| I hope everyone has come through the severe tornadic storms unscathed! Man, what an adventure. It did not get here until 12:40 am, but the sirens went off at around 11:30. We were in the basement. We actually had a second warning issued for my little town before it was over - we came up and went to bed around 1:30. Whew!

| Our area had 11 tornadoes touch down - thankfully all around us. We were in the middle. It was like a giant doughnut - we were the hole. No injuries that I heard. After 1974's outbreak, I am petrified of tornadic storms! | |

| Since I've been in KS I've become more paranoid of tornadoes too, but they tend to go around us as well. I am very glad you all are okay. | |

Our town was SO lucky! There were 2 red spots coming towards us, and they BOTH missed us by inches it seemed. We had big winds and rain, but that was it.. I'm glad that was it. | |

| Wow!
That's bad!
We haven't really gotten much...
Except for the winter...
There was so much snow!
& As for the tornadoes, there were about 60mph winds and a place about 20 minutes away got hammered! | |

I'm so glad that it was nothing too serious for you, Sharra. Topper was on yesterday afternoon, but I did not see any posts. I hope she fared okay. | |

| I heard from Trish (aka Chasesmommy) again today.
She said that she was going to try to be on ASAP and when she gets on she'll explain everything.
I've missed her. | |

| All is well here. We don't get many tornadoes in Utah (The last one we did get I was about 1/8th of a mile from the strongest point it touched down at though..that was fun..lol)
I will call topper to check in with her.
The only thing they're really worried about here is potential flooding. Utah is a desert so we're not used to getting so much water and between all these storms and the snow peaks starting to melt they're sand bagging a LOT of streams. Some towns have had houses flooded with 5 foot or more of water already and it's not even warm enough to have the snow peaks melt much.
@taylor Please have trish come on the forums. I know topper was looking for her for a very long time. | |

| We had the thunderstorm with hail yesterday. It had fun 50-65 mph winds with it. Lucky for me I was driving through a canyon with already fun cross winds for it. LOL It wasn't too bad. Lasted about an hour. Hail isnt anything abnormal for us here though so it wasn't a big deal. I called topper. She said the storms came right close to them but then moved on without touching her house or the animals. So that's good. It's spring which means her animals are having babies so she's a bit busy. She will post when she can. | |

| Thankfully this round wasn't as bad as the one the other night. Our backyard is like a swimming pool - there is nowhere for the water to go quickly. The ground is absolutely saturated. The thunder kept me awake a good part of the night, but we didn't get anything too bad. Flooding is the issue today - thankfully we live in the highest point of the city and we are 12 miles from the river. I was kinda hoping we would get some hail to damage our roof a little more - then insurance would pay for it Oh well - it's good that it didn't because it would have damaged our cars too. That would not be good. I hope everyone stays safe and dry!! | |
