1. I should be going to bed

But I am honestly worried about y'all.

We are southern for one day.

2. The cat is sleeping like a log in the chair in

her favorite pink blanket, so it isn't dire yet, but it is a furious storm where I am. Thankfully, we are on higher ground than most in this area.

4. Good, flash floods have started

In some areas, like Birmingham.

3. It's going to be a sleepless night all over the place

as people take cat naps with one ear to the weather radio.

6. WTF! it is way too late and too far south!

This is extreme weather. Never in my lifetime or my grandparents either.
Stay safe.
And Nadine, you are a DU diamond, a treasure. I too love storms. I grew up on a ranch in southeast Colorado. Thanks for all you do to keep DU members informed.

7. But I have been told right here

that the recollections that this is not normal is hogwash and that this is not really extreme but normal.

Never mind the National Weather Service has called this extreme.

I love DU at times...

8. What you posted was a help to me in the middle of the crisis when the electricity went out...

Thank you and ignore anyone whining about the posts.
