Update Blog...Update-6-12-13

This is a post from my UPDATE BLOG.

Wednesday, June 12th, 2013- Ok, this well be fun. This is one of those continuing posts. I did this before with one of our epic snow storms. 

• 1:00 p.m.- Today, we are in the line of fire for some epic storms. We are in the PINK zone! I don't get to say that a lot. 
• 5:00 p.m.- Right now, we are getting the pop-ups in Illinois. It's still clear over here. But it's starting. I'm getting ready.
• 5:30 p.m.- Even more pop-up are forming, it's turning into a line. HERE WE GO! It'll be here in an hour, maybe more. Unless a pop-up forms on us.
• 6:00 p.m.- It's getting better. There are storms forming above the other line. We just have to wait and see. My area has a TOR:CON (a chance for tornadoes  of 5 out of 10. A 50% chance!
• 6:30 p.m.- It's getting closer. It's on my radar now. And we are getting some pop-ups, only one. Back at 1:00, the future track show them getting here at 7:00. I don't trust future tracks, but this one might be right. We'll have to wait and see.
• 7:30 p.m.- It's ok, here we go. There are pop-ups below us and they all have tornado warnings. The are going east though. It's getting better. I had a feeling we would be missed...but then I look at my other radar that's for Chicago... and this one. Yep, this could be epic.
• 7:30 p.m.- Judging by my radars and the news tracking of the storms, they are going to miss us. They are going to go just below us. I knew it.
• 9:30 p.m.- We got missed. But we did get clipped. Here's some pictures. There was a boat load lightning. I got some good video. There's still more forming, so we'll have to see.
• 11:59 p.m.- Nothing happened...Goodnight.
