We had rain on and off all day yesterday. Then around 6:45pm the local klaxons sounded off warning the area of impending doom. About 20 minutes later the wind and rain kicked up a notch and lasted for about a half hour then abruptly died down to just about nothing. The after math ended up being some minor roof & storefront damage and downed limbs throughout the city and just across the river in Newport, KY. No big deal.
Since moving here, I've noticed that the natives overreact to storms (IMO) compared to where I used to live down in GA... where we would have storms of much grater magnitude on a regular basis (2-5 times a week) in the late summer. And god forbid if there is lightening... these natives act like there are scud missiles raining down while cowering & huddled together with their sobbing small children. It's quite amusing considering I grew up on the highest hill in a "lightening alley" and was subject to direct hits on my home regularly.
