Severe Thunderstorm Warning!
I'm in Akron, OH on a business trip and I'm experiencing my first "Severe Thunderstorm Warning". I've always bemoaned the fact that the California Bay Area rarely gets thunder so it's pretty exciting to me. The thunder is constant, the winds are strong, the rain is hard, and I'm loving it.
Here is the text of the warning:
"SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH 507 PM EDT TUE JUL 8 2008

Here is a picture of the doppler showing my area about to get hit by the red (highest) level of rain!
