Subject: Well the power is still out. Called the automated reporting center....
In reply to: Lij 's message, "Up to 40,000 lightning strikes in one 30 minute period." on Tuesday, April 19, 11:17:09pm

Found a flashlight.

Cannot see any trees down in the backyard.

It's still raining and lightning.

This is what the radar looked like before it hit. Mean looking isn't it? I'm just north of the left-hand upright of the first 'n' in Vincennes. The red zones are tornado warnings for tornadoes on the ground or spotted on radar.



This is what it looked like after it blew through. Not quite so mean looking... But it still had tornado warnings off to my southeast, so I guess the worst that was closest stayed south. I turned off the computer when I signed off because I didn't want it hit by lightning.



It is still raining and lightning, but not as much lightning as before (though it seems to be more intense).

I can do without power, I guess, I'm not opening the frig. Not sure what will happen with the TV. I was trying to get the weather radar for channel 10 out of Terre Haute (north of me) when the power went out but evidently channel 10 got knocked off the air. 65% left on my computer battery.... better go.

Odd the captcha phrase was rOevv.... and Evv (for Evansville) was in the filenames for the pics above... Hmmmm.....

Yep, there was a good lightning bolt!

Never been through a tornado watch...all the years I was on the prairies, I recall a few really intense thunderstorms but nothing like what you are seeing. Saw the pics last night from the storms down in the Carolinas, really horrible devastation.

Hope you get power soon, the crews will be out checking lines I am sure!
