Teri in Laf.
Mike I hope you had a good time with all your family!
And Thanks for the update!
It's hard to keep up with all these watches and warnings! But we will do our best!
Justin.
OH, and I just got a report from a friend who was traveling from the south side of Tipp Co. to the far west of the county he stated the roads are deceving..and yes slick spots...He made it safely home. But very tricky with fog slick roads and all!
Teri
Ya Teri I just talked to my sister who was out by the Tippecanoe Mall and she looked down the highway and said all you could see was FOG!!!!! Just White FOG!
All be careful if you have to go out!
Justin
Glad your sis made it home safe! I am worried about my family going home from work they get off at 5:00 this eve, they live in the county... PLEASE BLOGGERS! Remember all at WLFI all have to drive in this stuff as well... THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL AT WLFI. BE SAFE!
Teri
My sister is still out in this wild stuff! I had talked to her on the phone! ALso I just seen one of my neighbors pull out!
I to hope everybody gets home safe even more before it gets any darker! With it being dark and Foggy! Not good!!!!!
Keep in tuch with anyone out you know!
Justin
Its getting really bad out there!!! Take heed to Mikes and bloggers updates...
got that right all of you, my daughter is out in this and after reading about all the accidents,, I freaked, told her to get her butt home NOW, she is not far away thank the Lord.....
Really bad here in Remington! My hubby went to work in this stuff and will be in it most of the evening and into the wee hours of the morning! Hope he is careful.
Looking out my windows thinking I need to wash them...no it was fog, has been the other way around though:(
Just arrived in St. Louis from Laf. The fog was terrible most of the way.
Drove home to S. Newton County from a dr. appt. at Arnett and it was an icky drive!! It often felt like a snowstorm's "white out" which make me state at the center line so I didn't get disoriented. I was going well below the speed limit due to severely restricted visibility and I was really angered by those whizzing past me....they had NO idea what was ahead of them as sometimes the visibility was only right ahead of my front fender. People just do not think...and I don't want to be THEIR casualty. I am so glad I am now home.
lme
fog is now lifting some in Laf.wind is picking up
I just checked outside and the Fog has really let up! Thank goodness!!!!! :)
It is looking a lot better here in Lafayette.
Justin in Lafayette
No fog in Attica it has been trying to rain!! feels like spring outside!! Love the transition from cold to warm. The ground must be pretty soft also! Scanner went off and said train off of tracks with cars still standing! This would be on the south end of town towards ADM Grain.
Richard
HI LME from S Newton County. Did you see my message to you on another thread? I live in Remington, right down US#24. It is good to have a "neighbor" in the county I lived in for more than 30 years. Keep posting!
To you in Rem whose hubby is out in this fog...oh my....hope he is careful, too! It is pea soup out there! Step outside---it is unreal with a temp of 53* and climbing!
Thanks, Teri and Justin for "worrying" about me. Justin, not a river but Carpenter Creek goes right through our property. The flooding last Jan was literally all around us. It is so reminscent of that time and situation---melting ice and snow with a forecast of heavy rains.
I keep checking radar and still see nothing close (just caught the web update!!--thanks MIke!) so will sleep well another night.
Mary Anne in Remington
Teri and Justin...check the nat'l radar. Storms are starting to fire in MO and IA :-( At least Mike is saying the worst rains will be in IL far west of us. I feel for them as they had a lot of snow recently as well.
MA in REM
Ya Mary Anne Thank you I could not remember if it was a Creek or a River! ;-)
The latest models I have are showing the rain / thunderstorms starting around 7:pm tomorrow night!
You will keep in tuch I hope?
Justin.
MIKE,
IM FROM MONTICELLO AND LIVE ON LAKE SHAFER. I HEAD TO FLORIDA EVERY WINTER. HOW ABOUT CURRENT CONDITION WITH HIGH WATER OF FLOODING ON THE LAKE FOR US SNOW BIRDS DOWN HERE..AND MAYBE CURRENT CONDITIONS ON THE DAM AT INDIANA BEACH..THANKS
Here we go again another wind advisory, along with the flood threat.....And in MO there have been reports of wind damage with the strong storms also a Tornado watch in AK..
Yes Mary Anne and Justin, I was watching the radars last night..the wind kept waking me up, and I would get up and check...
Teri in Laf
