Getting first signs of thunder now in Springfield, MO. Watching the radar and weather coverage makes me wonder about my safety. The lower thunderstorms are just about over us now, but don't appear to pose the threat of those passing through Polk county. No torndao warnings yet. I told my wife, “Nothing in this house is as important as you.” I meant it, but didn't know why I spit it out right now. Might be a little scared now.
