It has been forecast for days, and finally it looks as if the Gainesville area is in for some severe weather. A squall line is nearing us as I write, around 6 pm, and should soon pass through. The above photo has been typical for today: fast-moving low-lying clouds with very gusty winds and sporadic rain. It should be interesting to see how severe this storm will be...they are predicting more for us this evening as well. A tornado watch is also in effect and there is supposedly a danger of large hail. Well, I guess it's about showtime...
