Take shelter in a closer in the middle of your house, or get in a bathtub and put a blanket over you.

I'm not sure I'd take this kids advice.

Any neighbors with underground shelters??

Whole neighborhood on either crawl spaces or slabs. Confirmed touchdown 10 miles east and 6 miles south heading to the NE.

The cell is past us now, all clear for this part of the county

Actually a spotter and ham so been relaying reports to the weather net.

I'm a bit North of you in Mt Zion, it got a little hairy for a bit here too.  Hail and that spooky greenish sky that precedes the really nasty stuff.

No, I didn't feel like unpacking the camera equipment.  I did a wedding on Saturday and my gear is still stowed in cases.

I used to take lightning pictures a lot.  If I think of it later, I'll see if I can find some of them.

Got green here also, sickly green. Had the camera out but no pictures since about 75% of the sky here is blocked by trees

Boo-hoo.

Perhaps you should change your tone to 'this is what my family does' from 'do this or you'll probably die'.

Good to hear you're alright Meat!
