More Severe Weather to hit Tonight.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

By Alastair Jamieson and Matthew DeLuca, NBC News

Severe weather is set to batter many parts of the United States on Wednesday, forecasters warned, including parts of the Plains torn by twisters last week.

Violent storms brought heavy rain to the Chicago area Tuesday, and large tornadoes touched Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. One person fell victim to the bizarre weather after a fatal lightning strike in Florida.

New York City and western Long Island could be hit by heavy rain and high winds on Wednesday, the Weather Channel reported.

In the Plains, a severe thunderstorm and tornado outbreak is expected stretching across a wide swath from South Dakota to central Texas. The threat of twisters was highest from south-central and southeast Nebraska to western Oklahoma.

4. Luck for all

Hope everyone hunkers down. Most probably nothing will happen but you never know.

Keep safe.

Personal note, I like the kendo picture. I have done...quite a bit in my day. 6 Dan, never bothered to go to 7. Still have my Shinai but got rid of my least piece of bogu a few years ago.

6. Very Cool about the Kendo~! 6th dan wow! means you've been

practicing at least 15 years in Kendo.

My Sensei has been doing it twenty five years and is only 4th!

There is humility in the statement of "flirting" with Kendo after attaining the rarefied level of 6th. After all, there are only 3, 8th level Dan that live outside Japan.

Very grand achievement for you Sir!
