These storms are whipping-up seemingly out of nowhere. Witness Sunday's line of storms which I observed from some distance and saw slanted sheets of rain falling north of Princeton and sweeping to the east/southeast until they hit Princeton Meadows 20 minutes later at around 6 PM. I hope everyone is safe, first and foremost, and that all respect the power of Nature.
