NBC Action Communities

Well, the line finally came to my house. Looking outside my bedroom window brings back bad memories of 2 May.

wow wee it is raining sideways in sheets over here. i can hear a tree cracking in my back yard  every time the wind blows not good.

Really raining, lots of lightning and thunder but nothing severe in Olathe.  Certainly didn't need any more rain this week!

95th and Antioch - Nothing severe -- Not even strong wind really -- Raining about 1/2 inch in last half hour.

What is the current mesoscale discussion for? Or is it old?

PDS MY FREAKIN DONKEY! I AM UPSET!

I DON'T EVEN HEAR THUNDER!!!

Watching this roll in on the radar towards the stadiums, looks like it's loosing some punch?  More of the reds are fading into oranges?  crossing fingers for my garden.

I know many disagree with me, but I agree with what Gary said on the air about us being Very Lucky tonight. I get excited with the weather too but prefer it not hit heavily populated areas. I am glad to have the rain and a little light show, but I have no need for destruction to life and property. Thanks for the great weathercast tonight Gary and Jeremy!

Thank you for ur patience, Jeremy. Weird night, weird comments. Next thing u know people will be howling at the moon. Oops, no moon. Well u know what i mean.

************************

Storms do crazy things to people:) 

Jeremy

the storms got too far away from the Upper level low....DANG IT!! RIGHT OVER MY HOUSE!

where are u nikieies

lots of lightning now and loud thunder and it is raining very,very hard. i hope no one in on the roads and if they that they pull over.

I have a question...why are we being left in the tornado watch  even after the line passes through?  

Thanks for what all of you do. People will give you feeedback about how all of this was overhyped etc, etc. I have lived here for 27 years and have never heard the SPC or the NWS call for this kind of outbreak. WE DODGED A BULLET WE WERE LUCKY. Thanks again and it is so interesting how you all make easy for us non meteroligists to understand this stuff.

gary,
I see that you all went back to regular broadcasting. But I didnt see a forcast for the east counties. What do you see might happen for Johnson County ,mo (I live very close to whiteman afb
thank you
jamie

Just had a good booming thunderclap.  It sounded like a bunch of boom, boom, boom, boom in a row.  The power looks like it has gone out on the West side of Iowa and 6th here in Lawrence.  It's a nice change, usually it is the East side that goes out!  Got to love the power company here in Lawrence.  I have no idea how much rain we got, but it was a nice light show to watch earlier when the line moved through.

I've been sitting out on the deck of my apartment watching for the past 25 minutes.  What a perfect storm to watch!

-Brian

well Hail, I'm praying it dies out before getting near me

AND MY DOG POOPED ON THE CARPET! Listen yall...I would have taken all of the destruction for you...JUST TO SEE IT but nooo GOD TOOK IT AWAY!

I think it's about ready to hit here in Lee's Summit.  It's starting to get windy, and I have been hearing some thunder....

jeremy we were chasing tonight first was holt county we were going north state highway patrol stops all traffic so here we are stranded with this moster storm we seen one nice funnel did not touch down.then last half hour st joseph was in the south end of town tornado waring goes out we watch the funnel go north along the river heavy rain high wind.

*********************

Sounds like an exciting chase!  I'd say maybe 3-4 tornadoes occurred in the viewing area tonight.  We'll see in the next few days.

Jeremy

WOW!!!!  That lightning hit right by my house!!!!!!!

Winds are ramping up here in La Cygne.

Mark I've had enough of your comments tonight. what is this? "I get excited with the weather too but prefer it not hit heavily populated areas. I am glad to have the rain and a little light show, but I have no need for destruction to life and property" I mean come ON!

(by the way mark((fairwaymed)) is really one of my best friends so I'm  really not starting a fight)

AGAIN!!!!  It really needs to stop doing that

Lorie, if your still here, I have radar on Springfield now. You probably have the link, but here it is anyway.
http://weather.kskoellers.com/radar/stormfloater.php

Stay safe tonight!

David

Hail, ur dog was scared

Like I said yesterday, Kansas City will NOT have much of anything in the way of severe weather.  Almost this entire line of thunderstorms is not severe.  The SPC overdid the severe weather risk for the entire area.  None of what has happened has been any where close to high risk levels and not really even moderate risk for most of the area.  We will see what happens as the storms move east.

******************

I'm very happy that was not a huge severe weather outbreak.  But still there was some damage in NW MO & NE KS.  So not everyone was spared.

