That doesn't sound like a good thing.

We've had a few t-storm warnings this afternoon, have taken cover once already for tornadoes and are now under multiple flood warnings. This is going to be the start of a bad night.

We were just talking about how it was a late storm season at work last week. One person said they were worried we'd get a repeat of May 2003 while I said I was more worried about 1993/1995. Please, let's all hope it's not a combo of the two!

In addition at 10:05 pm-NOAA facebook page states that it's still down. Link is included (turns out it's not the only one that has had problems tonight!)
