Checking in from those worse storms south of you ....
We had a major squall line with severe thunderstorm super cells roar through today around 4:00. The super cells contained rotating air, and numerous tornadoes were spawned, not to mention straight line winds over 70 mph. Schools were put on lock down, and roads were deserted.
I was at work - when the storm hit, it turned pitch dark, then rained so heavily you couldn't see out of a window -- and the rain was swirling in a circular motion. We were quite apprehensive about this rotation.
Fortunately it roared by, leaving minor flooding and lots of downed trees & branches. Fortunately our power stayed on.
Whew!
