Your slipping here stiller a good meteorologist would say.....

Don't take this weather lightly..... it "MIGHT" get pretty ugly as it passes through......

I have never met a meteorologist that talks about facts as definite
just in probables until the actual weather is there.:D :D

I1:)

[stiller fan]

no, for real....if you go to the national weather service website, it'll show you that i ain't lying....

st louis will be on the border of the severe weather....chicago, too far north to be affected....however, from the indiana-illinois border east to wv, and south to the gulf coast....two major area to be concerned...indiana and ohio, and the gulf coast states....

Hey stiller? What about making just one weather thread for updates... More threads make searches harder for new members looking for info... Just a thought;)

Warning issued on flooded roads following storms

Thursday, June 30, 2005
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh this afternoon issued a flash flood warning and told motorists to expect water to accumulate on roads as thunderstorms moved quickly across the region.

The storms hit Allegheny County around 3:30 p.m. and were expected to dump one to two inches of rain in less than an hour. The weather service said the heaviest rains were concentrated on Downtown Pittsburgh and that roads around Downtown would be rain-covered, especially in low-lying areas.

The flash flood warning was in effect for Allegheny County until 6:45 p.m.

Just before 4 p.m., a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Butler and Lawrence counties after a storm struck the McConnell's Mill area.

Lightning strikes were knocking out traffic lights in parts of Pittsburgh, including at Washington Place and Centre Avenue, Uptown.

The storms were expected to continue into the evening and again tomorrow, when the high temperature is predicted to be 10 degrees lower than today.

Flood warnings for Allegheny, Westmoreland, Somerset

Wednesday, July 13, 2005
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for Allegheny, Westmoreland and Somerset counties this afternoon after slow-moving thunderstorms dumped heavy rains.

At 2:35 p.m., radar indicated heavy rain in two areas of Allegheny. From Curtisville to Russellton to Broadview in the West Deer area, Bailey Run, Deer Creek, Bull Creek and Days Run are in danger of flooding. From Springdale to Plum to East Oakmont, Bodies Run, Plum Creek and Pucketa Creek were likely to flood, the weather service said. Shortly after 1 p.m., radar indicated the Loyalhanna Creek near Stahlstown in Westmoreland was getting enough rain to start flooding.

Other creeks likely to flood were Indian Creek and White Oak Run, the weather service said.

In Somerset, radar indicated at 1:30 p.m. that 2.5 to 3 inches of rain had fallen west of Casselman in one hour. Another heavy rain was detected south of Boswell.

The weather service said that was enough to cause small streams and creeks to flood.

The ice cylcles are so pretty.... my mom gets 3'-4' ones where she lives in NV.

No such thing here!

It's cooling down....it's only 97 now! The inside is now 91 (it goes up this time of day.... too much surface facing SW.

Got the boneless pork ribs out & it's time to uncover the pool.....

[stiller fan]

i thought that you were going to :slap: me after all the "cool" pics that i posted up..... :blush: ;) :banana: :lmao: :yes:

[princess]

Naw, that's not a slappable offense!

Now the house is 93.....it's 96 outside.....

In about a half hour he'll be out of the hot shop & into his A/C'd Pilot.....

Tomorrow I'll be running errands in my A/C'd Accord & goin ginto frosty cold stores!

Hey, I just heard some fences burned here (another grass fire).... I hadn't had the TV on today... looks like close to where fire #3 was..... but no roads where was. They did save the houses! Other side of town from me....

[anysia]

those big heavy snowfalls are fun ;)

[stiller fan]

yeah, especially when you drive in them....... :banana:

[stiller fan]

is ANYONE going to chat tonight??? :dunno:

[princess]

Does 100+ degree weather for several days in a row count as "severe"?

I'm melting!!!!!

Yes, I'll be in the pool later..... meanwhile.........I'm melting!!!!!

