Wicked weather in our area forced Beth, I and family to our basement storm shelter twice yesterday.
This picture taken at 6 PM during full daylight of what the weather folks called a "Super Cell" fully darken the skies over Woodstock causing wind shear totals of 100 mph plus winds, hail and heavy rain.
"Wind shear is the change in wind speed or direction with height in the atmosphere. Wind shear is important for the formation of tornadoes and hail!"
Several tornadoes were spotted around our area forcing the storm sirens to sound a half dozen times.
It was a storm similar to this last year that caused heavy damage to our roof which we had to have replaced.
Luckily we suffered no damage this time!

You know you get bad weather when you actually have a storm shelter ... way to be a good Boy Scout Ralph!
Ya we'll always be safe down there.
