A bomb LOW system is coming through our area today.  High winds are already here and may cause wind shear problems for traffic bound for CLE, CAK, CMH and CVG.  The National Weather Service has issued tornado watches and warnings already... and it's still very early in the day.  Please be safe; bring in patio furniture and consider where you can find shelter if a tornado warning is issued.

I don't mind severe weather but it is the high winds that, well, to be honest scare the sheet out of me. I heard the winds in Chicago were blowing tractor trailers over.... I have to work tonight and am heading to South Bend with a Tractor Trailer.... pulling doubles.... DAMN!

Tornado Warning was issued for where I live at 11:15AM, and cancelled at 11:45am. Storm was moving at 70mph, and only lasted 15 minutes....BUT IT WAS SWEET

We got a few wind gusts, but it pretty much pooped out before it hit us.  Sure made for a pretty sunset - and I did see one rainbow.

And the photos are where?

Nice one's Michi. I cannot say much I did not snap any. But did take it in fully with my eyes this time. Sometimes it is nice to not have a camera all the time. Even though I carry one all the time.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Yeah, it was still raining, I was debating between just enjoying it, running in the house and getting the G10 or my brand new 7D which mind you is pretty much water proof but I couldn't get myself to do it.  So the G10 won...  Besides, the 7D is so complicated, I don't really know how to use it yet.

Dude....ive seen Wiggle Wagons get blown about. Took me 20 mins jus to pass up a UPS triple trailer once on the turn pike. That last trailer simply had a mind of its own.

It wasn't bad at all last night..... I was worried about the winds but it wasn't anything extraordinary. It helped that my lead was 21G and my kite was 17G and some change. Trust me, I know all about that kite man, they do what they want when they want.... I've found myself swearing at it sometimes in the rain.
