Any time you have a situation where you have grapefruit- sized hail with damaging winds, those are some severe storms.

There was a sense of being in the midst of something having prodigious weight and volume but no form, of being utterly unable to utilize past experience.

I loved weather, all weather, not just the good kind. I loved balmy days, fearsome storms, blizzards, and spring showers. And the colors! Everyday brought something to be admired: the soft feathery patterns of cirrus clouds, the deep, dark grays of thunderheads, the lacy gold and peach of the early morning sunrise. The sky and its moods called to me.

Several factors are expected to come together Friday creating the potential for severe weather.

This is developing into a potentially dangerous situation.

With the looming thunderstorms, expect high winds and possible hail.
