So, today we had some bad storms! Worse than last weeks bad storms. My area was under a tornado warning and the town alarms were going off! It was bad. So I just went out side about five minutes ago and took some photos... It is 8:30 pm, and it was very very bright! (As a side not I love storms!)

I too love storms. I like the thunder, and love to see the lighting. (Don't want the twisters). I grew up in Kansas so we had plenty of both. Sure wish we could have some here, we are in our second week of heat advisories here. The heat index has been 105 - 108 and no rain in sight.

Storms are ok.... not liking the twisters or the accompanying cloud formations....

Hope they all gone now :D:D:D

We had some of that earlier in the week. Beautiful and scary at the same time. Love the pictures but be safe. :)

Yep - we were batting down the hatches here again ... with the tornado WARNING this time.

It wind sounded really weird and fierce!

Some just blew through here about 20 minutes ago. DD and I were driving home from church (about 16 miles). The wind was horrendous, but He kept us safe and even took the rain down to a light shower when we pulled up to the house. We got in with just barely getting wet. It looks like there's another one coming up--between here and Springfield.

I think your IL storms have reached central IN. We are getting hammered right now. Thank you so much. LOL
