Strong Weather

Looks like some strong storms heading this way, seen it go across the TV that our area has a severe thunderstorm warning and Lesie county has a Tornado Watch



__________________________

A line of showers and thunderstorms will be moving through the Tri-Cities region during the late morning and early afternoon hours. Some of the thunderstorms could be on the strong side with hail and high winds. Rainfall could be heavy in thunderstorms as well. Daytime temperatures will only reach the 60s. A Wind Advisory is in effect for most areas through Sunday night, and a High Wind Watch or Warning is in effect for most areas east of the Tri-Cities and above 3000 feet (winds could gust up to 60 mph through Monday).

That line of strong storms went straight from Cincinatti south (I'm 2 hours south of there). It passed over us in the central KY close to Lexington. Headed straight for ya'll.

What a way tp phrase this?

Yeah, by this it looks as though they have decided already that this thing is for sure gonna hit.

The weather channel specifically pointed out a developing tornado near BSG just now.

I was sitting here watching TV a while ago and there was a huge howl of wind. Kind of scared me for a minute.

Looks like the bad stuff missed us. How is it down in BSG?

Fine. Just rain for a few minutes and a few strong gusts of wind.

Yea, looking at the radar it appears it moved around bsg for once.

We had some weather in Berea this morning. Just 2 minutes of torrential rainfall and the sky was blue.
