Good Luck, @Luvsmyfam . Storms like this are awful. Our animals get so worked up. Stay safe!

@Luvsmyfam   Sorry you experienced that...and no power is the worst. Happy you're OK.

 

We just have high heat index (NC)...temps in mid to high 90's with high humidity. Feels like pea soup!

I'm just west of you. Right now (8/13 am), we are in a tornado warning. Tons of heavy rain. The rain is going sideways because of high winds. Thunder. Blinding lightning.  One tornado has already touched down.

 

At 7am, it was already 85 degrees with 99% humidity.

While it is miserable to be without power, be glad you had no flood damage or storm damage.

Many in the path of these storms did. And more storms are possible today too!

@Luvsmyfam  I'm in IL too. We did not lose power but on Tuesday we were in Joliet when the storm hit. We had to go in the basement of the Dr office. When we finally left, there was a lot of water, trees down and some traffic lights out. 

 

When we got home some large tree branches down and one branch actually went over our garage and fence into the neighbor's yard.  The wind also ripped the bolt with my Wicker Park spheres off the house.  

 

I hope winter is mild.

My sister lives in Ind. She had no power every winter for like 3 days.

 

I bought her a Generac.   Life saver.

It's been like that in NW Ohio, too. We've had morning fog and right now it's 100% humidity, but very cool. Feels like fall for sure.

 

Yesterday it was 72, last year 91.
