Gettin Closer . . .

The train of storms that has been crossing Michigan all day is steadily dropping south.  It is pretty much on the MI, IN & OH state lines, then curves a bit more south along the Lake Erie shoreline to almost PA.  My weather radio has been goin off steadily the last hr or so . . . t-storm watches, t-storm warning and flash flood warnings.  Haven't gotten a drop here yet.  The NW corner of the county is under a severe t-storm warning.  They haven't set the sirens off yet.  Maybe they are figgering out that maybe they shouldn't be used unless the immediate area is under a warning.  Earlier this summer, they seemed to set them off no matter where the warning area was. I think that is what upset so many people.  I expect I'll be hearing them before the night is over.  

I can see lightning in the clouds and I can "smell" the rain to the north.  Be great to get a decent amount tonight. 

The line is sort of curled around Bryan at the moment and is getting dropping down steadily to catch the east edge Bryan, which is where I live.  Looks like the east end of the runway at the airport is getting wet.  The airport is about 3/4 mile east of me.  Pretty cool how ya can zero in on a specific location!!

Hey this is what I do around here on Friday nights.
