Around 10:45 this morning, every device in my house was screeching with a NWS tornado warning. Considering it was almost noon and getting very, very dark out, I ushered the dogs down to the basement and grabbed my laptop (I work from home).

My area was pretty lucky and didn’t get much damage (power was flashing like a strobe light but ultimately stayed on).

This all went down like 90 minutes ago, so I’ve only got some preliminary photos from local news and ones my friends sent.

And, yay, another strong storm forecast to come through around 3:30.
