like the severe outbreak today is t...Sadly it looks like the severe outbreak today is taking a deadly toll....These storms have been raging since around 7pm EST last night.<BR/><BR/><BR/>SCMStorm Chasing Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423054435529044197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-67062561442179446002008-05-02T12:39:00.000-04:002008-05-02T12:39:00.000-04:00Wow!
