It was a good one, though I was half asleep.  Could have used a little more rain than what I got but the thunder was nice and loud. :thumbsup:

Storm was nice today here in Allegan.  Nothing grand but much better than nothing :)

Very dark shelf cloud.  Could be some strong gusts.  

Winds and heavy rain were the best part in Allegan; lightning was so so.

 

edit.  Looks strong at GRR.

The power flickered.  Gusts around 50 here.  The lightning is IC dominant though.  Soft rumbling.

Wasn’t Dawson Springs just impacted by a tornado in 2021?

This went a bit north of them, but there's a huge debris ball on radar now so it hit something. Looking on Google Maps, that area is somewhat rural but not completely uninhabited.

Got 0.60" from the first round this afternoon.

Get ready for at least an additional inch of rain from the 2nd round as it slowly passes through.

Today is now the 5th Anniversary of the 2019 Memorial Day tornado outbreak.
