We are in Maryland. Guess I'm out of the loop, I'm not aware of any storm issues. I think the mid-West is experiencing storms.
I’m in New Jersey on the coast. All quiet here. Because of your post I looked at the news to see tornadoes in the south. Arkansas. Severe storm in Tennessee. Illinois.
Yes, severe weather in the US extending from Texas at a 45 degree angle to West Virginia/Ohio. Apparently Kentucky had a tornado and fatalities.
At least 50 dead across the Midwest and South. Hopefully all PM brethren are safe.
Heartbreaking. I hope everyone is safe. My prayers go out to all of those affected.
Seems most of the damage was centered in Kentucky.
It devastated the town of Mayfield and Murray isn’t too far away.
Scott Thile (SEThile Pipes & creator of Pipepedia) lives in Murray. I’ve reached out to him to see if he and his family are safe, but if someone else hears from him I would love to know if they are okay.

We just had a 14 hour blizzard that turned out to be just about 6-7 inches of snow vs. the 11 we expected and bright and sunny this morning and wind is way down. Looks beautiful and I'm on here with a cup of coffee watching the dog watch what's going on outside with a squirrel or two. Making the coffee last because I'm not in a mood to fire up the snowblower, lol, but has to be done pretty soon. So normal winter weather for us.
Thoughts and ???? to any affected by the horrible storms.

I just watched a thing on Kentucky. Is @Chasing Embers ok?
He's been posting so I think so.
We're getting 60mph+ wind gusts all day today in Ohio, 15-20 ft waves on Lake Erie. It's currently over 60 degrees right now, but will drop to below freezing at noon. It's a wild day all over.
I guess there was a four state tornado, and another which destroyed Mayfield Kentucky. Another tornado hit an Amazon facility, collapsing it's roof and trapping a few hundred people. The reports are still coming in. From what I've seen, the Mayfield tornado is an EF5, the first one in over five years. Entire homes are gone, just a slab left.

Yep, the worst here has passed.
Reports are still coming in but the death took is rising from estimates of 50 to over 150. Tornados in December does not happen. Until now.
We're getting 60-70 mph winds here in my part of NE Ohio. Hadn't got too bad yet, minor flooding, but over by Toledo the wind has knocked out power to most of the area.
What county are you in? I'm in Portage and it's just been breezy so far, but torrential rain. I just had to drive through 4 inches of running flood water to get home.
I live on the far western edge of Medina County. Right where Lorain, Medina, and Ashland counties meet up.
The rain last night and this morning was horrible. The wind is so bad right now it's shaking our house.
I guess it just hasn't arrived here, yet. I'm waiting...
My fear is that we're heading into a new normal. Severe weather events will be getting worse and more frequent.
