Well....back home now.

Dubuque County (Iowa) and Jo Daviess County (Illinois) are both under flood warnings....the tornado watch for the general area is cancelled (purportedly).

Flooding is reported in Jackson County Iowa, Dubuque County Iowa, and Jo Daviess County Illinois.

Apparently travel is not advised in Jo Daviess County. Highway 52 (in Iowa?) is closed according to the Sherrif's Dept. (not sure which county). Dubuque Iowa is also said to be experiencing localized flooding.

The weather guy just said that some folks have had to be rescued from vehicles.

Council Hills and several other towns received over 5 inches of rain. Stockton Illinois, 5 inches....along with several other towns.

Not good...

Thanks for the well wishes to all applicable folks. Made it to our "safe spot" for bad weather about 7 minutes ahead of the winds kicking up. I stood outside and smoked while the family was in the "ready to go to basement" spot. My wife poked her head out....and for the first time in her life got to feel the "winds fighting". First really warm gust, followed by cold....sequence repeated several times.
So she learned something new today.

Again, thanks. And I hope like hell this thing just fades out before it has a chance to imperil anybody regardless of the nature of the threat.

Never forget mother natures power. This one is for you, ma nature.:beer2:

Update: Though the threat of any tornado seems to be over...apparently the threat of localized flooding is not. Just opened my door to smile at the sky...instead I'm gawking at the little grass strip that seperates the two apartment buildings. Lets put it like this....I could set a 1/2 pound bluegill to swim in it for a bit. Sheesh. We needed the rain...but I was sort of hoping it would be a bit more steady than what it is at the moment....

Original Message Looks like some shitty weather for the night....

Tornado warning for Stephenson county Illinois at the moment, already passed through Jo Daviess county in Illinois.

Looks like she may be creeping up behind the main cell as of the last visual on the radar...

Several warnings and/or watches are currently in effect for the KWQC viewing area (NE Iowa and NW Illinois)

Just a heads up that way everybody knows to keep an eye on it.

Edit: Hold the fuck up....now the Tornado warning for Stephenson County Illinois is gone....I've got one back around Jackson County Iowa....either heading towards Jo Daviess County....or Carroll County Illinois (which I am currently in).

If I dip out suddenly....it's cause we either lost power...or grabbed the family and got to a safer location than our current dwelling.
