ATTN...WFO...HUN...OHX...MRX...

Just had a major severe storm about 10 miles south of Dandridge, where I work. Had some dime sized hail, at least, and it fell hard and fast for about 5 minutes. Rain fell extremely hard for about 20 minutes. Road became a stream for a short time.

Nashville area has 1.5 inch hailer moving in.

I took some pictures of some crazy looking clouds on the way to pick the girls up from school, but I can't find my dang phone charger to upload em.

Well, I just hope the storms hold off long enough for me to grill. I got some fab P-chops marinating and some fresh corn o' the cob. nom-nom.

Radar looking sexy.

Lawrenceburg has literally received no rain. We have blue skies with storms clouds to the east. I want rain!

Here are some pics I took in Jeff county today of a small hail producer

Hate to interrupt our severe weather with the chance of snow (especially in the mountains) next week

Yay. Got my grillin done. Now, it can storm all it wants to.

It's a lyngo siting! Quick, somebody get this man a Bill Hall avatar pronto!

Welcome Lyngo!

Had a frog strangler where I work, 7 miles away where I live, nary a drop in the Cocorahs gauge.

Dude you are killing me, that is hilarious!

The Knox County force field has held up so far, I'm now going to taunt the rain by building a huge bonfire in my back yard. True Story!

(I need to get rid of some biomass)

Watched the radar ealier today. Pretty interesting. Storms north and east of Knox collapsed and sent out a gust front that generated the severe storms in east Sevier and southern Jefferson Co. Most of Knox and the rest of Sevier Co was in the "hole"--the place where the gust front passed though dry before the storms refired. Matter of wrong place at the wrong time if you wanted a good T-Storm.

Stove, Homemommy, and any others near Knoxville...looks as if Knox is under a severe t-storm warning now. Guess Stove's taunting brought on Thor's hammer.

It's like a damn James Taylor song in my back yard right now! Flames roaring... thunder cracking. It's a strange thunder too, like a muffled belch. So far the fire is holding it's own against the rain!

Decent hail core near Farragut.

Craziest lightning and thunder I've seen this year, holy crap!

I've noticed that a storm when weakening usually has thunder that sounds like a muffled belch.

But doesn't appear this baby is weakening. Maybe it's the cool, humid air.

Looks like an interesting evening. Love night time thunderstorms. Will be a good night to leave the bedroom window open.

That was by far the most awesome weather I've experienced this year. I rode it out under my deck. The lightning was blinding and the thunder deafening when it was on me, not exaggerating. Some of those strikes had to have been within a quarter mile. It was the kind that raised the hair up on the back of your neck! I seemed to have dodged the hail core though. Now just gutter-overwhelming hard rain. Needless to say, the fire didn't win the battle.

Pure distilled awesome.

Storms headin my way from there. Hope they remain intact.

Build more fires, dude.
