WEATHER TEAM 18 WEATHER ALERT: A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING is in effect for MONTGOMERY AND SOUTHERN TIPPECANOE COUNTY. This storm has the potential of producing small hail and vivid lightning. It has not had a history of producing severe weather. The tornado warning for FOUNTAIN and WARREN Counties has been canceled as expected. NO TORNDOES OR FUNNEL CLOUDS WERE SIGHTED OR REPORTED!
Update as of 12:49 a.m.
Tornado Warning for northern Fountain and South-Central Warren County is DOPPLER INDICATED.....which means no confirmations have been received of any tornadoes, but you still need to be in your designated safe location....our latest Live Doppler 18 scans is showing slight rotation, but no strong tornado signature at this time. If this should change we will cut in with the very latest. Right now we will continue to watch it closely but it is behaving just like the other thunderstorms have before it and Precision 18 is not showing any rotation at all for now. Let's keep it that way.
Update as of 12:35 a.m.
No changes and no further storm reports....we have a warning in Fountain and southern Warren County for small hail. Things will hopefully be improving over the next hour. The worst part of this storm will be near West Lebanon at 12:40 a.m.
Update as of 11:48 p.m.
Power outages in Downtown Lafayette
No Damage reports from TEMA
Worst cell we are tracking is quickly heading into Monon...
history of producing dime size hail near Fowler....no rotation at this time
storms in Illinois moving our way have not had any new warnings issued with them

Well right now it is still tracking to the north north east so if it dont shift I think we will be ok. also right now we seem to be rideing right on the border of the storm.
Justin in Lafayette.
Lots of Lightning and a good 3-5 minutes of about 1/2" size hail, then about 10 minutes of downpour here in Fowler.
Romney Scaredy Cat,stay calm for your childrens sake! Are you new to this area? We have some mighty strong storms here, AS I stated I am the worst when it comes to storms, I just want to keep my love ones safe. So while they are sleeping I am watching and ready for the safty plan. My family used to think I was crazy too,I would pace from window to window. Take a deep breath and stay calm!!!! The storms will pass soon.
The storms are moveing up north following the warm fornt.

Thanks Garrett for the Fowler update! Good to have you aboard.
Remington was just grazed with that Fowler storm. I only recorded .06 rain with vivid lightning, but no CGs that I know of,. I received a WX statement saying the storms have weakened.
Scaredy Cat I have wasted a LOT of hours of sleep worrying about storms in my long lifetime. I have armed myself with all kinds of free radar programs, have a WX radio, belong to many wx groups online, read everything I can on severe weather, and trust Mike for updates :-)
Take care this will soon be over for tonight.

We can not control the weather, And we all have our fears, you will be fine, but remember this is just the beginning of summer and more storms to come. I my self had to face a monster of a tornado! Had a safe place now here I am watching listing and wondering, but not a fearful just cautious.
Bless Your Heart.
your fellow blogger.
Where is Warren and Vermillion? County? Just issued a tornado warning? Is that coming towards us??
We are going to be in the strong storms till at least 3:00am and when I say strong I maen like what is going on right now. The clouds going through lafayette are at
500ft. Still could see some hail in places.
Justin in Lafayette.

Justin in Lafayette.

Justin in Lafayette.
Mike do you want us to stay up all night with you? Just kidding, cant get rest due to light show and the humidity. Dont wish to turn on the air as of yet.
Instead of t-shirts about the winter of 2007-2008, we are facing the summer of 2008! I say all bloggers meet for pizza or a chatting place. Would be nice to compaire stories, and knowledge!
Weather radio just sounded off for a severe thunder storm warning for south tipp county storm could give out pea size hail.
Justin in Lafayette.
Okay Romney Scaredy Cat, here is your chance, its comming your way!
Get in your safe place, the weather alarm went off on sounds like you might be in the t-warning area. STAY CALM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry let's hope this is the last one for the night but if not I'll stay up all night if I have to.
Justin in Lafayette.

Made it to the kitchen to wait while it passed over ! They are still sleeping !! Is there anymore ???? I don't want to be alone with the kids tomorrow if this is how it is going to be all day !

Hey - Where do I get one of those weather radios ? I will get one on Thursday when I am in town to get cake and gift for my baby who will be turning 2 on Thursday ! Happy Birthday Morgan (my sweetie) ! I need a weather radio, but not sure it will ease any fears !
Well I dont think it will be like this by morning however there will be a few thunderstorms but not this bad. Hope Im keeping everyone updated well. I thank all of you for takeing my info.
Justin in Lafayette.
You can get them at wal-mart!
Justin in Lafayette.
Mike, is this going to be going on for hours and hours or will push north soon? Thanks for the frequent updates!
We have a plug in weather radio with battery back up we bought at Best Buy, and we have a small walkie talkie size/style one we bought at Meijer. We keep the main radio in our bedroom and it is LOUD you can hear it through the whole house, the small one we take with us as we head to the basement. The small battery radio is annoying since it must be reprogrammed every time it needs new batteries.
I dont think this is going to be over anytime soon. I just lost power, and thanks to Justin my weather radio is now working, so I cannot run the battery out on my lap top, Strange the neighbors across the street have power, and I must be getting sig..from their wireless. off for now hope power comes back soon, sounded like a transformer.
The severe thunderstorm warning is over but the tornado watch is still going till 3:00am. Right now we get a little break from the storms but we still are haveing rain on the back side of the rain there is a few more storm to watch sorry it's not all good new's.
Justin in Lafayette.
omg the thunder last night woke my 15 month boy up and it took 2 hours to get him to go to bed. So I got back to bed about 4am.
I think all of us are a bit sleeply
