Terrible storm coming.
Tornado warnings all over the place in our region, and we're going to get hit by those cells within an hour or so. There's a tornado warning due west of us, and the storm is moving east. Keep us in your thoughts. We're at our friend Erin's apartment, which is one-story, but not brick. No basement, so if the worst happens, we'll be huddling in the bathroom together.

Scary lightning outside and it isn't even here yet. I'll stay online as long as I can.

:scared:

1. Whereabouts? I think we're getting the fringe of that front up here
in Central New york, but so far it's just a gentle rain. I thought we were going to get a bad thunderstorm last night, but the front stalled over Michigan and Ohio yesterday and is only getting here now.

7. Morgantown, or elsewhere, Lyric?
Weatherunderground doesn't sound threatening.

9. It was Morgantown, ellen.
The tornado warning expired at 12:15 am, and the worst of the storm was past us by then. The closest we heard of any tornadic activity tonight was about five miles away, near a town called Everettville.

We're safe and trying to key down. Things were pretty scary there for a while.

Thanks for the good thoughts. :)

10. Update: all is well.
It passed without hitting us. Not sure about the rest of the city. We can't get to our mobile home park due to flooding and tree debris, so we're staying the night here with my friend.

Thanks all!!!