Jeremy

Jacob

Gosh darn it the other channel said the intensity of the storms is picking up at La Cygne.

I've been on ur site all day. I'll go check it again. thank you!!!

All power back on in Lawrence (from my view point).

-Brian

Okay...I'm so over this.  The lightning is just hitting WAY too close!!!

PDS:  Particularly disappointing storm.

****************

There were still likely tornadoes in our viewing area.  So the people that saw damage may not view it this way.  But to chasers...your assesment is true.

Jeremy

Jon, I actually trained BabyJ to poop on your carpet every time she sees you smoking a cigarette. So quit smoking and she will start to go outside to do her business.

yeah. and i'm mad! Lorie...HOLD ME!=(

so are we done with storms after this storm moves threw?

**********************

The worst of the weather is passing thru the metro right now.  Behind this there will be some rain.

Jeremy

Mark that hit where it hurts...but thanks for your donation=)

Ronnie-

Agreed, I could have used a little more wind and good thunderboomers!

-Brian

Ronnie I'm right with you.

don't think my 6'4" sporting clay shooter hubby would like that Hail.

Ronnie,

Like the new meaning of PDS.  :)

Gary Nelson or Jeremy Lezak, whoever's on right now. We've raised 45 dollars for the dog and jog run on sunday and FairwayMed there helped donate some money.

oh Lorie don't think I'm tryin to make the moves on you sheesh we're over the computer and lets face it long distance relationships don't work out and the reality is, I'm married =) lol

<<PDS MY FREAKIN DONKEY! I AM UPSET!>>

Ha Ha Ha  I think HailJonathan is a scream.  Did you really pour your beer down the drain!  

besides I'm 8'1 with Giantism what's he gonna do about that?

lol I never had a beer to begin with kelly lol;)

Satellite just went out. Glad I still have a TV with rabbit ears. And it only gets one channel. Lucky me it is 41.

whoa big lightning with thunder. that's worth gettin a beer for...but i dont' think i'll do that either.

*****************

I know everyone is having some fun...but let's keep the 'cold one' talk to a minimum with the people that are under 21 in the blog.

Jeremy

Ya'll have gone a little loopy tonight!  LOL!

I am off to bed. goodnight everyone. Jon enjoy the dog and jog on sunday. say hi to bec for me.

Does anyone know after the line moves thru how long it will rain for?

LOL, farmgirl!  That's all you need!

Hail and Lorie....STOP!  All you guys are going to do is make people mad.  Remember...this is a WEATHER BLOG!

Jacob

******************

Jacob,

We are okay...everyone is back to weather discussions.

Jeremy

g'night Mark!  Barbara...I've lost my mind!

;-)

Lol. I agree Barbara. Its already starting to flood by my house

it's that howling at the moon thing that they're all missing out on

FarmGirl Glad your okay tonight!

they just issued a severe thunderstorm warning for cass county. I am staying up until the line gets here. Still in my opinion, I think this was a bust by the NWS, and I knew it wouldnt get That bad, sense gary wasnt really getting that concerned, He was more concerned the other day than today.

Haven't looked at my backyard yet but I bet it's flooded...again

The rain is coming in sheets and wind is blowing a steady 40mph+ in Raytown at the moment.

Rain in Lee's Summit now.

I think the couple of immature posters ruin it for the rest - maybe we need the blog to be moderated.

The fact that no disaster materialized is a good development - the NOAA folks did a superb job - this was (and still is) a volatile and dangerous situation.  Folks that do not understand this lack true understanding of not only meteorology but also statistics.

Those of you that actively discussed today well done - keep it up - and do not let those with juvenile behavior affect you. I simply do not read their posts! It makes the experience much more pleasant!

Live good!

barbara, is it still pouring where you are?  kristy

Okay well Straight A jacob over there just killed it for me so I'm out for the night folks. Everyone have a wonderful evening and I'm glad nobody got hurt. Jeremy I won't mention the cold ones anymore I appologize and as usual Jeremy, you and the team did a wonderful job tonight, Love you guys. NIGHT ALL!

glad u all can sigh with relief. I'm STILL waiting for that line to hit here.

No rain yet, still 81 degrees with 65 humidity. Wind STILL gusting at 40 mph. It's been doing that all day.