[princess]

whoa, 7 is big! :lmao:

[stiller fan]

:yes: :lmao:

definitely got your point across, i think.... :thmsup:

[princess]

another day....another 100+...they say this will go on thorugh the weekend. Then we'll cool down to the mid 90's! :) I don't really mind the temps... the computer isn't happy for a few hours in the late afternoon though. No A/C in here. It doesn't seem to want to go swimming! :lmao: Then yesterday the digital part of the cable went out... first, no sound, then it made evil squares on the HD channels, then the internet went out...also cable, also digital. The TV is still messed up today & a tech is supposed to come this afternoon. The online is back....obviously. I think it all just melted!! :naughty:

[stiller fan]

well, i got my thunderstorm fix for the week....... in between blinding downpours, i rode up to the honda dealer to take a look at some of their prices on their new accords.....

they have at least 2 used 2005 that arre under 10k miles on them...... wonder why??? :dunno:

hmmmm, princess, you would have loved to see the storms that went through here....... had about 2.5 inches of rain fall in about 1h45m........ :D :banana: :jumping: :naughty: :lmao: :nuts:

not alot of flooding from what i saw, except for a few intersections here and there.... :thmsup: :biggrin:

[princess]

A thunder storm sounds good. I'd be out sittin' in it! It's back down to 102 now..I don't know where it peaked at. It's the time for the house to heat up.... I try so hard not keep it bearable in here. I shut the drapes & glass on the sunny side. The awning is out so the back is shaded. Yet it's 93.9 in here!

I mowed the front this morning before it heated up. :thmsup:

They still claim we'll be like this through Monday.

I'm not doing anything today...it's a butt sittin' day for me. Got the SciFi channel on, but not really watching it. Had a couple of lengthy phone conversations. Played with a Cingular cell phone the kids left me. Supposedly Verizon wouldn't work where they're camping, so they signed up with Cingular. Then the Verizon worked after all. When they signed up they got 4 phones, 2 freebies & bought 2 more. I'm terribly jelous 'cuz she's got a V3razr that I wanted...but you can't get it with Verizon.

I have no idea which one they'll be using when they get home. Most of their friends & family now have Cingular. So if it works better, they'll cancell the Verizon. Well, there's a year on the contract (in my name) so we may just reduce the plan & keep them on for emergencies.

Cingular's downloads are the pits!!! I've been trying to get one song & one graphic for about 3 hours now. It keeps telling me after a while that it can't connect. I FINALLY got the song....but not the picture! Maybe it's melted!! :lmao:

[stiller fan]

the fun started early this mrng...... had thunderstorms around 7am and had to call out warnings for them........ looks to be more of the same today as yesterday.....

over the past 24 hrs, we've received 2.5 inches of rain........ downtown philly only received .57 inches.....

another fun day.... :yes: :banana: :naughty: :nuts:

[princess]

It was 102 in Concord yesterday & is supposed to do that again. It was 108 in Stockton yesterday....may ONLY be 106 today. Here, it was 103 at the water, & were normally a couple of degrees above that spot. I stopped looking at noon, it was 101.6. Inside was 97, we finally used our wall & window A/C's to sleep. They work great! I just hate the bills when they come in!

The automatic ceiling fans are already going full blast!!

Like AZ....it's a DRY heat..... :D (there used to be tshirts there with a skeleton in the dessert with "but it's a dry heat" on them for sale all over AZ) Of course, it's not always dry....117 & raining is common in July!!

delay in post...our internet was down...

[stiller fan]

was it melted??? :lmao: :naughty: ;) :joker:

[princess]

maybe.... it's on now though...it's been down every morning for the past 3 or 4. Comes back on about 9-10

[stiller fan]

things are starting to pop once again... :biggrin: :banana: :yes:

looking to go back into thunderstorms w/in the next 1-2 hours....... :D :nuts:

[princess]

have you ever flown over a big thunder storm??? It's really pretty at night! We were over one flying from FL to Chicago, late afternoon into the night....

[psyshack]

We need rain in okiehoma. Its starting to get way to dry. Only good thing about it yard is burning up slowly. :)

WOW princess turn on the a/c. If your not having to bust the humidity it should cool you down fast. A/C runs 24/7 here. Will gladly pay the bill,,, dont care what it cost! Think elect. bill is about 300 per month. Its on the ave. program for billing cycle. Dont care would pay 600 a month.

