Oh goody. Another severe thunderstorm warning. Should be here in less than 10 minutes

[Siwsan]

My cousin in Grand Rapids gave a shout out to batten down the hatches. I checked the Consumer's Energy outage page and it shows over 120,000 without power from west to mid Michigan.

I SERIOUSLY don't have the stamina for another prolonged outage so my fingers are crossed that I'm not out starting up the generator, in about an hour.

1. You might be getting the storm system we got here (MN) over the weekend.

It was a doozy - flash flooding at the State Fair, a few small tornadoes, really heavy rain, power outages. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2022/08/27/severe-storms-roll-through-twin-cities-cause-flooding-at-minnesota-state-fair Good luck!

3. I'm still emotionally recovering from that last storm

Hopefully this will just be a good thunderboomer and lightning display with no wind shears like we had the last time.

2. Out in the east Midwest, it's been very dry-

But it looks like real rain is on the way.
I'm going to go outside and stand in it. I feel so dried out.
We midwesterners aren't used to going weeks without rain.

4. We had quite a hot, dry spell in Michigan

That last nasty storm dumped a whole lot of rain.

Hopefully my tomato plants will survive this one. They did pretty good, last time. When the apple tree fell, it missed them by inches.

14. Those tomatoes are determined to survive!

At least till you eat them!

5. Vibes to all in the path of the storms.n/t

6. We were just downgraded from a warning to a watch

But I did have to disarm my Blink security cameras because the motion detector kept triggering.

7. Hit here NW of you.

Looks like ill have to cut the grass this week.

8. T-storms headed our way Monroe County.

Hopefully it will blow out before it gets here

9. Y'all be careful out there...

I remember those storms from Grand Haven...

Racing across the Great lake...

The skies weird shades of yellow and green and grey...

Humidity so high it ached to breathe...

The tension in the air so taut it seemed fit to burst...

And then --

The first crack of lightning and deep-throated rumble of thunder...

Finally, grandpa would say it was all right to come up from the basement...

The air outside was once again crisp and clean...

That is all...

10. Stay safe!

12. Horizontal rain. Power blinks.

[Siwsan]

13. We had a couple of strong wind gusts and heavy rain

Right now the sky is lighter and it's just a light rain. BUT I think there's still some stuff to our west. The Flint area now has quite a few outages.

I rushed and made dinner, just in case.

15. I'm in Southern NH

I'd love to see a good thunderstorm but they keep passing us by.

[Siwsan]

16. We got a heavy downfall of rain and some whirling winds but just one clap of thunder

I went out, this morning, to see if I lost any more tree limbs. Just twigs littering the yard.
