Just in time for the election. Tornado Watch.
We have a strong line of potentially damaging storms getting ready to move through. A couple of years ago we had a strong line do so much damage that we were out of power for days. What would happen with our elections tomorrow if we have widespread power outage?

I don't even think that Dallas has backup paper ballots -- it would get pretty ugly.

4. Memphis area
It's a long line, though, goes all the way up past St. Louis, who is seeing the bad weather now. The watch extends down through Mississippi.

5. Bummer.
Here's hoping it keeps the red state fraidy-cat Repugs away from the polls.