[princess]

As high as everything is out here...we hate paying for what we can't see... Our energy (PG&E) is fairly low because we're VERY careful. We save the A/C usage for those "can't stand it anymore" moments.

We add fans to the electrical stuff & do our best to not use them too much when it's this hot.

When we're too warm, we jump in the pool!

The A/c is on tonight.....it's been a long day.

[stiller fan]

had another 1.35 inches of rain yesterday afternoon..... :D

[princess]

send some to OK before it becomes a "dust bowl".....

We're cooler today....it's only 90 inside & hovering at 99 outside...the winds have picked up so we might not see that 100 today! Even if we do it won't feel quite as hot...

[stiller fan]

cool!

[stiller fan]

hey princess:

any family in SE AZ???

http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1775.html

[princess]

All in the PHX area.... WE lived in Tucson at Davis-Monthan AFB in late '75-mid '76.

AZ winds are really nasty!!! Driving on I10 you suddenly can only see brown! No hood toyour car, just brown!

Nice picture!!

[stiller fan]

thanks! :thmsup:

[billinaz]

That came through my area too. Those winds were soo strong all I could see was brown outside my windows.

Then my front yard palo verde tree with a 8 to 10 inch trunk snapped in half very close to ground level......

My Accord safely hid in the garage......

[princess]

My Accord safely hid in the garage..

Whew!!!

[psyshack]

Couldnt have been to bad or my mother would have called. She lives in PHX. now. She, my a Aunt and a buddy of mine all moved out there. Im told by all three,,, over reaction is the name of the game out there. They have all sent me video clips of there local news programs to make there case. Looks comical to me also.

Dust storms are intresting. We get one every so often. After all it is a dust bowl state :)

[princess]

Sounds like the AZ news handles weather like our local news handles quakes.... they make the smaller ones a BIG issue!

When we lived in AZ I had babies & not much time for news... I really don't remember what they said! I do remember some of the storms though. Fun stuff!

[RTexasF]

It looks like hurricane Emily is headed towards Brownsville, TX. That's where my lady & I are going to move....if we ever sell this house.

[anysia]

so maybe it's a blessing in disguise tht you haven't sold the house yet! :thmsup:

[RTexasF]

so maybe it's a blessing in disguise tht you haven't sold the house yet! :thmsup:

Hmmmm.....could very well be so. Actually Brownsville & surrounding areas will likely get some much needed rain and some stiff wind but nothing major.

Thanks for the good wishes. Well, there are a lot of homes out there for sale.....seems to be a buyer's market.

[princess]

I found out that the winds that ripped through AZ damaged my brother's neighborhood in Laveen! The house accross the street lost the roof. He lost 40' of fence & his pool was damaged.... I'm assuming some of the wrought iron fence around the pool may have slammed in & took tile with it.... :dunno: I haven't actually talked to him yet. No answer....they may not have phone lines now.

The monsoonal clouds from down south are here today! We're supposed to be in the mid 90's with THUNDER!!! :banana: Maybe even showers!

I know you all get this stuff all the time, but we don't very often & the warm storms are fun! :yes:

Florida Newlyweds Can't Escape Storms

NICEVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- It's been a stormy relationship so far for newlyweds Christopher and Barry Murphy. The Atlanta couple, both 27, drove through rains generated by Tropical Storm Cindy so they could get married in Niceville, Barry's hometown, just a day before Hurricane Dennis hit the Florida Panhandle.

They then honeymooned in Mexico only to be evacuated from a luxurious resort hotel in Cancun just before Hurricane Emily struck the Yucatan Peninsula last week. They spent about 30 hours in a makeshift shelter at a dilapidated school.

"It was gross," Barry said Tuesday. "There were about 30 people in each classroom, so we had to sleep on the floor, literally head to foot. We had one blanket and one pillow between us, and of course there wasn't any air conditioning. When it started to rain, the whole place flooded.

