Weather Underground - East Coast

I see many tornado warnings and a few watches, all the way up to Maryland!

Stay safe, y'all :hug:

9. You're late to the party!
My weather radio has been going off regularly since about 10 this morning. Mine also covers nearby GA counties - severe thunderstorm warnings for most of the day, complete with downpours, high winds, close lightening with hail once today.

I will admit that when the wind was blowing earlier, with hail, and the first two huge claps of thunder my sphincter tightened a little bit, along with a 'not this shit again.' It's quietly raining here now and hopefully it will clear out sooner than later for you! :hug:

29. Well, I still hope thsat it clears out for you sooner than later!
My oldest was leaving to go to work at a local state park when a major bit of nastiness including close lightening and big thunderboomers were about. He works in basically a shack on the lake at the end of a long boat ramp. Lovely, eh?

Take care and I hope that it passes soon and weakens for wherever it goes next. :hi:

21. Yup, I live in Woodstock in Cherokee County.
I have been glued to the TV since 4 p.m. watching the weather reports. It's finally gone now. But that thunder was really scary. Fortunately, there was no lightning. I am in total fear now when severe weather is predicted, especially since April when the tornado hit Cartersville that is just a few miles up the road from Woodstock. The tornado sirens were blasting that day and freaked me out. Thankfully, the tornado skipped over Woodstock. I live in a mobile home and there is nowhere to run should one hit my area. The nearest shelter is in Kennesaw and I would never have time to get there, plus I have 3 dogs and would never leave them.

I was in Midtown when the worst hit. It was no fun getting home.

27. Send some of that rain down here. We could sure use it! You can even
send some thunder and lightning if you don't over do it.

Keep safe.
