Just drove home in a tornado warning.

Drove through standing water. Phone telling us to seek shelter immediately.
Almost blocked on numerous routes by floods and downed trees. Lots of trees down on our road and property Basement has water. Never happened before. Currently no electricity. Corn fields flattened. 😱😧😮 l’m a little freaked.

We might be getting some bad weather tonight, in Michigan. It looks like it might break up before it hits Flint but one thing I've learned, this summer - don't put a whole lot of stock in the forecast. Sunday night, the forecast said we had around a 20% chance of rain, and we got pounded by heavy storms.

Right ow we are at a 40% chance. I'll keep my flashlight handy.