Christopher, a pizza shop manager, and his bride, an elementary teacher, were married July 9 just a day before Dennis made landfall about 40 miles southwest of here.

The storm's first bands began dropping rain during the reception. It had been moved to a Niceville restaurant on short notice because Eglin Air Force Base, including the officer's club where the reception had been booked, was closed due to the approaching storm.

The ceremony at First Methodist Church had been moved up eight hours because people were beginning to evacuate. The couple had expected 400 guests but wound up with 250 at the church, mostly out-of-towners as many locals already had left. About 50 guests stuck it out through the reception.

The couple then drove back to Atlanta just before Dennis hit shore and a day later boarded a plane for Mexico. The first three days of their honeymoon were indeed idyllic, but then they began to hear about another hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.

"We couldn't really get anyone at the hotel to tell us anything, so we called my mother," Barry said. "She told us that it looked like Hurricane Emily was headed straight for us."

The Murphys were unable to get a flight out, so they were evacuated to the school in an impoverished neighborhood, guarded by machine-gun toting Mexican militia. They finally flew back to Atlanta on July 19.

"Christopher jokes that if we ever have twins, we'd have to name them Dennis and Emily," Barry said. "But I have a different attitude. I don't ever want to hear those names again."

Tropical Storm Katrina Nears Florida

By JOHN PAIN

MIAMI (AP) - Tropical Storm Katrina threatened to dump more than a foot of rain on parts of water-logged Florida as it approached the state Wednesday, with forecasters expecting it to strengthen to a weak hurricane before hitting the coast.

Katrina was expected to strike Florida's east coast early Friday.

Many in the area - hit by two hurricanes last year - didn't seem too worried about the slow-moving storm whose worst threat appeared to be flooding. Hardware stores noticed a slight increase in sales, but there didn't appear to be a crush of customers looking for plywood, water and other supplies.

Only a handful of people were buying hurricane supplies at a Home Depot in Davie. When asked if he was scared about Katrina, Joel Litman said: ``Not this one. I think the next one is going to be the big one.''

A 150-mile stretch of Florida's coast including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Vero Beach was under a hurricane watch, meaning sustained winds of at least 74 mph were possible by Friday.


Katrina formed Wednesday over the Bahamas and was expected to cross Florida before heading into the Gulf of Mexico. It could dump 6-12 inches of rain in the state, with some spots getting up to 20 inches.


National Hurricane Center meteorologist Eric Blake said residents of threatened areas should consider putting up hurricane shutters, particularly in coastal and exposed areas. Storm surge flooding of 3 to 5 feet topped by battering waves is expected.


At the Century Village retirement community in West Palm Beach, roof repairs were recently completed after it was hit by hurricanes Jeanne and Frances last year.


``I don't think anybody is really terribly concerned about this one because it looks like it's going to be a tropical storm,'' said Jean Dowling, vice president of the residents' association. ``Now if it turns into a full-fledged hurricane, then you're going to see some scurrying.''


Because of Katrina, Gov. Jeb Bush canceled a business trip to Peru that was to begin Wednesday and planned to return to Florida from Virginia, where he was attending a hearing on military base realignment.


At 2 p.m. EDT, the season's 11th named storm had top sustained winds of 45 mph. It was centered about 200 miles east-southeast of Miami and was moving north-northwest at 8 mph.


The Florida Panhandle was hit by Tropical Storm Cindy and Hurricane Dennis earlier this year. Early indications were that Dennis caused about $2 billion in total damage. Last year's four hurricanes caused an estimated $46 billion in damage across the country.


In an average year, only a few tropical storms develop by this time in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The Atlantic hurricane season began June 1 and ends Nov. 30.


Wednesday was also the 13th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew's landfall in the Miami area. It was the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history.

Fla. Storm Could Bring 15 Inches of Rain



MIAMI (AP) - About 120 miles of Florida's Atlantic coast were under a tropical storm warning Tuesday as a new system formed just offshore and threatened to dump up to 15 inches of rain in parts of the state.

The tropical depression could strengthen into Tropical Storm Ophelia by Wednesday, which prompted the warning from north of Jupiter to Titusville, according to the National Hurricane Center.

