Breaking news from Minnesota; what a storm this turned out to be!
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,527045,00.html

"The National Weather Service said a tornado appeared to touch down in Austin about 8 p.m., sending debris flying. The storm flipped cars on their sides and sent trees through roofs. It also flipped a semi on its side. A dispatcher in the Mower County Sheriff's Office said there was a report of a car blown into a house."



Yikes. Tornado season is upon us again! (I lived through one in Florida...VERY scary stuff!)

4. The storms go from Minnesota through Wisconsin across the lake and here to West Michigan
It was such a big storm they showed it on our local weather, but then again you know everything that's why you think your so funny.

16. The area of activity including the current warning is traveling ESE
That pocket of red will miss MI by a goodly distance. The areas of rain to the north appear to have been breaking up over the past hour. Afternoon humidity and temperatures may cause an increase in activity as the system moves across Lake Michigan, however, so it's best to keep an eye on this.

TWC predicts a 20-50% chance of rain for my area in SW MI for today and tonight, with an 80% chance of storms tomorrow.
