Lost power here briefly during a svr thunderstorm.

Lucky you lol.  That OFB from this morning settled just N of IND.  Every round of storms ended up riding it veering just to my south. It feels and sounds like garden variety Aug thunderstorms out there for the last 2 hours.  Heck of a light show.  Saw some models late last night ramp some storms up after midnight with the cold front.  Not looking too sporty now.

Missed the hail from this afternoon's storms just north of me.  Had some rain but nothing as heavy or svr as this evening's storm.

Special weather statement for Cook county has the storm movement at 85 mph!

Did it get a ticket? lol.  As much as this system was a "dud" so to speak it certainly was a distraction from whats been going on, especially since the next couple weeks are looking dismal weather wise in our forum and health wise worldwide.  The big tornado in AR, I can't imagine with the stress of the last couple weeks and to have that on top of it, no way.  I really hope as we move further into severe season it stays dull as hell until we get a grip on this virus thing.  The weather nerd in me is screaming no but I can't imagine the stress of losing life and property on top of what's going on.  Hope we have a mellow severe season through June as much as that pains me to say.  

Cheers :beer:

Certainly not often you can say “good thing we were isolated at home due to a virus”, but it is sounding like that is the case in Jonesboro. Reports and aerial photos are showing heavy damage to the mall and business district, an area reportedly nearly empty due to virus precautions. Certainly numerous injuries and fatalities avoided.
 

You would certainly normally consider a mall taking a direct hit at 5-6pm on a Saturday a worst case scenario.
