@aart, I hope the storm is not impacting you!

Tornados are reported in Portage, MI (Near Kalamazoo).

Had some thunder lighting and downpour....not much wind tho.
Yes watching the coverage of the tornado in Portage earlier, now another one has been spotted.

 

[Sally PB]

Yeah.

The main weather person has family in Portage. You could hear her voice breaking, and the other guy took over for her.

I think she's heard that they're ok. She's still on the air.

Keep praying fore all of you.
I was out all day with the neighbor we are pretty good friends.

Ellen Bacca around 6 ish? It sounded like she was trying not to sob, or giggle. Blake Harms said, it's ok, I'll take over.

Ah, I was watching later than that and he was on.

Glad it missed me here, puts my flooded garage into perspective.

Good morning Cafè. Big pot of coffee is ready.
I've been up since 2:30 because I had to take C to the Syracuse airport for a 6:00 a.m. flight.
I just got home with the dogs, fed them, did the chickens and now I'm eating my breakfast and heading out the door to work.
I got about 4 hours of sleep last night. I hope I don't face plant into my keyboard.

No damage or problems by me. But Portage, MI was hit twice. 14 tornados in Michigan, awaiting confirmation by the National Weather Service.

Some injuries, no fatalities reported. LOTS of buildings damaged or destroyed. Pictures of a house that was lifted off its foundation and turned upside down. A FedEx facility has some major damage.

Someday it'll be "our turn." If that was last August (70 mph winds, some trees down, and a 4 day power outage), we are Lady Luck's own child.

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL!

Scary to read about all the weather brewing (especially in places where it wasn't common in the past).

Good afternoon Cafe.
