Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
From the info {right now}, we hear...this could be our turn for the "big one". So, we're watching very close. We've already had 5 min. of extremely hard rain....and penny size hail.
Stay tuned.

Good Morning
Been awhile since I last posted here
Going to be a bit of a funny day today...going up to 39F in the dull with showers beginning this afternoon and a possibility of those ol' t'underin'boomers coming through later this afternoon/evening. Winds will be picking up to about 50mph this afternoon/evening/overnight/tomorrow...et cetera....
Finishing up the updating/upgrading of the new computer we got..all software has been reauthorized and all has been running well...so far

Well, that snow storm they said was going to hit us overnight turned out to be nothing but a very light dusting, man I wish I could get paid as much as our Weather folks and be so wrong so often! Oh well, currently 19F and a bit cloudy right now...

Just to cler things up, I was about 20 feet from the track. I had me 55-250 on and was shooting from the bed of my truck.
Train show tomorrow.
Be safe all!

Time to duck if you're in the eastern part of the country.
TWC has issued a "TorCon" of 9/10 for some areas of the southeast, and here in the north woods they're forecasting high winds, unrelated to the severe weather systems.
Already one confirmed twister in Alabama, possibly others indicated.
Pay attention to your media, weather radio, and the sky.

Got mah "ears" on -
Just going to sit back and watch the rest of the country. We aren't supposed to have any disturbances (knock wood)
Louisville under the gun shortly - a couple of cells passing just to the north. Defiance is at the upper end of the line.
TWC just upgraded their "TorCon" to 10/10. Everyone in that area faces the very real possibility of a tornado within 50 miles.
Welcome to spring!

We're still under a tornado warning as I type, have had damage all around us and some deaths reported around Madison, In. (Jefferson County, In.)(about 40 mile north east of us .)
Very high winds, heavy rain, Sarah said that out at the CSX yard (that's south of us), they had half dollar size hail earlier today.
(our house is about 2 miles from the Ohio River, and about 5 miles from CSX's Osbourn yard.)
Here, at the house, we seem to be fine, no noticeable damage, still have electric so we should be good to go. We've had our hatches battened down for awhile, strongly suggest those east of us do the same and hang on!
CW should be in shortly with more info.
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Hang on, it's gonna be a wild ride today!!!
Back at the house, where it's snowing at over an inch an hour now, supposed to get about 7-8 inches of wet snow. Heard a crack of thunder earlier, so it's really coming down.....
Recovering from work today, plan for weekend is to start work on some trim in our living room and hallway, and work on a small layout. My sister opened her mouth and said it would be nice to have a train running around the christmas tree, so I found a plan that worked and got all the material ready last time I was home. Hopefully, should be able to run a train before I leave Tuesday....
Stay safe, everyone....

....This is strange stuff. Right now, we have a sky that looks like a nice Summer day. Puffy light clouds. {out my east window}, what's coming in the west I can't see from here. And it's warm.
Generally, we're on the northern fringe of it. We've had several {3 or 4}, blasts of extremely heavy 5 min. rains and one of them with hail to the extent, there was white ground out on the golf course greens. And where our spoutings exit down at the ground....A big space of white very hard rain washed off the roof.
We're not out of the woods yet, to continue under the threat until in the evening. They were talking of possible 60 to 80 mph winds here, but have not seen anything like that yet.
So....so far, so good. Hope everyone escapes without injury and property damage.
Have been listening / watching the Louisville reports Walt....Looks like lots of red and purple in the area as this unfolds.
Well, doctor visit went all right: the abdominal aortic ultrasound showed no problems. But, my little toe is staying discolored, so I go back next Thursday for another test. Doctor feels that something must be clogged somewhere, for that one toe to stay discolored. Hope we find out something from this next test.
As for the storms this afternoon: had tornado warnings where my brother lives down in Bullitt County. Haven't been able to get hold of anyone, to find out if they're all o.k. Did try to call, but phone just rang and rang, so guess his wife and grandkids they have custody of were out and down in the storm cellar. Winds are still blowing really strong, hear them gusting at times. At least the weather sirens have quit blaring. And there has been 1 death confirmed from the tornado that hit Henryville, IN. Tore the roof off the middle/high school, but fortunately, all the kiddos got out safely. That's about all I know right now.
Our Friday Fish Fry is on the warmer bar, with the regular fish, sides and dessert menu.
Everyone take care, have a good evening, and see you all in the morning.
Everyone please take care. Assuming you still have power and an internet connection to read this.
I almost feel guilty saying that it is 34° here now, after a very nice few days. They say that we have just had the eighth warmest winter in Calgary since record keeping began in 1875.
As Joe says "stay safe"

