OT- Stacey of MT Pleasant take cover

Just heard there is a tornado warning for your area. BE SAFE!!! Can you guys (and gals) believe this weather???

This weather is just crazy.    0 degrees last week, 15 inches of snow, now 61 degrees and thunderstorms coming.    Then 51 tomorrow with rain changing to snow tomorrow night.   It's easy to get sick in this weather. Linda

Washtenaw and Wayne counties are under a watch, too.  Along with Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Sanilac and St. Claire....maybe one or two I missed..... I HATE tornadoes!  But my bedroom is in the basement...LOL! 

At least you have a basement! My area, Shiawassee County, wa**** hard with hail and wind in late July. In fact there are still work crews in the area finishing up re-roofing and siding several homes. We certainly don't need this again. Please everyone be safe and watchful.

My STacey???? Be carefulllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :) Shannon

Allman Brothers - They call it stormy Monday But Tuesday's just as bad. They call it stormy Monday But Tuesday's just as bad. Lord, and Wednesday's worse And Thursday's all so sad. kp

Written by T-Bone Walker, btw. The rest of the story: The eagle flies on Friday, but Saturday I go out to play. Sunday I go to church where I kneel down and pray.

And I say, "Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me. Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me. Just trying to find my baby, won't you please send her on back to me."

The eagle flies on Friday, on Saturday I go out to play. The eagle flies on Friday, on Saturday I go out to play. Sunday I go to church, where I kneel down, Lord and I pray.

Then I say, "Lord have mercy, won't you please have mercy on me. Lord, oh Lord have mercy, yeah, won't you please, please have mercy on me. I'm just a-lookin' for my sweet babe, so won't you please send him home, send him on home to me." Enough wind and driving rain right now that it woke up an indoor cat.  Be safe, everybody.

You are right. I stand infected. kp

We have the tornado watch and thunderstorm right now. PRobably shouldnt be online. Crazy. We had 24 inches on Saturday that all melted. Leave it to Michigan to change in an instant. Amy

From our local "fishwrap" newspaper: TheMorningSun.com Severe thunderstorm**** mid-Michigan Monday night, producing high winds, huge hail, spectacular lightning, and knocking out power across a wide area. And from WZZM-TV 13 in Grand Rapids: Created: 1/8/2008 6:38:49 AM Updated: 1/8/2008 6:38:49 AM The calendar reads January, but spring-like storms rumbled across West Michigan Monday night leaving thousands in the dark. Consumers Energy says as of 6 a.m. Tuesday 12,000 customers statewide were without power, mostly in Montcalm and Isabella County where a transformer failed. At the peak of the outage there were more than 22,000 without electricity. In greater Grand Rapids only 4 households without power. Consumers Energy estimates the lights should be back on by 7 a.m. Tuesday. I reside in Isabella county........... Thanks for the heads up- but I lost internet and phone and cable at about 731pm last night and had no warnings other than the sirens.  Other than 90 percent of Mount Pleasant being without power, I and my neighbors are fine.  It was horrendous.  Not my first 'tornado' either.  Back in 1999 I was in GR and went thru a storm that produced 140mph straight line winds that did over 2 thousand dollars worth of damage to my car from flying debris.  This morning we are on generator at work, (in broadcasting- what else is there?) and the majority of the main strip on Mission is BLACK as can be. Fortunately, I had power so made it into work this morning at 6am. Just learned campus is closed - unless they do classrooms in the dark (that could be interesting!) Thanks for the heads up- often when a storm may be coming or is close- I lose internet, cable and phone and it's still down and NO telling when it will be restored. Stacey in Mt Pleasant ----------thanks!
