I'm camped at Tomah wis for the night and can sleep late tmw .
Got beer and provisions so let er rip.

 

Whole fleet of utility trucks here in Kewaunee WI. Hit worse about 20 miles north of me sunday night, should be a little south of me tonight.

 

Looks like Tomah is just outside of the red zone but I dollied my trailer down just in case .

 

Always coming up with new names.
What's wrong with:
Not bad
Sorta bad, but no big deal
Kinda bad, check your tarp.
Pretty bad. But should be awesome on the back porch.
Just bad. Take yo ### inside.
Really bad. Plan to be without electricity or satellite for a while.
Get yo ### in the basement.

No basement?
Man, that's rough.
Good luck.

Simplied. Direct. Meaningful.

I should be in charge

 

Lmao yep ....or kiss yo arse goodbye.

 

One year tornado warning and it passed about 1/4 mile from my house. Went out into Lake Michigan, first time i've seen a waterspout.

 

I seem to attract them lol.
1965 coon rapids mn one turned my dads house on the foundation.
1976 in Hudson wis one sucked the roof off our house .
2011 I lived in joplin mo for that one and no damage at my house but flattened everything a half mile away .
Narrowly missed several more in Kansas, Nebraska , Iowa and Illinois while on the road .

 

The one that came by the house i had no warning. Satelite TV didn't have the local channels at that time. First i knew was when i heard it. Have seen quite a few, some pretty close. Coming from Orange City IA to Hospers IA one night and there were a couple touching down. Emergency station was giving locations, kept cutting off on side roads, so dark you couldn't see anything. That was a lot of fun. LOL

 

I do have a healthy respect for them and these days it's much easier to stay abreast of the weather .
When I was a kid in Wisconsin I worked for a farmer and he knew when bad weather was on the way .
