They just downgraded us from a tornado warning to a severe thunderstorm watch, but they said to stay on our toes, because this could all fire up, again.

I had just finished moving a bunch of stuff to the basement, with me about to follow, when they canceled the warning. But I hear thunder, now.

Way too early for this kind of weather!!

Things have calmed down, a bit, but I won't be breathing easy until this weather front is well past my house!

There are some big power outages to the west. Tomorrow is probably going to be full of shocking images.

Honestly, I NEVER remember weather like this, in MARCH!?!?!?!?

Still some heavy rains to the east of us, but nothing rotating.

I think MAYBE I can move stuff back up from the basement.
