Severe weather does look to be over for us, didn’t see anything busted up on my way through town coming home from work thankfully. It was however a treacherous drive, minor street flooding is currently ongoing and will only be exacerbated by more rain. If you see water across the road, just turn around, it may look like only an inch or two but if the road is washed out it can and will float your car and take it downstream. Hopefully everyone is okay and didn’t sustain any property damage.

Looks like everything is behaving at this point, we need the rain and I don’t mind a few rumbles of thunder. Be safe everyone.

As of 11PM the severe thunderstorm watch was extended until 1AM for Hopkins County and areas to the west. This watch did not include Wood county or Franklin County and it currently hasn’t been expanded to include any counties east of Hopkins. Even if you are not in the watch area severe thunderstorms can and frequently do happen outside of counties in the outlined watch location. Much of the storm we dealt with earlier happened far outside the watch polygon.
