Here's a very good meteorological discussion of the tornadoes in Dover and Long Island NY.

I felt my buddy would have some better pictures from the tornado, damage in both Eastern York and Colombia but unfortunately, there was nothing really groundbreaking there. However, here's the 42lb Flathead my buddy landed with a light action, bass rod and 12lb test after one, hell of a half hour battle in a gnarly exposed diabase hole in Colombia last night.

Tornado Alley runs thru IL!

This large tornado-warned supercell has gone straight southwards towards Sterling, Colorado

May was my wettest month. July and August have been dry.

A gut punch. It appears that the dynamics were not enough to overcome the stubborn cloud cover over the NE quadrant of NC. An anemic 0.19" for the day. Glad I got the 0.33" yesterday so I at least break 0.50" for the week.

Sad how Alonso has been everything the Os had hoped he would be, and it has made zero difference. That speaks volumes about where this team is(or isnt).

Weird how the Os seem to be able to find ways to beat the Rays, probably the second best team in baseball.

This was the confirmed tornado near Granville IL at 7:16 central

Make that 18,000 ft. flow 290 - 360

Poor Nam 3k

I think that may be the only weakness Elias may have improved on: understanding the importance of not just any old veteran leadership, but leadership with pedigree. That was sorely missing those years...and I think it would've made a huge difference!

I don't know...when he said publically that he was embarrassed by where we were...while saying the opposite in front of Elias a couple weeks before...you don't think that was strange?

@MGorsegreat job by Mt. Holly on the rapid damage assessment. Tornado Watch verified.

Good luck with that fantasy lol.

Not competitive...THIS year. And that last sentence...assumes the perpetual rebuild will continue. Rubinstein fires Elias that entire paradigm will change. The remaining 4 years could be much more fruitful than the first. That reality is not set in stone my friend. Now if Elias stays...problem. But that's far from settled, imo

Never said he wasn't dude. He is a great hitter. But this team is NOT competitive, and he might be wasting his best years here, so maybe it might be best for both parties to trade him so he can get with a winning team, make them better, give him a chance to win something, while the Os can get more young talent and continue their perpetual rebuilding mode. The sad reality. Deal with it.

Torrential rain tonight

Looks like TK found some “alternative facts” from a German denier

0.38" from nice little storm earlier. Had 40mph winds as well.