I was just thinking about where it could have gone.  I just wanted to make sure it didn't lead to something where it was not right for the blog.  Not meaning to be disrespectful to anybody, just remembering what happened a about a month ago when Gary had to come in and shut the comments down because of wrong things being said on this blog.  Please think of where I'm coming from...ok?  :)

Have a nice rest of the night!

Jacob

Kristy...I don't know if I'd say "pouring" but it's still raining.  Was coming down harder earlier.

Lori...where are you again?

okay Jacob. I appologize for that comment up there. I understand where your coming from. I just try and be funny some times and I'm naturally a comedian and sometimes nobody understands it.

Heavy Rain in Lee's Summit.

Jacob,

What part of Lee's Summit are you in.  We are at 3rd Street and Independence.

No problem Hail.

Hey Barbara ~ Jasper County. Joplin, MO. Got one that's bowing now.

Jonathan...my husband gets that all of the time.  It took me years to figure out when he was joking!  

Heard that Gary's been on and that the storms are getting stronger to the south. Anybody watching Gary? How far south? My met's went home.

I am right behind Campbell Middle School on Colbern Road.

Hopefully it won't storm down at Truman lake tomorrow night-still debating on going camping or not.

Hang in there, Lori...hopefully it'll do for you what it did for us!

Blinding rain here in Lee's Summit.  My street looks like a raging river.

its like this guys...I haven't had an easy life because of certain disorders and things being short for my age most of my life and stuff like that. and it's taken me a long time to accept who I am. So now i just kind of live on the lighter side of life because of all the crap i've been through in the past ya know? so I just try and make the best of what I have I guess is all. I don't mean to offend anybody or be disrespectful or "break the rules" I just like to have fun when I can.

did the tornado watch get extended until 5:00 am for Linn, miami + johnson?? If so, why?

Lorie I just checked the radar down there the ones down that far south look pretty weak but I'll check again though.

Ours as well Jacob.  Just absolutely crazy with the rain.  Enough is Enough!

Be safe down there in SW MO Lorie...

Starting to have thunder and lightening again west of ottawa... grrrrr

They are kind of broken up and pulsating down near you lorie I wouldn't worry too much about them, just pay attention to warnings if there are any and things like that.

So does mine jacob I am a little west of legacy park.  kristy

Gary, Jeremy...Great Job tonight.  We all appreciate your efforts.  Gary, sorry that you had to work on your night off...

no current warnings near joplin except north but those are moving away from  you Lorie

waiting in sedalia...............................................................................

Lorie,
At the moment, it looks like it will just be good old fashioned thunderstorms for you. You know, gust winds, thunder, and heavy rain. But thats about it for now. Those storms hardly even show indications of hail right now. Of course, they have time to strengthen, but that doesn't seem to be the trend right now.

David

Kristy, we were at Legacy Park tonight....man everytime those boys would slide at home...mouth full of dust...as the wind was pretty much straight out of the south blowing toward the Home Bench...

S_Culp31...No kidding!

And Hail...I completely understand.  I'm sorry to here about what you have to go through.  What you are doing is probably the most health way to handle it.  I'm also sorry for "jumping" on you for certain things before.  Just remember to keep things weather related here on the blog.  :) :)

Jacob

Yes sirreee Jacob =)

Gary and Jeremy,

Wonderful job on covering the weather!  As always...THANK YOU!

Jacob

Those fields dry out so fast I can't believe it was so dusty after almost 3in. on tues.  But that wind was so strong.  wow, big thunder scared me to death.  kristy

I'm gonna step outside for a moment. be right back.

Yeah TV signal is back. Gusts have gone, now just some ol'fashioned thunder storms. Little bit of lightening and rain. Chimney is still up.... can't see old barn roof, but I think it is still hanging on. :)

Thanks to Gary and the entire weather team for letting us all know what to expect out of this storm. I really appreciate knowing wind speeds too. Helps me plan on how to take care of the parakeets... yep they moved to the basement with me along with the rat terrier. Everyone has gone to bed now, so I guess I will too.

New tornado warnings - Johnson, MO and Henry, MO

Thanks Hail and David. I'm pretty calm.

ah tornado warning here. I am going to watch it.

Gary is on the Air.

Hail and David ~ Simply said to tell u thanks from her too

So I know we are still in the middle of these current storms, but for the weather team, any thoughts at all on when this constant rain and storm threat will end?  It seems like ever since the winter weather ended, we've been having rain or storms at least every few days.  

