Strong, potentially damaging winds to impact the Northeast today!!! 6th death has been confirmed in IL!!!

TWC said that initiation should start any time now

Prayers for all the people and the animals in the path of this tornado outbreak.

I feel so sorry for you all.

Anyone read the fb comments, these dumb fucks are being passive like its a joke and they are trumping it up. Wtf THIS IS BAD.

TWC just said it is unusually warm there in this path...some 25 degrees above average and something just doesn't feel right.

Prepare now.

One good thing maybe is that today is not a school day so the little precious ones won't be on some school bus or in some school when this all goes down. They at least will be home with their parents/family where they will be better protected.

"I feel so sorry for you all."

lol

I wonder if I should go to a friends house?
Currently I am on the top floor in a highrise in Ohio.
I have never lived in a city or an apartment highrise for that matter, I am not sure what to expect.

YOU FIND THAT FUNNY, DO YOU? YOU ARE SICK.

This is no friggin joke. We had a tornado here in June that touched down a couple hundred feet from my home, right in front of my middle daughters house, across the alley from my home. You can see it on youtube. Search for "Hammond Storms".The vid of the tornado hitting the park was taken less than a minute after it hit my neighborhood 2 blocks away.
I have already brought up the transfer cage for the ducks.
I am going to church, like usual, and will be going to my mothers after church. My brother is out of town, so it is up to me and my youngest daughter to take care of grandma.My husband is going to be on his own for a few hours, while we are away.

If your friend has a basement, you might want to pay a visit.

Today's severe weather setup is something we see once every 5 to 10 years.

The tornadic threat is high

The damaging wind threat is very high

This is terrible.

Might be a very good idea!

"YOU FIND THAT FUNNY, DO YOU? YOU ARE SICK."

Hide the livestock!

Idiot.

You're safe. You can just go back to your sock drawer until your next assignment (I pray, for the sake of your sock puppet co-workers, it's your role to be patently stupid. If not, what a chore to be in proximity to you and your moronic drek).

Well, we are getting ready for church and then grandmas. I hope to talk to you all later. :( My poor husband, who is disabled himself, will be here to hold down the fort over here. My son-in-law is at work, so my husband has no back-up. I just hope nothing goes down while we are gone. :(

thanks, yeah I'm packing now.

I wish I had preps at my friends house, I kind of want to bring my preps with me.

Stay Safe my dear friend!!!

Do it ! Bring all your important papers with you too, just in case.

TWC is showing storms going through Chicago at 2PM. When tons of football fans will be in the stadium watching the football game :/ I don't like that at all

Look like the line near Chicago broke in half... maybe other newer lines will do so and become tornadic?

If nothing else, bring your silver.

And noodles. And maybe a water purifier. And a crank radio.

No forget all that.

Wear your Wonder Woman Amazonium bracelets. You'll be good to go.

And bring your silver.

That was quick. [link to i.imgur.com]
