Had a severe thunderstorm warning for my area with 80mph destructive winds and 2" hail. The warning came blaring over my cellphone but no sirens sounded. The warning specifically mentioned my town so I herded the wife and dog to the basement in case a tree decided to come down on the house. Fortunately the worst of the storm looks like it passed just north of me. Currently under a Flash Flood Warning.