We had more snow last night, and during the night and into the morning, many people had, not only their ditchfinders on, but also their carfinders. The highway patrol was quite busy. This afternoon, as I was on my way to see Ricki, I was slowed considerably by the result of one car's brushing another on dry pavement on the approach to a curve (that's what it looked like to me when I at last reached the culprit and victim.
One area in the valley, close to the benches, received a foot of snow (this may have been the sum of Wednesday night's and last night's precipitation.)
Johnny
Upwards of 60 twisters last time I heard, over two dozen deaths. Neither is a record as far as I know, but it's nothing to ignore, either.
Milton VFD in KY lost their Station 2 to a direct hit by a twister, as reported by the firefighter who weathered the storm in the station. About all that was left was the area he was in. Color him lucky...
Headed out to take more paint off a locomotive tomorrow.
Good Saturday morning everyone. Cloudy, breezy and 35 degrees here in Louisville right now. Supposed to get to 49 degrees for a high this afternoon.
Larry, I've been looking at some pictures on the internet this morning, of some of the destruction yesterday: ranging from Alabama, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and elsewhere. There are about 82 pictures, and I've seen 31 of them so far. Definitely remembering all these people in my thoughts and prayers.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And our Saturday morning brunch is ready and on the warmer bar.
Everyone, have a good morning, take care, please, and see you all this evening.
Good morning and peace be with you. Currently 65 and cloudy, headed for 68 and off/on rain thru tomorrow. That big storm front has been a big bust so far. Very little rain, no thunder at all and no warnings or watches. We need the rain badly!
Thanks for breakfast. I hope all is well in the midwest and everything is still intact. You folks have been in my thoughts all night long...
Take care and see yall later

good morning
keeping prayers for those affected by the tornadoes and storms last night.We had some wind gust through but no damage here.Working on chores which Matt says is no fun.Cw thanks for breakfast.Will be back for pizza tonight.

....Not sure of total fatilities in southern Indiana, but it was way too many....Believe the last figure I heard is 13.
Devastation with property damage. Henryville, about 35 or so miles north of Louisville. Believe that area suffered massive fatilities / damage.
We got by without any damage here in the Muncie area. Had several "red cells" {within the storm line}, that produced rain so hard one could not see across the golf course fairway.....Several passed thru like that, and one with a supply of hail. That's always an attention getter for me.....knowing that condition often accompanies a nearby tornado. We had wind, but I don't know what the gusts might have been. Must get a long wanted electonic wind gauge. Just have put it off and have not done so....
We include our thoughts in our nightly prayers for the many family losses yesterday.

to all involved there...
Here we had steady winds of 50mph with gusts up to 80mph recorded..we had a big maple tree come down on our front lawn...missed our house by about 5 feet...we also had some steel awning from who knows where land on a car that was parked on the road down the street a bit...shingles flying..oh joy...
Sorry about getting back in here so late; but, we seem to have acquired another virus on our desktop. So had to wait until we could get Sarah's laptop. Guess we'll have to take the puter to the experts come Monday morning.
But our Pizza Fest menu is now on the warmer bar.
Everyone take care, and we'll see you all whenever we can.
breakfast is on the warmer bar.juice and coffee are ready too.Time to get ready for church and Sunday school.
.......A skiff of snow overnight. A few off and on snow flakes now, and 30 degrees.
Continue to see updates on the massive destruction in southern Indiana this morning. Terrible loss of life. Some of the systems were upgraded in velocity, from evidence seen in the type of damage.
Just watched a report where that young child was blown 10 miles by the storm, and found in a field alive, but critical...!!! Remaining people of her / his family killed.....So terrible.
Eveyone try to offer Prayers for all the families effected at church this morning.
well i am finally back to where I can post. Knee surgery went well and rehab as well. Had a couple posts then an unrelated gall bladder failure almost took me out. ( If hadn't been i hospital ???? ) I did see that light at the end of the tunnel but decided I woud go back into the tunnel. 2-1/2 weeks later am finally on the mend.
Word of advise to all readers. "If you get a sharp pain at the upper right quadrant of your chest near your arm pit get it checked out. There is not as far as i can find out a good test for gall bladder failure.
CW: Glad your test came out OK!!!!!!!!!!
Working from Sarah's laptop. Our current temp is 44.2 degrees F., waiting to see the moisture start. We are under a Winter Weather Advisory until about 7 a.m. Monday morning.
For our Sunday Dinner menu: Meat loaf w/mashed taters, gravy and green beans w/shellies, onion and diced tomatoes Italian.
Everyone have a good evening, take care, and see you sometime tomorrow.

Quentin, according to my home page, that young child has now died. She was flown here to Louisville's Kosair Children's Hospital and was up until a few hours ago listed in critical condition.
.....Perhaps that is a blessing Walt.
If the child was in terrible condition and all of the family gone.....So sad.
Seems some places of this storm was more than extreme. Generally one can survive by finding a strong location in one's own home where it's a bathroom or closet...someplace with walls close together and not on an outside wall. But some of these sites....nothing remaining but the concrete slab....!
autorack train replaced by wepx coal train in the siding.guessers say warmer temps on the way.Time for bed.cw I found some breakfast leftovers in the fridge.
Since leftovers are my specialty - I can't imagine how I missed those!
Joe - spring is hurrying right along. We had a lot of greenies springing up yesterday - both in and outbound. Every coal train seemed to have one somewhere in use.
We had snow awhile back, then rain and now the blow dryer is on full blast. 40-50 mph winds these past few days. Sunshine like mad! When wind stops for the night, my scanner picks up lots of fall calls for the fire dept medics.
Life goes on.
