Update: @BakerRL75 is back relaying severe weather updates, her Internet back online. Note: it's always good to have alternate channels of communications with folks you know through social media. #wx
Severe thunderstorms appear likely from parts of the mid Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee Valleys into the southern Plains. All severe hazards, including tornadoes, very large to giant hail, and potentially significant damaging winds are possible. Some tornadoes may be strong.

Mother Nature appears to be VERY interested in clobbering your car/roof/windows/head today, if you are in these colored areas. PURPLE!! (80% probability). #hail#WX
These unofficial Mastodon accounts of space agencies are bots that merely share news items the agencies publish elsewhere, yet the accounts have quite a lot of followers:
Heaviest May rainfall in 82 years recorded in WA town
"Parched areas of southwest WA have finally seen some rain this week, with Wandering recording its highest May rainfall in more than 82 years and the most rainfall the town has seen in 13 months."
Rain and storms spreading across NSW
"A three-day soaking has begun in NSW, with rain and thunderstorms expected to spread across most of the state over the next 72 hours.
An upper-level cut-off low will pass over NSW from west to east between Friday and Sunday. As this upper low crosses NSW, it will interact with moisture-laden air to produce widespread rain and thunderstorms across the state."
The greatest threat today for large to very large hail, severe thunderstorm gusts and a few tornadoes will be in western Oklahoma, the eastern Texas Panhandle and northwest/west-central Texas.
Please stay weather aware. #WeatherAwareDay#weather#wx#SPC#SevereWeather
