Below is a map of the effected area, So pretty much from Chicago to the Gulf Coast, a significant Severe Weather/Tornado outbreak is expected. (THIS MAP WILL CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE DAY)
I will monitor the situation and bring you updates as soon as they become available, Also, watch this forum for Severe Weather alerts like this all Season long.
I had to walk home from school in the downpour this afternoon.
Then the winds picked up and I had to chase my car cover I had on my Fiero 20 feet down my street (still downpouring). I finally threw that worthless piece of crap out once I caught it wrapped around a stop sign.
Maybe Jackluver can give us some foreshadowing descriptions of the storm for us...