And I thought this weekend was going to be dry the whole time, but I've seen/read a few times that now its going to rain on Sunday.  WHEN WILL IT ALL END!!!!!!

How does this fit into the LRC and what can that tell us about the not so distant future?  During the winter storms several of us feared what the spring would look like...and it looks like our fears were justified!

TORNADO WARNING for Henrey and Johnson county in Missouri! just though yall shood kno...

and GREAT JOB EVERYONE! but the eastern portions of the area are not done yet...

THX NBCaction news for a job well done!

Just checked my gauge and it's at 1.5" for today.  This WEEK I've had 5.9" of rain.  Good grief.

Jefferson County KS is now coming out of it.  Satellite tv and internet are noe back online, 1.89 inch of rain, peak wind gut of 64.8mph

I love the NBC action weather team they are awesome I dont watch anyone else when they are on.

I guess I've put my total in too soon...raining again.

LOL gary has to answer the phone while on the air. He's such a good guy too bad this is his day off.

Ok, well I'm going to bed everybody.  Have a great and safe night.

Again, great job Gary and Jeremy!

Jacob

Whew! Glad that was not as bad as May 2!  We spent an hour protecting our airplanes before the storm moved in.  The May 2 bow moved one of our planes 4 feet, so we were not taking any chances.  All planes still in the same spot!

We did have a plane divert to STL, as he couldn't get in before the line.  I think they'll get stuck there until it passes thru STL, that line goes from MN all the way to Mexico!  No where to dance around it!  

I hope evrybody was safe today!

TW

Kristi should come in here now. all the bad people are gone tell her it's safe to blog now =)

I live southwest of Kingsville and we just had a pretty good wind go thru here. No hail or anything. I am so glad I kept my weather radio on because I lost my internet and satellite signal!!!

I also meant to say I hope everybody still ahead of the line is safe as well!

Gary is off tomorrow.

Night everybody!

things change quickly down this way

night jacob

ditto lol on Gary answering the phone. Priceless.

Poor Gary...such a late night on his day off.

at 12:00 midnight, still raining, but at a slower rate.  At 72nd and Ward Parkway we have 1.6 to 1.7" of rain.  I will report again when it has more or less stopped or when I go to bed, whichever comes first.

Hey everyone. I was gone for a while but I see that HailJonathan said that Kristi should come in now. Did she leave? She is very helpful.

Anyway, could anyone tell me if we are done tonight? Also, are the storms south of here moving twords the metro area or are they moving east?

Just trying to see if I need to stay up of if I can relax and go to sleep.

Thanks.

I don't think it's even doing anything here, now, in south KC (I live in the Ruskin area)... It is thundering still, but if it's raining, then it's very, very light.

I cowered in fear over nothing, all day.... bleh.  ¬_¬

Got the weather radio...got it set up.  Rain and a little bit of wind came and went and the baby and kiddo slept right through it.  Got a little concerned at one point because I heard the train sound but then again I live VERY close to a railroad track.  Nothing really to report except for a LOT of rain here near the "Three Trails Crossing", aka the triangle.

That's okay, Nicole.  My kids are camping out in the basement because of my paranoia.  Not a bad thing, really.

  Around 3:30 this afternoon 2 miles east of Brookville, KS at Hwy 140 and S Wyman Rd there was a brief gustnado along the gust front of the same supercell that later produced a confirmed tornado in Clay County, KS and in areas of far northeastern KS and northwestern MO. Large branches and small trees torn away and uprooted.  Winds along gust front exceeded 70mph.

I'd love for Kristi to share what that software she downloaded today (that costs $14 something a month) does that's so cool.  Nice work jumping on that to help those guys. When you get time, tell us what you learned and how you liked it.  

another station is talking to a spotter who saw or heard on the radio about a rotating wall cloud about 1/4 mile northeat of Warrensburg

Definitely not going to wake hubby until sirens go off. (i hope they don't)

Gustnado? wow, never heard that one. Learn something new everyday.

Chieffan. We are DONE for the night buddy!

Be safe people. Still scary out there. Thanks Gary and team for the coverage. And bloggers too. Hang in there.

Fingers crossed for you Lorie!!!!

Thanks Hail. You don't know how much I wanted to hear that. LOL.

