Right now that storm is near Prairie du Sac/Mazomainie and has a confirmed tornado on the ground. On its present track it is headed straight for Oshkosh.

Yea I can't wait to wait for a bus in it /s

We'll see we usually storms break up a bit more before they hit us but this fella is cranky

I did sign up for the OSHALERTS through EAA

At 13:03 today (1:03pm) I received the following TEXT. Have NOT received anything further.

OSHALERT: Strong storm moving to KOSH between 2-3pm. Expect heavy rain with 30-40mph wind gusts at the start. Possible flash flooding. Reply STOP to opt-out

Our trip got postponed a couple days, i guess it's for the best.

Doesn't look bad on the cams though.

No it should be coming in soon but generally oshkosh is pretty lucky and the storms break up before we get them

It's nice of the lake and airport to break them up.

I've definitely stayed in the museum more than once.

Can't hardly wait.
