It's so hot that I saw a bird blow on a worm before he ate it 😳

A few storms are headed our direction. The NOAA transmitter in Hannibal is out, so weather radios are not functioning. FM Radio, internet, and media are the methods you can use in the mean time.

This line of storms has some serious mojo! The wind in and around Quincy is picking up quickly.
Stay tuned and keep an eye to the sky!

We currently have an enhanced probability for severe weather this afternoon…

04/16/2024

A few tips to remember in case our severe weather threat materializes tonight and tomorrow:

1. Weather radios should be turned on and properly programmed.
2. If you don’t have a basement know where you are going in the event a tornado occurs.
3. Be prepared for high winds and power outages.
4. Teach small children how to react to storms before they happen, not while they are occuring.
5. Plan for how you will take care of your pets.
6. Don’t wait until the last second to take cover.

Stay alert tonight and tomorrow afternoon. We have a chance for thunderstorms tonight, but the real weather is looking to arrive tomorrow afternoon. Stay tuned…

We’re all clear for the moment. There was a siren malfunction.

Sirens going off in Quincy. Nothing on radar, television, radio, or weather radio. Working on an answer…

UPDATE: I see three different corridors of TORNADO POTENTIAL:
1. central/northern OK through southeastern KS into southwestern MO along southern surface low track.
2. Red River/southern OK at the nose of expanding low-level jet
3. warm frontal zone along I-70 in Missouri

LIVE storm chase mode begins at 3 pm.

Sometimes the Storm Chaser becomes the chased! This was my front yard and driveway this morning. Missed my boat and truck by inches.

This is the Tri-State Storm Chaser Headquarters and we took a pretty good hit tonight. I feel a lot of chainsaw time in my future.
