Just to update on conditions where I am [Niagara Falls]...

Mild winds last night; nothing really bad...this morning [7:00am], it was very mild...No wind to speak of; light mist...At 9:30am it started pouring...Torrents...I was loading my truck and got completely soaked...An hour later, back to the mist...Then about 3 hours of dry conditions, actually nice, but cloudy...

About them clouds...If you saw the Tom Cruise version of "War Of the Worlds", the clouds today looked like the clouds in the beginning of the movie...very ominous...gray clouds...

And it was weird; I could see the Toronto skyline, the tall buildings...You can only see them on clear dry days...But they were visible today...

The sky to the South was very dark; to the North [Toronto] was very light...

Very curved patterns to the clouds...

Right now [7:45pm], the epicenter is to the South of us, at the junction of Ohio & Pennsylvania...No wind here to speak of; light rain falling [sprinkling]...

The forecast here is that the light rain will continue for the rest of the week...BUT...The winds will pick up as the center passes us and the edge winds sweep over us on Thurs/Fri...

So our time will come...

BTW: Great pics/video on The Weather Channel...
