I mentioned the other day that we have a very active storm system moving in early Saturday morning bringing possible hail, tornados, high winds, and heavy rain. With our new and update weather forecast, it doesn't look any better. I woke up to rain this morning. We were not supposed to get rain today. The forecast had us at 20% the other day and now we are at 60%. Wednesday the wind was whipping up and very strong for a day that was supposed to be nice and sunny. Well we did get sunshine but the wind was horrible. I wondered if the system was coming through faster than expected but it brought no rain and Thursday the wind had been reduced to a pleasant breeze like wind. Here is how the next few days are supposed to play out with rain: Friday Night: 90% Saturday: 100% Sunday: 10% Monday: 80% Tuesday: 90% Wednesday: 40% We have a lot of wet stuff on the way and the weather may effect the BCS National Championship Game in New Orleans, LA. The city is already below sea level and it doesn't take much for flooding there. I'm off to go back outside and pick up some things that may go flying off. They said expect up to 80MPH winds on Saturday. I hope everyone stays safe in the path of this storm. Are you going to be affected by this weather system? Photo: Pixabay, public domain

This front is hitting most of the US! It appears to go north after us all the way to New England states.

Me too! I'm exhausted tonight. I tried to pick up as much as I could today. Gave chickens extra food. Fixed a coffee cake in case we have no electricity in the morning. Washed 3 loads of laundry. Fixed a big dinner in prep for no electricity tomorrow. I over did it for sure. My hip is really sending me signals tonight.

@JudyEv I was up until 4 am! I think it was a combination of hurting and worry. The storm wasn't too bad in my area. We did lose power around 5 am and it came back on at 11:30 am.

@kareng I guess you get used to these alarms and know what you can do to prepare. I hope your hip doesn't give you too much trouble.

It's windy here but wind is normal for this region. I wish it would rain a little but that's not likely to happen

The rain has all passed us by now. Or I should say for now. We have just a slight chance tomorrow, but Monday will be another stormy day.

Nope, tornados happen year round here. We had a bad one just about 1.5 miles away from my house in mid-December!

It has been warm but tonight the temperature drops back into the mid 30's. We didn't catch a lot of bad weather but did wake up in the dark! The electricity came back on right before lunch.

No big problems in my area. Lost electricity for at least 7 hours but that was all. There were 2-3 fatalities in Louisiana though. I hope it isn't too bad in your area. The weather said tornadoes in south so hopefully the rest of the country won't have to deal with that aspect.

@kareng Glad you're alright, that is not good news about Louisiana. Yea, our big hyped up storm turned out to be nothing but hype, maybe 3 inches of snow.

That's how it started out here and then constant rain. I heard hail hitting the air conditioner at one point last night.

It is so cold here right now. We had horrible wind/rain just some hours ago. Right now, the rain stops. We often have had that sort of similar strong wind here lately. My backgates got broken about 6 times because of that (cost me a bit every time I asked a handyman over to fix them.)

Aren't you getting it now? Saturday night? It moved through here pretty fast. Wasn't too bad here. I heard the wind howling a couple of times last night. Our electricity went out around 4 am or slightly after and stayed out until right before lunch. I can handle that over a tornado! Stay safe!
