OFF TOPIC: Misawa! 6920th ESG 80-83. Awesome place to be stationed. Lots of snow in the winter, too.

I'm just finishing up with flooding, 4 units at work, my bedroom had about 2" in it due to a failed sump pump. My weekend sucks.

Spotters reported several funnels couple miles northwest of us and storm was headed right at our place. Wife was driving home from Ft Morgan and in area with no cell service. Very frustrating not being able to reach her for warning. Radio had just reported that cell was falling apart, which was why she headed home.

Got a shit ton of rain and small hail. Tornado spotted couple miles east of Ft Morgan and another spotted near Log Lane Village.

Major props for the volunteers of Northern Colorado Skywarn and the Wiggins volunteer firemen. Monitored them on scanner while I was stuck in traffic jam between Monument and Greenland.