It could bring tropical storm conditions of winds of at least 39 mph to the state by Wednesday morning.

``The primary concern is very heavy rains,'' hurricane specialist Richard Pasch said. Five to 10 inches were expected over the next few days, with some isolated areas possibly getting 15 inches.


At 11 a.m. EDT, the depression had top sustained winds of about 30 mph and was centered about 180 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral. It wasn't moving, but it should start heading north-northwest later Tuesday, forecasters said.


Two other storms were out in the open ocean Tuesday as the busy hurricane season continues. Tropical Storm Nate intensified south of Bermuda, while Hurricane Maria weakened on its way to the colder waters of the north Atlantic.


Nate, the 14th named storm of the season, was centered about 275 miles south-southwest of Bermuda with top sustained winds near 60 mph. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said it could reach hurricane strength, with winds of at least 74 mph, by Wednesday.


It wasn't moving, though it was expected to eventually make a turn to the northeast, forecasters said.


``Perhaps by the end of the work week it could be posing a threat to Bermuda, but not the U.S.,'' hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart said.


Maria peaked late Monday as a Category 3 hurricane with top wind speed at 115 mph. By 11 a.m. EDT, it was centered about 545 miles east-northeast of Bermuda with winds near 100 mph, forecasters said.


The hurricane was only a threat to shipping interests as it moved north-northeast near 7 mph, forecasters said.


Maria is the fifth hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season. The season began June 1 and ends Nov. 30. Peak storm activity typically occurs from the end of August through mid-September.


Florida has been hit by six hurricanes since August 2004, including Katrina, blamed for 11 deaths in the state.

could be a minimal hurricane by the time that it hits.... :(Probably the most incorrect storm prediction of the last decade! (Unfortunately)

[stiller fan]

that was when it hit florida, which would be true..... however, noone expected it to become a deadly cat 5 over the course of 12 hours time.....

[stiller fan]

THE NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURE IS IN THE UPPER 50S. WE`LL BE 10 TO 15
DEGREES ABOVE THAT TODAY CWA-WIDE. IT ALWAYS SEEMS THAT WHEN WE RUN
THAT FAR ABOVE NORMAL AND A COLD FRONT IS BEARING DOWN ON US,
PROBLEMS ARISE. THIS TIME IS NO DIFFERENT WITH THE SPC PUTTING OUR
REGION IN SLIGHT RISK.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED THOUGH FROM 24 HOURS AGO WHEN THE SEVERE THREAT
LOOKED EVEN MORE OMINOUS. ALL THE INSTABILITY, FORCING, MOISTURE
PARAMETERS HAVE REMAINED QUITE SIMILAR. THE DIFFERENCE IS THE
TIMING. BOTH THE NAM AND THE GFS HAS SLOWED THE ONSET OF
PRECIPITATION. FOR THOSE WHO DON`T WANT STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS THIS IS A GOOD THING, ESPECIALLY FOR NEW JERSIANS AND
DELMARVACANS.

THE BEST THREAT TODAY RESIDES ACROSS OUR WESTERN ZONES. BUT BECAUSE
THE EXPECTED COLD FRONT HAS SLOWED A BIT, THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ARRIVING EAST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR AT OR
AFTER DARK. WITH DIMINISHING INSTABILITY AT THIS TIME AND WITH A
SURFACE INVERSION EXPECTED TO FORM, SEVERE-TYPE WINDS BEING CARRIED
DOWN TO THE SURFACE SHOULD DECELERATE.

IT WILL BE ON THE BREEZY SIDE(SYNOPTICALLY) TODAY WITH WINDS
REACHING 25 MPH. WE WILL NOT ISSUE AN NPW FOR THIS HYBRID CASE.
THERE IS ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO GENERATE LIGHTNING. JUST LOOK AT THE
OHIO VALLEY! WE`LL TREAT THE EVENT LIKE A WARM SEASON ONE AND ISSUE
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS IF NEED BE.

