Tornado on the ground, on it's way up north plus warnings until 7am.
Go to the weather channel or local news for details, just letting you know to look out for this storm. It's packing a wall up this morning.

This is some of the wildest weather I've ever seen in Sedona. The thunderstorm just kept going all night long...I don't think I've ever heard such loud thunder. We must be catching up on correcting our drought conditions by now!

I hear we are under a tornado watch until 11 am....not sure what I'm supposed to do if I see it coming though !

Get in a hallway or another room with no windows, like a bathroom. Lots of people in Tornado Alley end up waiting out a tornado crouched in a bathtub.

That storm is building right out of Lake Pleasant. Check out the Radar in weather.com, it looks like a generator pumping it out. Pretty cool

Wow, ya, I've seen there are more touching down, some flipped some mobil homes across the freeway. I'm use to a few in the valley, but not in Flagstaff. Thats weird to me.
My brothers in Prescott, need to give him a call I guess. I heard it was out the window at the weather station for Flagstaff, so they confirmed it on the spot. ha ha
I thought that was funny.

Hasn't all this been something???? My mom said she never slept a wink all night because of the storm. I remember being woken up around 4:30/5:00 but, once again, managed to go back to sleep. Can't believe the hail up here. We seem to have lulls now and then but it comes back just as crazy as before.

My wheelbarrow is where I left it the other day, outside the kitchen door, and that thing has soooo much water in it! Lost a small limb off one of the apple trees but it was one that's going to be lopped off anyway.

I go to work at 2:30 today so I hope I can get there during a lull!!! I doubt if Cottonwood or Sedona have to actually worry about tornadoes...but I guess we don't know either! Good luck to US!!

Be careful, the first tornado started right outside of Sedona this morning. Cottonwood and Sedona are now under a tornado watch until 5pm. This thing is still coming, with rotation galore so check the weather station before you venture out Brat, wouldn't want you to get sucked up today. lol
