So, for those in the Midwest who got blown away last night, are you OK?
A line of storms came through KS, MO, AR, and is now moving east. The storm brought tornadoes and major straight line winds(70 mph). Power went down for thousands, and there is some major damage in the area. Hope that if you were in the line of these storms that you rode them out without damage.

Amazing, a twenty degree drop in and hour, from the low sixties to the low forties. I lost power around seven thirty last night, and didn't get it back until the wee hours of the morning. I was fortunate, folks to the north and south of me had tornadoes running through, all I had was hail and heavy winds.

This storm system has now moved into the Ohio Valley region, so if you are in its path, take care. I don't know if it's lost power, but if it hasn't, then it is a dangerous system. Stay low and good luck.

Tornadoes in February, welcome to global climate change.
