Talk about, report, and complain about weather here. It does not matter where you live. Talk about what you got. Snow, wind, hail, storms, virga, meatballs. Give information about what city is close to you. Pics are great too.
This map can be used by anyone and moved to your area. It is customizable for you and gives a lot of information.

It looks like I should bring the lawn furniture indoors.

Yes they just cancelled school here in gc. Get to sleep in!
Three years ago one of our barns jumped the tree row and landed in our back yard. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again. A 12 x 40 barn makes a hell of a crash! [Reply]

This may be an inland tropical storm. Not Derecho. Have not heard that term used.
Dont forget to posts reports here.
They said last night that the damage will likely be nearly indistinguishable from a derecho. A derecho is an outflow boundary on a thunderstorm complex.
This is low pressure, sustained winds FED by an outflow boundary. They said we could have 80-100mph winds sustained for an hour.
This is actually setup WORSE than the August 2020 derecho for us. [Reply]
