Just checked out the radar...storm is wider than the whole damn state of TN, and goes halfway into NC as of 3AM EDT.
 Lightning here in the triad area of NC is nuts so I looked online at a lightning tracker, and it's showing hundreds of strikes/minute for the whole system. LightningMaps.org |

Western SC here. Just had some heavy rain and tons of lightning pass through. Tornado warning not too far away. Looks like more behind it. I'm staying up in case it gets spicy here.

Unless there is tornado overload for one person to view I am not sure I have seen Ryan call a tornado before N8 snyder did. Very low budget but still has quality content, he usually finds more traffic cameras and other stuff that makes up for the lack of chase vehicles.....and maybe I just like to root for the underdog.... The streamer I have watched the most and has the most extra content like chasers, radio comms and other stuff: Ryan Hall Y'all, has a good stream and a ton of back up support usually bails out though before all the others at the end of the night though Since N8snyder has had some computer issues and not a big funded channel I have also gone recently to Max Velocity's channel, nice kid just a bit turned off by something on his channel. My guess is the adds on the screen as I when he is live streaming this could be used for better coverage. I guess though it helps him be as active as he can be but just a rub on my part. If N8 snyder had adds he probably wouldn't have as many computer issues. Max on occasion has live chase vehicles but not nearly as many as Ryan. As a note I have two TVs in my main watching space for college fooseball season so usually I am watching more than one stream at a time when I need to be more weather aware. |

It looks like my drain design is going to have to be upgraded. Earlier today and the storm a week or so ago dumped extreme amounts of water right when they started.
I have a 4” grate drain running across my garage that also has a gutter drain dumping in it. The gutter drain dumps so much water it filled up and overflowed a section of the drain and poured into the garage. The last storm filled the gutters so fast water overflowed from the top of the gutters. And this is with 6” gutters. |

A lot get raw data from college of dupage. A lot of subscription services are available. I think Radar Omega is one of the most popular. f5wx has a some good free data and a lot of paid data and is getting popular. There's also Pivotal Weather and Weather Models dot com. |

Much ado about nothing just east of Nashville. North of us, Noah is building an ark, and a nader skirted my buddy in Spring Hill, south of Nashville. Almost had one spin up to our east.
Aside from a flamboyant CG lightning strike next to my truck as I left the gym around 10pm, it was, by sheer luck, boring. Schools are closed due to a couple flooded roads. |
