If you live in the high or moderate risk areas, please keep a close eye on weather reports.

Yeah the local tv weather folks here in mid-Indiana are freaking out.
Guess I better go out and see if the old gen set will start up, it’s been since last summer....

This would be an excellent time for his maximum eminence to fly into the area and get ready to give a few speeches.

We HAVE to drive home from Louisville to the Detroit area this evening. We can’t leave until after 5. At least I have new tires on the car.

Yetch, that means the AF one bus will be flying over head today here on its way to Miami...screws up the landing paterns as his maximum eminence needs a wide birth. I used to think it was a security screen but lately I believe it is one to keep the stench from affecting other aircraft nearby.

We have already received quite a bit of unwanted rain in the Twin Cities today. More on the way with flood warnings posted.

hmmm, looks like a cone, wonder where the focus is?

[American Constitutionalist]

Looks like it’s headed more northward this time.

They’re saying that the bad weather could end up seriously affecting the US Open golf championship just outside Philadelphia. There is real fear that the course management at the Merion Golf Club may not be able to keep the course dry right through the end of the week.
