[beachn4fun]

((HUGS))Good morning, Beach. How’s it going?

[Arrowhead1952]

Taking the pup walking in a few minutes and may go fishing again. I have to work this PM again.

[beachn4fun]

From the looks of the weather map, most of the country are under heavy clouds or storm warnings. A good day to stay inside and watch old movies?

[beachn4fun]

Good morning EG ((HUGS))

Not much going on at the moment.

Whatz up out your way?

[E.G.C.]

Well, as you might have seen in the headlines this morning, severe weather in our neighborhood.

Here in Comanche OK we had just some rain, thunder and wind but down around Dallas-Ft. Worth some major damage from tornadoes along with unfortunately some fatalities.

Our thoughts and prayers with those impacted by last night's severe weather.

The forecast is for more severe weather in parts of Oklahoma Sunday and Monday.

[beachn4fun]

I did see the headlines. Hope no FReeper was affected.

[PROCON]

Quick Thursday Howdy!

[beachn4fun]

ROTFLOL...love it!

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

I know you are on the way out the door, so have a tremendously, terrific Thursday

[Arrowhead1952]

WE have overcast now, but sunshine is coming later and highs in the low 90s.

I’m on my iPad, so can’t really do good graphics without it taking forever. I’m having problems with connecting on my laptop.

Hope all you Early Birds have a good day...the weekend is peeking around the corner! :)

We are to have temps close to 100 for the next few days. Not a good thing.

There was a horrible tornado in Granbury, Texas that killed 6 people...God rest their souls.

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. Keeping our friends in Texas impacted by last night’s storms in our thoughts and prayers.

[luvie]

Good morning, EGC! (((Hugs)))

Thank you for the prayers for the people involved. I just hope they don’t find more have died! I was relieved that the FReepers living in that area were safe!

[beachn4fun]
