The sirens are going right now. We're under a tornado warning, storm front supposed to be here in about 30 minutes. We only hear the siren on the first Saturday of the month when they test them. We are surrounded by trees and there is not a single leaf moving out there right now.

It's always something!

Those of you in Livingston, Washtenaw, and Lenawee counties stay safe. They just mentioned Genesee county Tony and the rain just started.

Stay safe buddy.

Power just went out. Internet and laptop are battery. Talk to you later.

Running on generator, storm moved through quickly. They said it was moving between 60 and 70 mph. No damage here, just no power. Great, gas is around $4 a gallon and I have to run a gas generator.

It's always something!

Well it appears to be all gone, including power.

Gary, how is Lindsay doing? I hope the surgery was a success and she'll be free of pain.

Terrible year, you all stay safe out there. No power is not a big deal, we're all safe and no damage. Can't say the same for many of country men.

Storm hit pretty good here Hank. Lots of rain and wind. Funnel clouds in Perry. We have power, but the whole yard is flooded now. I hope you get your juice back on quickly. Nice to see a little rain here after this extremely dry Spring.

Ya! We could really use the rain, there are a few spots in my yard not under water yet.

Oh well, like I said, no tornadoes, no damage. Could be a lot worse, just look at the rest of the country. I'll take this any day over what many have had to suffer through.

Hey, how's the new ride? Had it out much? I need a ride in that beast! I'll be you're spotter for traffic lights.

Lindsay is good.She has pain from the surgery of course but she is well.The only time it doesn't hurt is when she is standing or walking.I told he I would try to get a hold of Mr. Ed to find out how he sleeps standing up.

My kids came in around 6pm and said that the tornado sirens were going off. I told them they were probably hearing things. Then I turned on the news. Luckily we missed most of the storm, got some hard rain, but no damage. Knock on wood.

Hank, I hope everything is OK. Thinking maybe we need to start a "Mother Nature Fund" for everyone who has to use their generators, especially when gas is $4.00 a gallon.

Pain from the surgery is to be expected, I hope that's it and she'll be like new soon.

Everything is fine here Nancy, thanks. No power but that's a minor inconvenience. Other than the noise from the generator all is good, damn that thing is loud, or maybe it's my neighbor's, or my other neighbor's.
