I have been in the woods a few times during severe storms. The most frightening time was during a tornado warning (which I knew nothing about at the time). I was down in a hollow full of mature poplars when the storm rolled in and the trees started swaying violently. I'm telling ya, there is NO WAY to feel safe in that situation. All I could do was stand against a tree and try to watch a full 360 degrees for the tree that was going to kill me.

Yesterday, tornado development was limited until evening by a strong thermal cap, while supporting upper-level winds did not arrive until later in the day. Today, no cap and strong upper-level winds are already in place. Expect strong storms to begin popping like crazy across MO/AR/IL very soon.

All of West TN (west of KY Lake) is now under a "PDS" tornado watch. PDS means "Particularly Dangerous Situation." PDS watches are only issued when a major tornado outbreak is expected, with powerful, long-track tornadoes.

I once thought that as well. The scale goes up to 10. See link below.

I was watching the noon news on the local channel and Jim Cantore from Weather Channel is here in Paducah. I guess they except some serious weather this afternoon and tonight.

Remember - it's not 'that' the wind is blowing - more, it's 'what' the wind is blowing - protect yourself from flying 'anything' in a tornadic situation -

Be safe out there -