Thanks again

Gary,
I think you are AWESOME!!  You show how much you care about your job and your viewers by coming in to cover this on your day off!!
Thank you for all you and the team do!!  I wouldnt settle for anyone else!
becky

BellGolf be on the look out I think I heard you were waiting in sedalia it's Coming for you

I would not come back to harp on an OPINION that I made earlier if it weren't for something happening now that perfectly illustrates why I feel that way.  Apparantly I'm one of the bad eggs that ruins it for everybody because I dared to comment against the majority (I thought I managed to do so in a civil manner, but I guess it was still considered bashing because most obviously disagreed with me .)  Anyway, the implication was made in the blog before this one that Knob Knoster was less at risk than the Metro...the way it and many other predictions was/are worded, a first time reader could've read that, might have assumed that it came from official channels, and gone to bed thinking all was well...and Johnson CO. Mo. later got tornado warned.(don't know if it still is right now)  This is the last I will write on the subject, assuming it even gets posted.  I felt the need to defend my position due to the retro bashing, even though I honestly feel I that I stated my opinion without being hateful to Kristi.  (I will understand why, if this doesn't get through... I feel better for just writing it) ****************** There have been a lot of comments. But the weather team made it clear that the threat for severe weather was on the leading edge of this line. That is exactly what prompted the warning for your area and we stressed that severe weather was possible in all locations along the leading edge. Hopefully this helps to keep the weather teams thoughts clear from others. Jeremy

does anyone know if any of these tornados have been confirmed?  My in laws live in lexington in a trailor

Hey Kailyn,
It is over with. Drop it before you make it to where the comments get blocked.  We have a high respect for people in this blog so alot of people would appreciate it if you would just let it go and quit harping on it.

Looks like the threat is over for the night.  I have the weather radio on in the bedroom if anything comes up.  Goodnight.

So is the main threeat of storms at the leading edge or past it.

Bewild,
Gary's on and he's saying no tornados reported. Just that things favorable for tornados in those areas cause they can drop fast.

1.44 inches of rain at 151st and Mur-Len in Olathe.

hail its going northwest of my location. they have not sounded the sirens in sedalia. its a good 15 miles to my nw

But I'm a rookie, so I hope I paraphrased him accurately.

Man. I'm still waiting for blasted storm

Oooo, temp just dropped to 68. Please be a gentle strom.

thank you I just worry about my family.  I know everyone does about theirs. :)

lol hail!
goodnight all!!

Glad to see these storms are weakening

Bye Becky!

Night Becky!

We had 3 unconfirmed funnel clouds in Henry Co. via spotters.  Gust of about 50 mph with a few branches down.  .22" of rain so far.  Just got up from the basement.  No damages or power outages.   Jim in Clinton *************** Jim, Thanks for the report. Glad to hear nothing touched down! Jeremy

good to hear Jim!

I heard a report that power was out here in Knob Noster, we live in town and have power, and I dont see damage anywhere. ****************** Thanks for the accurate report. I don't think we ever reported that but I wouldn't be surprised if someone got bad info. Jeremy

Jeremy and Gary, aren't you guys about dead on ur feet? **************** Time to get some rest before it's time to go back to work:) Jeremy

I'd go to bed but am still waiting for the red stuff on radar to pass by me. Don't u love my technical terms.

Well I'm headed to bed. Thanks everyone for keeping everyone updated and calm. Thank you Gary and Jeremy for giving us the best coverage in KC. You all are the best!

Thanks.

Jeremy and Gary you guys did a great job tonight I'm sorry if my behavior tonight has been irratic(sp?) or inappropriate but I just want you to know I feel like I'm part of a new family and I try and defend it with honor even if I come off bad sometimes. I will be at the dog and Jog on Sunday so I hope to see you Gary there. Jeremy I don't think you will be there but that would be awesome if you were there too. I am anxious to meet both of you sometime. Great work guys. ************** I am the only one working from Friday PM thru Sunday Night. So I don't think I'll be able to make the dog 'n' jog. Hopefully I can meet many more bloggers in the months ahead though! Jeremy

there called echoes Lorie=)

That's about as technical as I get, Lorie.  I'm going to say goodnight, too.  I'll give you all a total in the morning.

went chasing today in kansas and nebraska. will talk more about it but overall lisa(my girlfriend) and i saw 4 tornadic supercells today! what a day! im tired, i will blog in great detail exactly how it all went down for us tomorrow.

Okay...so I lied.  Here's my total for 151st and Pflumm 1.7" for this storm.  6.6" for the week.  Crazy.  

