Well, well. We here in southwest Jefferson County just had something of a surprise tornado warning. Mrs. Jib noted that the sky was getting dark, so I looked to see if there were any warnings. Sure enough, a severe thunderstorm warning was in effect, and they were saying the storm was capable of 70 mph winds. And it was about 5 minutes from town here. So we ran out and secured some things. The lovely Mrs. Jib dilly dallied a touch, and I started to get nervous when I some low scud type clouds blow by. They looked like smoke they blew by so low and quickly. I started to get antsy and started to say something to Mrs. Jib when the tornado siren a block from our house went off. After we crawled back into our skin, we quickly headed to the basement, Delilah the unhappy cat in tow.
So far I've heard no reports of a tornado or tornado damage in the Jefferson-Fort Atkinson area, although there are reports of trees down. Those of you east and northeast of Jefferson county may want to keep an eye on the sky this afternoon.
