>>799289well, I've been trying to update as the predictions change and warn people; with what they're forecasting, the people in the red region could see tornadoes, winds of 70mph+, and baseball size hail
the storms are supposed to form very quickly this afternoon and tonight, joining into squall lines
if there's damage, I'll be sure to share....although I'm not confident there will still be power
the actual great lakes themselves can cause some strange weather stuff (like lake effect snow, which I believe doesn't occur anywhere else), but more often than not, I think it helps to diffuse storms a bit since it looses the heat when coming over the water....although with this system it seems that the amount of moisture in the air is going to play a large role....
this region is not particularly known for these strong of storms like they get down in tornado alley, however, while not as "dire", it's still worth watching carefully....because of the differences in topography, sometimes one county will get a ton of damage and others will come through with practically nothing
>>799295haven't minded not mowing the grass every few days, but it's been unbearable to go outside
