Editor’s Note: Y’all crashed this site a few times yesterday with 50,399 page views. I’m working through various possible low/no-cost solutions to bring stability and quality during these high volume events. So, for now, we’re going to go light on the graphics and bells and whistles to help prevent another crash. read more

Flooding Concerns

Tuesday — Afternoon/Evening Severe Weather Possible

One more day of this nonsense, y’all.

Another round of severe storms is possible, thanks to another slice of energy thrown at us from the massive low pressure center spinning way off to our NW. read more

To help ease the “crash” problem (we’ll fix this issue in the future), I’ve pared this page down to essential info only.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.  Is it safe for me to drive from “x” to “y”? — Keep in mind we’re only looking at two counties. If your travel takes you elsewhere, I’m not the person to be answering that question.

As we wrote this morning — We want to balance the goal of raising awareness/encouraging preparedness with the risk of over-hyping this event. The details of what will happen remain fuzzy. There is significant potential, but answers to questions about ETAs, local impacts, and types of storm modes (tornadoes, hail, high winds, flash flooding) do not exist. This is a situation where the storms which form Sunday will impact what will happen Monday. What we see Monday will impact what happens Tuesday. read more
