Image captured March 9, 2011 at 10:45 a.m.

On March 9 at 1445 UTC (10:45 a.m. EST), the GOES-13 satellite captured a visible image of the massive storm system that covers about one-third of the U.S.

Satellites have been busy this week covering severe weather across the U.S. Today, the GOES-13 satellite and NASA's Aqua satellite captured an image of the huge stretch of clouds associated with a huge and soggy cold front as it continues its slow march eastward. Earlier this week, NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite captured images of severe weather that generated tornadoes over Louisiana.

1. Look! You can see my house from there!

Just under that cloud.

We have been getting hammered since yesterday, with some break in between the "bands" of thunderstoms.
More coming this afternoon.

5. We just got grazed by the edge of that thing in Saint Paul

Thank goodness. About 1" of wet heavy snow. I feel terrible for those who got the brunt of the storm.
