I hope everybody is surviving/has survived that gnarly line of storms unscathed! [View all]

The tornado sirens went off for a good half here in Lansing. There was a lot of wind, some wicked lightning and thunder, and my WiFi went out for about 10 minutes, but that's it around my place. The biggest casualties were my cats' nerves when my weather radio went off, and the scratch on my leg when Rosie, who was sitting on my lap, launched herself to run under the table.

I feel bad for the folks up north with the ice storm followed by severe thunderstorm winds. There's gonna be a lot of tree and powerline damage, I'm afraid.

Springtime in Michigan.
