Severe Weather Outbreaks 2014

a reply to: jhn7537
I agree. I love when it's storming during the day time. I like to be able to see it all coming towards me, and knowing if it's actually producing something around me. It's hard enough to see it here in the Eastern part of the country with all of the trees and hills, let alone when it's coming at night...

That funnel went right over me. I took a few hail shots to the head cause I wanted to see. lol I'm still trying to calm down.

Edit to add: Whew okay that was fun. I was watching this storm on radar form in the foothills west of me. I got excited and sure enough the sirens were going off. I ran outside to check it out like I always do. Scary stuff. My adrenaline is still goin a bit. Be safe out there guys. Those clouds are still spinnin.

I love to watch it storm. WOW...I guess Chicago is gonna get slammed.

I miss the storms in northern Indiana.

Everyone stay safe.

One forecast here says 2" of rain overnight. We need some rain but!!! High winds and the PGA is all setup in town for the tournament and that could create a real mess. 10 years ago the 17th the storm had 98 mph winds and we were shut down for a week.

Tornado warning in western Nebraska. Confirmed tornado near Mitchell, NE.

Yeah, I love storms as well. Really amazing things to watch and track. I keep the weather channel on all day when there are outbreaks in other parts of the country. Sadly every storm this year has dodged my area.

Here in Naperville we just got a weather report for tennis ball sized hail coming here in the next 20 minutes with 60+ mph wind gusts...

No joke, this is one of the most intense hail storms I've ever been in... Sounds like my house is being bombarded... so loud..

Sample of the hail size..

That's pretty big! Hopefully it didn't cause any damage.