------------------------------

for some reason, and i don't know why, but i'm having bad vibes about this system moving through today...... i can't put my finger on it, but i have a sense that it's going to get really bad around philly for some reason, and they're not picking up on it. maybe i'm just worrying too much, and should be just enjoying the spring-like thunderstorms... :dunno: :paranoid: :( :confused:

[KJW73]

Yep - the severe weather will eventually make it's way to Harrisburg later this afternoon. I am AMAZED at the temps the past few days; it's been great! Although, I've been told that we are in for one hell of a winter; something that we on the eastern side of PA haven't had in a while. But, I'm ready!! :yes:

I'm a weirdo, though..........
I love watching thunderstorms and severe weather (granted that I'm in the house or in the sun room). The best I've seen here was about 2-3 years ago when an unfortunate tornado touched down about 20 miles from where I live. While it was forming (I'd assume) above us moving eastward...it was the most beautiful, yet frightening sky I've ever seen. The clouds were black, pink, and violently swirling.................Beautiful, but scary. :nuts:

[stiller fan]

hmmmmm.... :naughty: ;)

:cool:

love the weather, whether it be a nice, warm dry in the summer, or snowing 3 inches an hour during the winter..... (and yes, i would be driving around in it on purpose; this year, when pittsburgh got slammed with a foot of snow during the next to last wknd in january, i was home, my mom wasn't planning to going anywhere, so i ran all of her errands for her.... :nuts: :naughty: :lmao: :screwy: then, after that, i drove 2 hours to pick up my buddy in downtown pittsburgh (only 45-60 round trip normally) )

only thing that i don't like??? ice..... period. :paranoid:

we had better have a real bad winter, but only after i get my snow tires put on..... this may be my last winter in the mid-atlantic for a long time..... next year, i'll be in misissippi for weather forecasting school, and after that, possibly going to san diego. :thmsup:

...the Potential Continues For Isolated Strong To Severe
Thunderstorms This Afternoon And Evening...

The Storm Prediction Center In Norman Oklahoma Has Placed Our Area
In A Slight Risk For Severe Thunderstorms This Afternoon And Evening.
An Approaching Cold Front Will Bring A Period Of Scattered Showers
And A Few Thunderstorms To The Region This Afternoon And Evening.
With Temperatures Climbing Well Above Normal, Into The Lower And
Mid 70s, Combined With Increased Southerly Winds Bringing Higher
Moisture From The South, The Atmosphere Will Be Unstable For This
Time Of Year.

Scattered Showers And Some Thunderstorms Will Move Into Western
Portions Of The Delaware Valley This Afternoon And Continue To Move
East And Off The New Jersey And Delaware Coasts This Evening. South
Winds Will Increase This Afternoon With Speeds Of 15 To 25 Mph. The
Wind Will Be Even Stronger Just Above The Surface, With Speeds
Reaching 50 Mph. It Is Possible That These Stronger Winds Could Mix
Down To The Surface In A Few Heavier Showers And Thunderstorms,
Causing Localized Downed Trees And Powerlines.

The Greatest Threat For Wind Damage Today Exists West Of The I-95
Corridor. By The Time The Showers And Thunderstorms Move East Of The
I-95 Corridor, Nightfall Will Lower Temperatures And Limit The
Amount Of Instability.

Tornado Kills 17, Injures 200 in Ind., Ky.


EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) -- A tornado ripped across southwestern Indiana and northern Kentucky early Sunday, killing at least 17 people, wrecking homes and knocking out power to thousands, state and county authorities said.

The death toll was expected to grow, they said. About 200 people had been injured.

The tornado touched down near Henderson, Ky., and jumped the Ohio River into Indiana at around 2 a.m.

At least 12 people were killed in the Eastbrook Mobile Home Park in Evansville, said Annie Groves, chief deputy coroner for Vanderburgh County. She said she expected the death toll to grow because an unknown number of people were believed still trapped in debris at the park, which has about 350 homes.

"They were in trailer homes, homes that were just torn apart by the storm, so they're just now getting in there trying to find people," Groves said. "It's just terrible."

