I’m afraid I don’t - the view there is very much in the moment. It’s the ingredients as they come together.
I’m sure there will be something similar tomorrow for the GA/SC/NC/VA coasts but so far it’s not out there that I can find.
Yep! I’ve already been called for restoration DAT work.
I pray it’s not bad!
My 20lb squirrel terror went into psychotic trauma whenever it thundered until I got her a Thunder Coat at the pet store.
I was skeptical when I bought it but am a converted believer now.
Thunder Shirt, not coat.
yep. watching it. thanks for the ping!
Thank you. I don’t know if they make anything for my 60-70 lb Blue Heeler.
Big tornado hit south of Brent and Centreville, AL, headed for Calera.
