    I'm in the middle of 200+ acres of corn that was just harvested. Plenty of space for them to disappear. Still quite windy out.

    My weather alarm went off multiple times last night. At approx. 2:57 a.m. it went off again, this time the storm with 60+mph winds possible to directly hit my area at 3:05 a.m. Now, when there is wind involved, I get a little bit freaked out. As some of you know, we have a 60' pin oak that grows right out of our deck and kind of turns right over the house. I immediately got up when the alarm went off to see what we had outside, checked the radar, and noticed the worst would stay south of us. We got some nasty gusts, and only lost a 8ft limb, that was only about 2 inches thick, so I was happy. All the weather guys said that this would be an interior NE event overnight, shows they were wrong again.....

    Glad that Pin Oak stayed put, what type of radio do you have for alerts or did I already ask.

    I remember a few members had Midland.

    This is a 10+ year old radio shack unit, with specific area message encoder. I have it attached to an outside antenna.

    A deep cyclone moving through eastern Canada and a strengthening high
    pressure system in its wake will team forces and sweep a defined frontal
    zone across the western Atlantic slowly southward through Florida through
    Wednesday evening. Thunderstorms are expected to focus near the
    quasi-stationary front from northeast Mexico and southern Texas eastward
    across the Gulf of Mexico into Florida over the next couple days. The
    cold air in the wake of the cyclone driven across the unfrozen Great Lakes
    will spread snow showers across Michigan late Monday, shifting eastward
    into northern and western New York and northern New England Tuesday into
    early Wednesday morning.
    Conditions will become increasingly wet across the northwestern states as
    a Pacific front and associated moisture in its wake washes onshore on
    Monday as cold air spreads into the region aloft. Showers and
    thunderstorms should erupt skyward within this unstable airmass, with
    snows at higher elevations and rains near valley floors. A strengthening
    surface high moves into the region from western Canada, leading to colder
    conditions across the Northwest and northern Plains by Tuesday night.
    Within the cold air mass, forced ascent within a low-level upslope flow
    regime will lead to light to moderate snows along eastern slopes of the
    northern Rockies across central Montana Tuesday into Wednesday.

    I need to get an external antenna for mine. Reception is not the best where I am.
