Shutting down for the night...

[j_cheney]

Wind has been lousy for two days now, but were now having gusts in excess of 60....and the storm isn't even near the city yet (although we just got stuck on tornado watch).

We've already lost a main trunk of the river birch this evening. Drat. We lost one in the ice storm back in December, too.

And this weather is predicted to last ALL week-end. The back yard fence is swaying badly enough to make me worry. And power is iffy. So I'm shutting down for the night.

Whine whine whine....

'Tis but one reason I left Kansas City during a blizzard on January 2, 1974, headed to the West Coast, and never looked back.

The number of storms seem worse than "normal" this year. Would you agree, or have I been away too long?

No, the news has been all over that. We've already gone past the annual average in OK, and it's only early June (and we still have the little season in October).

I think we've noted that more of the storms have also shown up in places that don't normally get tornados...and aren't as praticed at warning for them.

Hopefully the summer die down will come soon ;o)
