Tonight we had quite the storm blow thru. It started last night with a downpour at 2:00 am and then 25 mph winds out of the south until 7:00 pm when the storm hit. We had a wall cloud over us for about an hour. It was amazing to watch the wisps of cloud form as the hot Kansas air blew in and up into the storm.
The worst of the storm passed north of us. It got dark enough that the street lights all turned on. There were reports of a tornado in central Lincoln, as well as 56th and Pine Lake (Campbell's Nursurey), just 3 miles away. The "Come out and look" sirens went off for a couple of hours. We all stayed out until it got too scary looking and it was raining too hard to see anything. Salt Creek will be over 14th Street again tomorrow morning. 14th street was closed for a couple of days last week after Steve's storm dumped up to 5 inches of rain south of here.
It's now quarter 'til 10 and most of the storm has passed south of us. The radar shows a whole bunch of stuff yet to come, so it will be a restless night. The boys are sleeping in the basement.
