I’ve got a partial view of the southwest quadrant of the bunker, and I’ve got the laptop. This one’s going to be close!
R&E (3:14 pm 6/6/2008) – Was oddly calm, but now there’s a bit of a breeze again and it’s starting to rain. No real oddity though.
R&E part 2 (3:18 pm 6/6/2008) – Moved to the widest-view southwest window. Raining pretty good, and now the NWS says it’s passing south and now radar-indicated.
R&E part 3 (3:29 pm 6/6/2008) – If I weren’t listening to Ed Morrissey, I’d be chasing. There was a funnel cloud at Hwy K and I-94 15 minutes ago, which is sufficiently south of the bunker. It’s now raining pretty good, and there’s a bit of thunder. Nothing unusual in my little corner of the world though.
You shoulda set up a live blog :)
I’m told by my S/O that the sirens were even going off up in Brown Deer for this one…..
Can never please everybody :-)
It was semi-live. After all, I was listening to the Ed Morrissey Show and working the laptop on +5 second cat alert for a launch into the basement (or the air, whichever came first).
If I understand the siren system right, they have to trigger it county-wide.
And now the sun is trying to come out again even as more storms are working through Racine and Kenosha.
