Looked as though Central IL took a whooping yet again, hope all are all right.

Small hail storm here just prior to sunset, dime size followed shortly after by Golf Ball hail. Mass amount of water, Berger creek is roaring down hill from us.
Loads of Lightning and wind at least no tornados here.

Snowing in central Ia. currently! Melting almost as fast as it's hitting the ground. We need moister, guess anything helps.

Yep, we got that snow early PM. But the lightning we go a few nights ago? WOW. Touched off a few fires here. Speaking to a local plumber they had a number of gas leak calls due to lightning strikes that arced through the corrugated gas piping in use nowadays.

3.6 in. in central Ohio today and yesterday so far. Supposed to get some bad weather yet tonight.  The fields have a lot of ponds in places i haven't seen in years. Quite a few roads under water and closed locally.

If my gauge is to be believed, got about .3" out of all that crap yesterday! if I could figure out a way to market this wind, I'd be retired tomorrow.

Man, we've been getting pounded with a lot of rain here in Jersey as well. Sure glad it isn't snow though! The property has little ponds all over the place and the lawn is mush..

We got over an inch of rain and thunder storms. Down below the farm radar picked up a tornado but thankfully it didn't touch down.

Here's the aftermath of one of those strikes

Appliance connector in a fireplace. The house did not catch fire but structure damage and their fence was blown apart. At this point I'd like to mention if anyone has corrugated stainless gas piping, you should consider having it electrically bonded to minimize such an incident
