Battening down the hatches
Quite a post a couple hours previous. I’m now moving into the basement for the night. Hopefully, I will maintain no physical touch with any tornadoes. Tonight is a long night for those in Central Illinois. Warning after warning. It’s been a while since I’ve been in such an active night. If you’re browsing on the night this is posted, check out the radar for my region. I can see the lightning frequently flash. I can’t find my headlamp, and excuse me as I move downstairs.
Heh, a pause while I continue to move my bedding downstairs, to type on my computer still upstairs. Cardinal’s baseball and severe storms. “For those of you tuning in upset that the storm is once again interrupting your baseball”… such memories… so many storms…
And an eventful night nation-wide, not just in the central states, as Obama claims the democratic nomination?
Back to moving downstairs…
Down here, now, camped next to the “Tornado Closet,” and I’m going to post this before a power outage occurs. More later.
Later… HA! Once again, my area of the county seems to be in the donut hole, though, since I can’t judge what’s going on by the look of the clouds, because it is dark outside, that’s fine with me (as I mentioned before). The cells that were so threatening, generating warning after warning a half hour ago, have weakened. Kudos to RC McBride, whose name I remember from so long ago, when I was still a kid. I associate the name “RC McBride” with Cardinal baseball and severe thunderstorms. I should add that I’m a Cubs fan, and that I associate him with Cardinal baseball solely because it always seems as if WJBC is broadcasting a Cardinals game whenever severe weather hits. Much like my mom’s grilled chicken interruptions from severe weather. And as WJBC scales down their severe weather coverage and returns to baseball, I turn off the radio and listen to the light but constant rolls of thunder outside the window.
Flash flood warnings span the width of the state of Illinois, along the storm line, from near St. Louis to Danville.
