I got to the airport in Orlando and the flight I was connecting on in Dallas was cancelled because the plane was damaged by hail, staying another night here, looks like some major tornado activity across the whole midwest, be safe folks.

My parents are supposed to fly out of Milwaukee tonight and they're looking at a 2+ hour delay and the probability of staying the night in Detroit.

I'm going storm chasing with my son in about an hour. Indiana has a good chance for tornado activity.

We ended up west of Winimac, IN about 80 miles from home. We parked on a back road with a field on both sides of us and watched the lightning and wind show for about an hour. Saw 2 deers, hit one rabbit, and nearly missed a cat during the adventure. On our way home, we saw the beginnings of a funnel cloud in the lightning. It was about midnight, so too dark to get good footage. Interesting night.

Over the weekend, there was a few tornadoes in our neck of the woods, and one that did some damage in MPLS. We were safe, thankfully, but I feel for those that lost a lot of their belongings, as well as those that lost their lives.

Heard a story on the radio yesterday morning about a Dominos (I believe) manager that pushed 15 people into the freezer and held the door shut to same them. Unfortunately, he did not survive. That's a hero.