Indiana homeland security spokeswoman Pam Bright said five other people were confirmed dead in adjoining Warrick County, east of Evansville, where the Ohio River city of Newburgh was struck.

Bright said about 100 homes were destroyed and 125 others were damaged at the mobile home park.

The tornado developed in a line of thunderstorms that rolled rapidly eastward across the Ohio Valley during the morning. The National Weather Service posted severe thunderstorm warnings for sections of northern Ohio.

The damage path through Newburgh, eight miles east of Evansville, was about three-quarters of a mile wide, and extended for roughly 20 miles, Assistant Fire Chief Chad Bennett told CNN. He said emergency sirens sounded, but most people didn't hear them because it happened in the middle of the night.

No deaths were reported in Kentucky, said Michelle King, a dispatcher with the Henderson County sheriff's office.

At the Ellis Park racetrack, between Evansville and Henderson, Ky., the Henderson County Sheriff's department said about half of the track's grandstands had been destroyed, along with horse barns and housing units.

There were conflicting reports of injuries at the track. Paul Kuerzi, the track's vice president and general manager, said several people were injured, but Larry Koerber of the Henderson County emergency management office told MSNBC there was one minor injury. Koerber said four or five horses were dead.

Mike Roeder, a spokesman for utility company Vectren, said 25,000 homes were without power, mostly in Warrick County. There also were reports of natural gas leaks.

Dear Lord...I am definitely not ready to think about shoveling, snow blowing and driving in that mess! :nuts: Especially if I end up trading my car soon (criss-crossed my fingers!)... :(

My local forecast:
Another potent frontal system will bring showers and possible thunderstorms to Pennsylvania today through tonight with the actual cold front expected to move across our region late this evening. Following the frontal passage, cooler air along with windy conditions will envelope the region. Winds could be quite gusty on Thursday with a few sprinkles possible as well. Expect a cool and quiet day for Friday with a slight warming trend for the weekend.

...great Lakes Into Oh Valley And Mid Atlantic States...
Morning Convection Is Continuing From Ny Into Srn Lower Mi And Swwd
Into The Mid South In Advance Of Aforementioned Cold Front. This
Has Spread Clouds Across Much Of The Area From The Lower Great Lakes
Into The Oh Valley...which Will Likely Inhibit Strong Diurnal
Heating Across Parts Of This Region West Of The Appalachians.
Surface Dew Points Are Expected To Be In The 55-60f Range Across
Much Of The Region...with A Narrow Axis Of Low 60s Dew Points May Be
Located Immediately Ahead Of The Advancing Cold Front. Instability
Is Expected To Be Modest At Best This Afternoon With Mlcape Values
Of 500-1000 J/kg...although Locally Greater Instability May Develop
Along/immediately Ahead Of The Cold Front Where A Narrow Zone Of
Clear Skies And Enhanced Insolation Are Located.

Winds Aloft Are Very Strong Across The Region With 12z Raobs And
Current Vwps Indicating 50 Kt Flow As Low As 500-1000 M Agl.
Vertical Shear Will Remain Very Strong With 50-60 Kt In The Lowest 6
Km Which Will Enhance Storm Organization Including Potential For
Supercells. Very Favorable Low Level Shear And Clockwise Turning
Low Level Hodographs Will Also Be Supportive Of A Few Tornadoes...
Especially For Any Discrete Supercells That May Develop.

Convective Evolution Is Expected To Be Complex This Afternoon...with
Potential For Multiple Bands Of Strong/severe Storms Moving Ewd
Across The Warm Sector In Advance Of The Cold Front. In
Addition...morning Model Guidance From Ruc/eta/and Parallel Nam-wrf
All Indicate Redevelopment Of Storms Along The Cold Front From Srn

Will Accelerate Ewd As The Front Surges Ewd Through Tonight. There
Is Potential For Widespread Damaging Winds To Occur As The Multiple
Bands Move Rapidly Ewd/newd Across The Lower Great Lakes And Oh
Valley Region...in Addition To Possible Tornadoes And Hail. Given
The Strong Dynamic Forcing And Progressive Pattern...strong/severe
