I heard what sounded like just a regular little thunderstorm. But something wasn&#8217;t right.<\/p>\n<p>10:55 in the morning, a massive bow echo moves in, bringing 70MPH winds, flooding rain from 1 to 5&#8243; an hour, and <strong>alot<\/strong> of lightning. Just under 6,000 bolts.<br \/>\nOnce it passed, it really left it&#8217;s mark. Though we got no damage, other parts of the city and especially Louisville was dealing with flooded roads, and power lines down.<br \/>\nAccording to the local weather, this monster started in Iowa, and kept going for hundreds of miles, and a truckload of storm reports as it marched it&#8217;s way towards us.<br \/>\nTomorrow could see more severe weather. But it should stay north of us, and come overnight into Saturday.<br \/>\nThis was just one of the wild, but scary pictures of when the storm moved in;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"The Leading Edge of the Storm\" src=\"http:\/\/sitelife.whas11.com\/ver1.0\/Content\/images\/store\/14\/5\/3e2d9642-83d3-4379-a546-b0035e10a0d6.Large.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"329\" \/><br \/>\nThis is what&#8217;s known as a &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shelf_cloud\" target=\"_blank\">Shelf Cloud<\/a>&#8220;. The leading edge of the line that went though the area, taken by a viewer from WHAS11(one of the local channels here) from Charlestown, IN, around 10:45AM. When you see this, high winds of 70MPH are likely. And notice how it just turns day into night.<br \/>\nThey showed video of the lightning, striking the Ohio River, and a few buildings in Downtown Louisville.<br \/>\nWhat was so eerie about these clouds&#8230; they&#8217;re the same ones you see before a fucking tornado drops out of the sky. Dark, low-hanging, greenish clouds. Scared the crap out of me.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nIn other news. I now finally have a solid base on how much to save up for. I talked to the guy that installed my computer, and he gave me all the prices I needed.<br \/>\nThough it&#8217;s more than will have for the end of this month. So I&#8217;m forced to wait &#8217;till August to have the money.<br \/>\nThis means no TS3&#8230; so, I gotta wait. So I might as well make the best of it to make the waiting less strenuous, by trying to play my old games.<br \/>\nI keep forgetting how I didn&#8217;t let this issue stop me when I was trying to replace my PSU before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woke up this morning, and noticed how&#8230; dark it was, and it was 10:47 in the morning, yet, it looked like it was in the evening.
