Got a strong storm just north of me right now. It'* storm after storm. Sunday there was a tornado miss my house by just two miles. No warning what so ever. The TV said a tornado was sighted, I woke up my wife and ran outside. The sirens went off but the tornado was already gone. The whole summer has been like this. And it just keeps coming.

I did get a few pictures

Ummm, SEND THEM MY WAY!!! We haven't had a good storm, or rain for that matter in a long time!

The best tornado detector? Get a scanner and monitor your local amateur radio operators. Depending on the area, you may have a lot of Skywarn Certified ops that communicate w/NOAA and others.

Yea my early summer was like that. Had a tornado come within a mile of the house. Our power line wound up across the driveway

I love an occasional big storm. I don't think I would enjoy them much if they kept coming one after another.

It'* been one after the other for the last few weeks.

Mike you can glady have all the storms from around here! everytime it rains i miss out on hours at work. i had a twister last month come through within a mile of the house and screwed a lot of things up by the time we were notified about it it had been on the ground for 40 minutes!! and was already at the Iowa Illinois border

This was tonight.

WOW Dan! That'* some wicked looking clouds!

Hey I thought you liked twisters? I remember you stating that it gives you work

Wow. That'* absolutely insane. I've seen a few storms up here in Northern Illinois, but nothing like that.

I hope none of those hits you guys.
