I just heard on the radio that Michigan is sending 400 people down to help restore power in Ohio.

Severe in the opposite direction, I suppose: it finally rained here at IU last night for the first time in almost a month. Drought here has gotten so bad that we're under total burn bans and a lot of cities are canceling their fireworks displays!

Here is some good information on food safety when it comes to severe weather (both hot and cold) so y'all can be prepared and also not get sick!

What happened?? I haven't heard anything about it.

I did just read about hail in New Boston, MI, though.

Huge storms swept from Indiana to Washington, DC Friday and left tons of people without power.

The hail storm was freaky. My kids' friends who live in Rockwood and S. Rockwood had major damage also.. to their cars, and windows in houses. As they were posting pictures of so much hail that it looked like the ground was snow covered.. ping pong sized hail, and that area got 2.1 inches of rain from one downpour, just 4 miles north, we had not a drop of rain or anything. I heard the thunder though. After the storm, I went a mile away to a Kroger and their parking lot was massive puddles. Not a drop at my house. So weird!
