That long red line to the left is just arriving at our residence, about an hour ESE of LaCrosse...and it’s already been an “exciting” meteorological kind of day.
No damage here, mostly rain and some wind.
(I'm also a trained weather spotter and amateur radio operator, so I was outside looking at the skies while all this was going on around me..)
On there it looks like the most severe color in the middle did get smaller but then grew again.
I have family up in Sheboygan and in Chicago, although the Chicago folks look to be not in the path of the reported tornado, which sounds horrible.
Crap! My sister lives about a half a mile from Wright's home. I better call.
Yeah, the tornado is still on the ground. Looks to clip NW Indiana.
