Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

We just got pounded again with rain, the way things are going next weekend may be in jeopardy as well. With more bad weather on the way I hope everyone is OK.

The main storms looking nasty and has yet to hit us. Was watching some chaser streams around bloomington IL and several funnels have touched and risen. Also a report near Carmel Indiana.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled. I know several fans Saturday that had to miss Burg due to flooding in Miamitown OH.

Stay safe :)

Just finished cutting the grass. Or should I say bailing it.:) As I was cleaning the mower I heard the thunder starting and the sky in the West is rather dark.

I looked at radar and I think we are a few minutes away from some rock n roll and I don't mean on the radio.:14: A lot of yellow and red on the radar map and it is a long band right now.:18: Be safe and hope this "blows" through quickly.

This radar which starts over cincinnati can be dragged to the location your in. Refresh it often. Each box contains info about the storm. Currently there are two severe storms west of Bloomington and Indianapolis.

Stay safe, Take cover if necessary.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

It intensified right as it got to Terre Haute. They didn't issue the Severe T'Storm Warning until the winds had already kicked up and were blowing the rain hard. And it dumped a lot of rain on us, too. It ended up being a pretty vicious storm. I'm glad it's been here and gone.

West Side of Indy is getting pounded..... about over the rain.....

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Just moving into Seymour, lotsa wind, rain, and tater wagons turnovers! Coolin off tho! Bob

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Hope everyone stays safe tonight in the midwest, D. O. was predicting a rather active night for storms. Bob and Monica especially stay safe, a motorhome isn't the safest place to be with that type of storm activity whirling around.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

60-70mph winds reported just west of columbus, nashville and bloomington.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

I hope everyone is safe as well. It didn't get too bad here in Danville.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Flat out pouring here right now. Two hours ago I was cutting the grass. The front yard now is under water 1/2 way up. If I would have waited, I would have needed a pontoon.:3:

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

I just got pounded here west of Bedford again! There has been alot of rain if I had a basement it would be a pool right now!! LOL!!!!

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

You guys got the bad storms we got rain here in Oklahoma. Parts of Okc got 10 inches of rain this morning.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

A solid 45 minutes of non-stop lightning, heavy rain, and high winds here in Florence, KY. Best light show I have seen in a few years. Stay safe.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

For once we are getting off lucky in Springfield, IL. Jerry, while you were getting drowned in Lincoln on Saturday we got less than 1/2 inch. Today was pretty calm with just a trace. Looks like it really intensified when it left Illinois. Hope all of you are safe.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Kokomo cant take much more and be ready for Sunday that for sure....my backyard still has standing water, could onjly mow half the darn yard! I am over this heavy rain every day or every other day.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Rough night here where I am, looks like an all nighter.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

It is with great regret to inform all that Big Butter Jesus didnt survive the storm>
MONROE — The large Jesus statue iconic to Interstate 75 in Monroe is destroyed following an apparent lightning strike during a thunderstorm.

Motorists were stopped along the highway and around the Monroe area to watch the 62-foot “King of Kings” statue burn. The fire was reported just 11:15 p.m. Monday, June 15. Within minutes, all that was left was the steel frame of the statue at Solid Rock Church, 904 N. Union Road.

Church member Cassie Browning, 27 of Dayton, said she was driving north on I-75 on her way back from Tennessee when her family noticed the statue was missing. “It meant so much to so many people,” said Browning.

“It’s crazy,” said Ted Williams, 35, of Monroe, who could see the statue ablaze from a Shell gas station along Ohio 63.

After midnight, the fire had spread to the nearby amphitheater of the church, according to dispatchers. There were no reports of injuries.

The statue, which appeared to come out of the water, was known by multiple nicknames since it was built in 2004, including “Touchdown Jesus” because the arms are raised upward, similar to a motion made when a touchdown is scored in football. It also was known as “Big Butter Jesus” after comedian Heywood Banks referred to it as such and created a song about the statue, which he performed on radio’s “The Bob and Tom Show.”

It was constructed of wood and styrofoam over a steel framework that was anchored in concrete and covered with a fiberglass mat and resin exterior, according to the church. It was slated for renovations this summer.

Crews responded from Monroe, Middletown, Liberty Twp., Deerfield Twp. and Trenton, according to dispatchers.

Messages left at the church late Monday were not returned.

Thought about you guys last night Dan - hope everything is ok and that you were able to get some sleep. :29:

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

How are things in Hoosier land tonight? Just rain here in Wisconsin, no windy conditions.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Another drenching rain just passed us in central IL. Enough to rain out Macon and ruin my night. It looks like we missed the worst of it, though. Buckle up Indiana, its coming your way.

We had a lite rain around 4 p.m. the forecast calls for severe weather later on this evening. Living in Springfield for a couple of days we kinda keep an eye out for you guys. Kokomo has had a little over 5 inches of rain in the last few days, less than some and more than others but plenty in my opinion. Hope to see everyone at Gas City Wed. 6/16/2010 Sarah and I will celebrate 32 years, so far we have spent all of them at a race track somewhere.

I would also like to thank everyone on this board for not getting bent out of shape when a promoter calls a race due to the weather, they are trying hard to get the race in, sometimes you just have to step back and wait for another day.

P.S. Thank you for the heads up SpfldMile :22:

Yesterday was light, today was 1.25 inches with more possibly on the way. Tomorrow I may take out the tomatoes and plant rice.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Starting up again...

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Thunder and lightning in Redbud City as I type this. A line of strong storms again are raking the Hoosier State this evening. We certainly don't need anymore rain. However, with that being said the rain is falling.:7: It is almost upon us here in East Central Indiana so another night of worry.:( I hope this passes quickly and the effect are minimal.

We are ok except we lost a tree. :7:

Hope you can get some rest.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Fortunately we were sheltered nicely at Willie's Sports Cafe at Hidden Valley Lake. It was tough as we only had chicken wings and Amber Bock to sustain us, but we toughed it out. Looks like the worst of it has gone north of The 'Burg.

Buit seriously, with tornado warnings all around and continuous lightning in the skies, I hope all out there are safe and sound. Keep us informed. Be careful out there.

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Looks like you guys are getting some of our left over snow in the form of rain! We did get 2" here in Plymouth Wisconsin today.....rain i mean, not 2" of snow. :5:

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

Please don't say rain on iow! It makes them mad!:5::3::8::10:

Re: Weather, is everybody Ok?
 

The sun is shining and the humidity is better than yesterday, great day for being with friends at the race track.
