bonehead, do you work in IT by any chance? I wonder if we are mistranslating the G into Giga instead of Grand.

What gets me about the article is that the author thinks 75 million is a third of the country when in fact it's just under a quarter (or 23.6%).

Edit: Yes, if you hadn't noticed by now, I can be very pedantic.

It's 75 Million under the watch (or warning, I didn't read the article). Most of them won't be very close to anything very serious. But the potential is there.

Just hit a couple major cities, or an entire state, you can get there pretty quick. But it is not that unusual. I am not sure why they are making a big deal about this now. Those sorts of numbers are common for any big weather outbreak in the Eastern 3rd of the US.

This map shows the tracks from the outbreak we had April 27, 2011. The pink track is the one that came closest to my home and caused all the damge. I live in Madison, just outside of Huntsville.

I feel for those lost the mid west, but it ain't over yet. We expect the worst to reach us this afternoon. Schools are closing early as are most businesses.

Take care of yourself.

Ah, no wonder. That explains what's wrong with you.

LOL....I completely missed this post from earlier. Good one, yet predictable.

Ah, ok. Public forums are the best place for those. My bad.

I agree. They are the best place for those. I like leaving most posters in the dark(most are there already)

At 5 am got the iphone warning about tornados potentially in our area. Luckily it went east of us so we were good. After looking on radar the gulf looks just engulfed in a huge storm . May see that one soon based on the way it lookks yo be headed our general direction.

I guess my basement may just come in handy.

That came through my area yesterday evening and into the night. Mostly just some good thunderstorms, nothing too serious this far north. Still, keep an eye on it. You know how these things can re-charge in unstable air.
