Different kind of lineman, but the work they did to restore power is worth notice, even at 3 a.m. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8P_xT...cJCdgAo7VqN5tD Thanks, Linemen.

We were hit with a long track microburst. 10 miles long and 1-2.5 miles wide.

Severe thunderstorm last night brought havoc to Austin. I’m supposed to be without power for multiple days. Trees snapped, power lines down, going into MacGyver mode for food, I expect.

The Whole Foods store pictured was the start of the supermarket chain. It was a small business in the 900 block of Lamar. Now the huge flagship store is just a few blocks down, at 5th and Lamar.

Wow! The awesome power of unchecked wind and/or water.

Memorial Day brings back memories of Austin in 1981. We’ll be fine I think, but I remember the day of that historic flood. Some are forecast for bad weather today. Mostly north of us. It rained for days before that flood.

I have always respected Mother Nature and her boss. Got caught in a tropical depression in Hilton Head years ago. No power and since we were supposed to check out, no food. Had to spend an extra night. The complex fed us breakfast before we left the following morning.

Same here

Same here in Shelby County. My mother went through that tornado back in the 70's and was always weather aware from that point on.

Thankful we were spared here in Louisville...just wind and rain

Continued prayers for London...pictures are devastating

What a weird weather cycle so far this year. From 14 inches of snow (my house) to 14 inches of water (again my house) to wild tornado's.

If I was a betting man, I would wager we will probably go into crazy high temperatures and no rain at some point.

As the old saying goes here in Kentucky, if you don't like the weather, just stick around it will change.

The tornado that went through London was a mile wide and went 55 miles.

My grandson lives in London, thankful he was safe.
