Wow!!! that's some amazing stuff right there. Good to hear from you. I was concerned, since you've been AWOL here all winter.

86 mph gust at KMIE. Multiple semis blown over on I 69 south of FWA.

I wondered why you haven't mentioned chasing when you've had several opportunities to fairly close by recently. I'm like you about the hordes of chasers. I remember when I could go on a chase in Indiana and be the only car out there. Jackstraw is seriously right about the other chasers being more dangerous than the storm itself. I will still do it if it's within an hour's drive though.

I would agree. The remnant outflow was clearly visible on satellite for a long time before the cell interacted with it. It appeared to move south for several miles and then became stationary.

Someone mentioned last night that they shut the sirens off. That is the typical procedure. Once a tornado warning is issued, they sound sound the sirens, usually for 2-3 minutes, depending on the jurisdiction, then shut down. Another misnomer is that they sound them when the threat has passed. The sirens will sometimes be sounded a second time if it's a long leashed warning, say 15 minutes or more before the tornado actually gets close to the siren's warning area. As someone who used to work on them, you don't want to hear that for 15-30 minutes if you live near the siren.

I think someone already mentioned this, but your shingles are toast.

Wow. Glad you're safe dude.

Probably not a lot to hit where it's at right now

I hope ChicagoWX is done with his mail route.

Thanks. It's like an updated version of the old Earl Barker site.

Yeah, I saw that too, but am kinda skeptical. I'm still thinking the MCS will be the main show here. And yes, keep the stones well north.

I was gonna say Rensselaer, but close enough.

A couple of brush fires and a stiff onshore wind would burn down half of the state.

Solid band has persisted overnight making its way well inland.

FWA is surrounded on three sides by farmland.