Goodnight everyone!!!!!   ************** Depending on where the fronts settle over the next week we could have more heavy rain across the area. Maybe another 2-3 times in the next 7-8 days? Jeremy

look forward to hearing about it randy!

Probably a redundant question here so I apologize in advance but I just got home to computer access so...are we DONE with severe potential (other than flooding) here in the Metro area for tonight? (I'm in Belton)

Gary and Jeremy you guys did an awesome job tonight as per usual!   ******************* The severe threat for tornadoes, hail, etc. is done I think for the metro. The squall line is off to the east and with it the worst of the weather. Jeremy

auroramama-

Y-E-S!  You can go to bed with confidence!  Sleep well!  Heck, sleep outside, LOL! ****************** Sounds like if we want to keep severe weather away all you have to do is tie down the planes. At least the long track tornadoes stayed away today! We'll have to see if any tornadoes are confirmed in NW MO. This looked really bad for the Plains heading into today...but it turned out to be okay news in the end. Jeremy

Good night barbara!

My echoes are here in Joplin. 64 degrees and 94 percent humidity.

Thanks so much for answering!  I got confused because I thought as the squall line passed through counties would be "carved" out of the tornado watch bit by bit but it looks like many of them are still remaining in place, which got me wondering if there was more to come.  I already got tired and came home for the night so I hope not, lol.  

MCI I can't sleep outside, I'm a wuss about everything...if I'm not scared of thunderstorms I will be scared of bugs. ;)

Lorie,

Depending on where you are in Jopilin, if you sre just south of by a few miles, the heaviest weather has skirted around you, North ,South and East now!  The worst is probably past you by the time you read this.  They are moving quickly!  Hope you are safe!

I'm signing off everyone. Been on here since this am. My red and purple blobs (echoes) just split and went around. My local met (Heady) was right. Who knew?

LOL, aurorama!  Me too!  The bugs are more of a threat now in the metro...  Their wings are starting to dry out, LOL!

I know!  That is one little joy I can count on when it's storming...being able to step outside for a smoke without having june bugs pinging off my head.  They give me the creepy crawlies.  

It's stopped raining and off to bed at 72nd and Ward Parkway; 1.8" total.  G'night all.

aww Jeremy is not gonna be at the dog n jog=(

Yes, Jeremy!

It works every time!  When you prepare for the worst, you can never be disappointed.  I would do it all over again all things being the same.  I'll err on the side of caution every time.  Great job in the wx center today!  Though I wasn't able to watch you on tv today, I referred to this blog several times for info.  The reports given upstream are priceless.  This is a valuable tool for us at work without a tv.  Thanks to you and the whole team for all your hard work!  

auroramama-

I couldn't have phrased that any better myself!  

1.1" in SE Lee's Summit, Jeremy.  It's barely sprinkling now with a few rumbles occasionally.  On top of the 4.2" earlier this week, no watering the lawn for a while!
- Linda

1.40" here in Raytown

Laura

All,
Because of this very imformative blog I was not as worried about last nights storm as I was Tuesday's storm. Everyone pretty much kept their heads and did a good job reporting what was going on. I think that this blog is a great way to share weather related information amongest ourselves. Especially since a lot of the main bloggers seem to be very knowledgable and if you are a avid reader of this blog you will see that they are often right with the guesstimates. (yes I know that is not a real word) Thanks everyone for all that you do and keep up the good work. :-)

1.2" at 291 and N. Woodland. (Clay county MO).  Another perfect forecast especially in the hours leading up to this.  Great job!

1.53 inches at N Tullis and N 76th St.  

Lots of vivid lightning last night and strong winds. Our trees in the backyard were bent over by the strong winds.  It reminded me of a strong tropical storm.

0.5" at 123rd and Hollingsworth in KCK.

2 things -

Thanks Gary for the accurate as usual forecast.  You gave me enough peace of mind to go to bed at 10:30 and sleep like a baby last night down here in Cass County.

There are too many chit-chatty personal comments on this blog.  Small talk is fine but some people on here are using it as a chat board and it is tiresome wading through all the personal stuff to see what is going on weather wise in the metro.  I know others surely feel the same way.  

1.32" at 119th & state line. no high winds.

1" in Ozawkie (NE corner of Lake Perry).  Heavy rain blowing sideways almost for about 15-20 min, winds let up and rained pretty good for about an hour.  Lots of lightning and thunder.  No tree damage or tornado activity.  Didn't even loose power and we ALWAYS loose power.
