Title: Weird weather
Post by: Porter on December 31, 2010, 10:34:36 AM: Wow we've been going through some crazy weather here. Midnight the storm sirens went to blowing and in the shelter we went. Supposed to be some damage around here, but everything is fine here. Parents are going through a 2" + hail storm right now 25 miles east of me. Mom hates these storms and it's picking up intensity.

60 degrees right now and supposed to be 20 by late afternoon. A major cold front moving through :(

I've seen more terrible tornados this time of the year than Spring. Arkansas is getting hammered from what I'm reading (South of us). Reports of several twisters touching down around here already.

Storm is moving North East, so looks like it might head up into Illinois area. Everyone be safe that is in the path of these storms!

I was afraid of that Shad. I saw that storm rolling toward your area and it never let up. Be careful!
