April 10, 2009: Severe weather outbreak strikes our region…
It has been a long 24 hours. Numerous severe thunderstorms struck southeast MO, South IL, West KY, West TN (and many Aciclovir without prescription other areas). McCracken County had winds of 80+ mph and Massac County did as well. Lot of damage to structures.
Numerous counties had hailstorms. We had several hailstorms in McCracken County. Graves County had a large supercell with a hook echo pass south of Mayfield. A wall cloud was reported.
Rough 24 hours. Glad it is over.
Spent a lot of time over the last few days at the farm. Jason and Jess Darnall helped put weather instruments up and trench some ditches. Looks like everything is moving along!
Some photos and images from the last few Lithium online days…
