Sirens going off all over. "Probable tornadic activity". Headed our way. First warning expires 9:15. Ack. I've got the washer and dryer pushed apart, and I'll hide there if necessary.

Late edit: the first line of storms weakened before they got to my little town, but it was pretty scary. I don't like pink lightning. There were no tornadoes from that line of storms. We lost power, power's back. There are reports of tornado touchdowns in the county, although I have not heard of any specific areas or damage.

A second storm front is moving through, and we have tornado warnings again. It seems pretty mild. I'm going to bed.

Night all.

Late, late edit: That was quite a night. I spent a lot of it on the back porch watching the sky to the west where the storm was coming in. The sky was grumbly, with the strangest thunder I ever heard. It just did not stop...it sounded like a growl. It is now morning, and cloudy, but quiet.
