Tornado warnings in my county. My surge protector kicked out the 'puter a couple of minutes ago. LOUD thunder. Waiting for the wall of rain to arrive shortly. Winds up to 70 mph reported in the area. I'm ready to head for the basement if necessary.

Near Moraine State Park, I think. Ohio sent them over to us it seems. We still have tornado warnings in W PA.

The son in law just got sent home from work after destructive winds knocked them offline, no one hurt but several cars in the parking lot damaged. This was our second amazing line of storms to go through today.
