Okay, nevermind, these are historical, although there is one tonight that COULD be a tornado

Just a signature vortex, meaning a specific storm cell's conditions are ripe, not actually a tornado tracker. Now if we were in Kansas, that might be enough to run for the basement. Oh wait, we don't have basements in Arizona.
Looks like once again, up here we're not going to get any water -- but watching that storm was pretty amazing stuff.

I love wunderground. Are you looking at real time? Because they are usually only a couple minutes behind, and show actual cells developing, changing, and disappearing.

Officially .80 inches of rain at Chandler Mike's tonight...

Looks like it may be done, that big new cell coming in appears to be headed for Scottsdale and north Phoenix.

I dunno Mike, its really blowing up and getting bigger. I think it could end up hitting damn near the entire valley again. This is rediculous

Yeah, you might be right...these look pretty good too, pink already.


Someone on Fox 10 just said this big practice facility for the Sun Devils with a big dome roof on it, where they practice??? It's GONE.

Thunder starting up again, it's building up down towards my house again, and south of me in that long weird line...

I've jturned off all the lights, unplugged the computers and the TV...

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought to themselves, "How the hell is he posting if he turned off the computer?" And then realized he must be posting from a laptop....

What the hell is going on tonight, I have never seen storms just train like this and have this type of power. Looks like we have at least one more round getting ready to move through the valley.

Oh btw, it is dry as a bone in Peoria. However, the lights have flickered a few times tonight.

WHAT A LETDOWN.
