Nebraska is famous for its summer storms. The one that is approaching Omaha right now is only supposed to have high winds, hail, and rain - no tornadoes, so I may be losing power any minute. Right now, the rain is falling, the TV is on to the local station's weather crew giving updates, and the family is snoring - all is right in the world, despite a heat index of 86 degrees outside (cozy inside with our cool "bought air", as the heat pump is doing its thing quite well, actually!). Where ever you are, I hope you also have this sense of peace and contentment in your life, cozy while the storms are raging outside.
If you are looking for a great weather site that gives real-time radar, try Intellicast. Here is the link for the radar loop for my area, but you can adjust it to view your area instead:

This is also a useful site to see where snow/ice conditions are before you head out on trips in the cold months.

Teri--unreasonable as I know it is, I still wish I had seen a tornado on my recent visit to Nebraska!
I love being safe at home when there is a storm raging.
That isn't unreasonable, Jeanne - lots of people make their living off of tracking tornadoes, and I know you would have met the challenge if we had had one while visiting the Grand Island area. They did get a bad storm there the other night - even derailed a train off the tracks, and took out many buildings on a farm - so we were right close to ground zero for excitement. Here's to calmer skies for us all.
