I think this is what it means to see a bright light when you look down the tunnel. It's probably a train. http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/uppermissvly_loop.php

It's still 110 miles off. Is it too late to buy a generator?

use your scuba gear...I think I know where you can get a fairly new solar panel for nix. WRT the pretty blob, it's only a Rohrschack test...tell me son, what do you see?

I see....a flood for someone in Kansas. We have a 100% chance of rain tonight. I don't think I've ever seen that. I got 1.7 inches in the last round. Now I'm only 17 inches under for the last few years. If if rained 2 inches tonight my pond will fill. If it rains 3 inches I'll get 7 acre-feet of water in a pond with a capacity of 10 acre-feet. If I get 4 inches I'll get 14 acre-feet...
Of course this is all wishful thinking. In actuality I'll get a trace tonight and I'll be whinin' about the drought in about 6 weeks.

One thing about feeding fish...if your pond doesn't have flow through, the nutrients start to build up, and in my case the salt. My big pond (I guess 1.25 isn't that big) is very "hot" right now as far as nutrients go. It wouldn't hurt to flush it once every five years or so. That way my nutrients can end up contributing to the Mississippi delta.

I think it wants to rain in Indiana here pretty soon.

...the Rohrschack blob has arrived in Illinois. I think guys like Rangersedge (further south) are closer to the epi-center. The leading edge just dumped a pre-curser of dime sized hail...let the show begin.

It's raining here. The total including last night is just reaching 1.2 inches. Very slow and steady, with a ten hour break in the middle. Still no runoff. The 2.9 inches total since the snow has brought my pond up about 2.91 inches, but it's reaching critical mass. 5 years of drought has left our ground as one humongous sponge.

The weather service has informed me that a "multi-vortex tornado" is heading my direction, but it's about 55 miles away. I'm trying to think of something prophetic to say, but pretty much every good line has been used already by Theo.

Thanks burger! The town of Beatrice was first in line, which is south of here. Hope they're all OK. So far Lincoln is just in a "watch" and not a "warning". It still makes me really uneasy. My partner got hammered by a tornado two years ago.

Good luck, Bruce. Here's something inspirational to see you through this time of trial:
"Never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Then, if you like the shoes, keep 'em. What's he gonna do about it - a mile back and barefoot?" :p

Watch this radar. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=ddc&product=N0R&loop=yesThis is how big storms start. See the warm and cold air rubbing against each other near Dodge City? This stuff worries me a little bit. Somebody's gonna get hammered in about 5 hours.

Sure enough, a tornado has been spotted just west of Lincoln. We are in a tornado warning. We're ready to take shelter. Those sirens are scary.

Good luck and keep your head down. The pic is real I believe. A PB member sent it to me just after bad weather in that area.

I say tornay-do. You say tor-nahdo.
Several touchdowns were reported with about 80 miles of here. Closest one was probably 15 miles away.
My pond got absolutely hammered. Looks like maybe 5 inches! If so, then I've got a huge cleanup on my hands, but I haven't been able to get there yet. Maybe tonight.
