I guess the leading edge just passed over us which was nothing more than some big drops of rain, wind, lightning thundering. But that is all calm now, but I saw somewhere they're talking about 9:00 or later tonight when we start getting into the rain. The Kentucky governor has already been on the news.

I live on top of a hill now because I grew up living on the edge of the swamp now on the other side of the road. If the 15 in of potential rain comes quickly, we will not flood at the house but we won't be able to get off our Hill.

Paducah is in the middle of tornado predicted pass. It supposed to start around 9pm. Wish us luck

I live on Whidbey Island, which is north of Seattle by about 40 miles. Two years ago we had 27 trees come down in a wind storm. Not much rain but lotsa wind. Mostly alders. This last winter we had 8 trees come down, one was a big hemlock. So we have a bunch of stuff to clean up. Just more fire wood. But our winds and rain pale in comparison to what CloverKnollFarms is experiencing just now. As an aside, could you maybe sign your posts with something shorter than CloverKnollFarms? Like Frank or Henry or Nancy or Jill or similar?

I don't see a signature at all

This is going to be a rough night for a lot of people. Storms 35 miles from us are now tornado warned

Really hoping the rain and thunder out ahead of this line sap some of its juice. Arkansas just had a horrific tornado on the ground for a while.

Do you not have a cell phone in the home?

Yes and I do get SMS weather alerts but minimal cellular signal strength. I get my Wi-Fi via Hughesnet which goes down with the rain as does my Dish.

Then it's no real time radar.
