I live in Ohio, and I thought that this day was going to be like that of the Veterans Day Weekend Outbreak in 2002 given that these tornadoes were touching down this far north so late in the year. Thankfully by the time the storms made it to the Cleveland area it was more or less a wind and rain event. Thoughts and prayers to those in the Midwest who were effected by these storms!

Not to take away from this picture but....

Before us, before homes, before Satellites, before social media, before storm chasers, before digital cameras .... this has always happened before. We're just in the way now. and on the other hand, because of all that I just mentioned we have the capability to protect people now then ever before.

Unfortunately the link does not work TJ

The fatality occurred outside of Washington when a 51 yr. old man who went outside to his garage where he stored his boat to make sure the door was secure was swept away and was found nearby in a tree.

Those are great pictures, thanks for sharing those. The forecast for the next two days is rain, making cleanup even more miserable.
