Severe Thunderstorm Warning: Lamar and Marion

Still have that nasty storm over western Marion County at this hour.

It is about to start spreading down into Lamar County.

Folks from west of Hamilton down through Beaverton, Detroit and SUlligent should be especially alert.

Just got a report of golf ball sized hail nears Shottsville from Twitter. That is in extreme western Marion County.
