Bad weather expected on Wednesday

gidgetgh — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 00:44:34 GMT

I'm in Atlanta. Our local weather people said today that we're at the highest risk for tornados tomorrow than the last several years.

They're also urging people to charge their mobile devices tonight because they said we're also at a high risk for power outages.

One of our local meteorologists was on vacation in Florida and flew back to Atlanta tonight so that he can help with weather coverage tomorrow.

I've got my phone and iPad charging and we have our tornado tote bag packed and ready to take to the basement. I'll also be packing another tote bag with my jewelry and a few other things.

Hope everyone stays safe tomorrow.

You may be getting what we had last night and today. We've had 50mph winds, stormy skies and snow all over the Northern part of the state except for here where we got nothing but wind and cold. It's been one storm after another.

I'm in western NC and our weather people, who are not prone to hype, are giving some of the strongest warnings about this storm system that I've heard since I moved here 10 years ago for WNC, GA and Upstate SC.

I'm as prepared as I can be and keeping my fingers crossed that the topography of my area will once again keep the worst of the weather away.

Be safe.

Just keep yourselves safe -everything else is replaceable. Here in Indiana we are expecting a moderate risk - but nothing like you are looking at - be safe!

@gidgetghI am in the storm's past as well in East Alabama. I'm worried after watching the weather channel. Work is cancelled for me tomorrow (which let's me know they think it will be bad!)

I am off to charge up my phone and ipad. Hope everyone stays safe!

@Kachina624

Tornadoes, rain, wind and hail for my area. And it looks like there will be several rounds of bad weather moving through at various times tomorrow.

Saying a prayer that property loss is minimal and no loss of life for all those in storm's path. Be SAFE.

Monday was bad for my area Ft. Benning and Columbus Georgia. I am 61 and this was bad for what I have ever seen. All schools closed in our area and in surrounding areas. One local mall has 50 power company trucks parked and ready- a first for our area. Our Wednesday night church service has been cancelled. Thankful we had all of our pine trees cut down. Last major tornado for our area was in like 1955. Prayers for everyone.

We're supposed to get snow in MI, up to 6 inches with strong winds. I'll take that any day over tornadoes!

Wow, praying you all stay safe, I live in central Florida and we need the rain badly. It was 80 today, tomorrow the temps are expected to hit 96, not looking forward to that at all..the water levels in the pond are down about a foot...looks like beachfront property..too early in the season for this type of heat..

@SouthernBeeI am very close to you. Hope it just passes over us and all of those power trucks won't be needed!. I went to the store and got a few things tonight because I remember when Hurricane Opal came through years ago I was without power for several days and I didn't want to be caught unprepared.

Woke up this morning to a winter wonder land here in Colorado. First time I have seen snow since I visited Mammoth in California in the 80's when I lived in Los Angeles. It was interesting to watch the snow melting off the trees and bushes and leaving none on the streets and walks. I have been told many times that the snow melts away within two days and by golly it sure does.
