It was 82 here yesterday. I had to turn the ac on and I have to say, after seeing what you're dealing with, I'm not mad about it anymore

The news said that the tornado that hit Edwardsville, Illinois and destroyed entire towns in Kentucky might have been the largest in state history.

The devastation is unreal.

From a weather standpoint---a perfect set up.

cold air and warm humid air. mixing at the right spots.
Just no way to stop it.

Wednesday is going to be an interesting day.

We are under a high wind warning like I've never seen this time of year. I've never seen one like this even for the normal spring season.

The warning actually says to "expect wind gusts in excess of 75mph" and "widespread power outages".

You should have seen the radar signature. The debris field was LARGE.

We're getting something similar in Colorado. The NWS says,

Wind in these areas (Denver and others) will blow 30 to 50 mph with gusts between 60 and 80 mph. Wind-prone places in and near the foothills may see gusts as strong as 100 mph, the NWS reports.

It looks like I should bring the lawn furniture indoors.
