This is the weather thread, it's been pretty obvious for a decade or so that nothing is off limits
I never understood why anyone gets excited about tornadoes, or severe storms? All I can think of is all the pain and suffering some are feeling because they lost their house, or even someone they loved possibly. I hate tornadoes and severe storms myself.
I think for most who are its simply an awe of nature thing.
I don’t think anyone wishes harm. I love tornadoes as long as they stay out in stray fields.
I don’t like tornadoes but I do love me some thunder and lightning.
Smoke or not, you have a fantastic view and I’m extremely jealous…. Where are you located?

Upper-level low pressure center very close by, so lots of upward motion (and that spiraling movement you're seeing on radar), there's a deep layer of moisture in the atmosphere, and the steering winds are pretty weak, so cells aren't going to move much.

I had another .7 in my gauge this morning, all told that is right at 3 inches of rain over the past 3 to 4 days. We can use more, but at least the yard is greening up a little.
