    crap.


    Have a load going to Chicago but people warned me about this and I sat in northern Ohio. I think it's still coming strong.

    It's strange I see the edge of the front and the wind looks like it's going straight north so the storm must have a big spin on it.

    It's not going to be pretty. You'd be well advised to wait it out, VIDEODROME. This thing has some killer winds, and ALOT of rotation.

    Lol. I was by my company yard in Wauseon, OH. Parked the truck and unhooked the trailer.

    Then grabbed my car and checked into a hotel.

    I had a bad time with the storms in June I'm not messing with this one.

    I just drove 15 miles in a storm that according to the news stations had possible rain wrapped tornadoes and in line winds. It was so bad I only did 30 mph, and at points could NOT see the lines on the road; water all over the place standing on the road.

    ITS NOT GOOD and only supposed to get worse

    Right now I have consistant windspeeds at 25 mph all the way from the Great Lakes down into northern Alabama. Gusts reaching anywhere from 33-59.. these conditions are supposed to last for the next 36-48 hours...

    Still here in Wauseon near Toledo watching the local weather/news.

    It's sound like the first big wave has passed but should continue to expect bad wind gusts behind. Possibly calming down at night as the air cools but I guess we'll see what happens. It'll probably still be very windy tomorrow.

    The winds are definitely wicked here in WI today. It's not going to improve much until tomorrow either.
