The lightning you see is the southern end of the storm system that’s wreaking havoc tonight. Fortunately for you, it’s moving slowly east. I’ve had Ryan Hall up since I got to sit down this evening and it’s been a rough day and night AGAIN from TX on up. :-(
The young man from Taiwan is here to go to school at the university a couple of miles from the museum. Apparently in history, they’re studying the War of 1812 and someone told him about the museum. He was surprised to find out that there are military museums in the US because he said they don’t bother to preserve military history in Taiwan or other Asian countries. He was very interested today and said he’ll come back again. My guess is he’ll come alone next time because his daughters are very young and really weren’t enjoying themselves.
A fella who’s been there a few times showed up today simply to buy two more museum t-shirts - - he lives 100 miles away! LOL He was wearing the shirt he’d bought for himself last time he visited. The two he bought today are for his grandsons.
Our first visitor was a fella who left Indiana EARLY this morning to drive down to check us out. He’s a military historian and author and found us on the internet, and decided to come down to see what we have.
Sounds like you guys are picking up some really serious interest, and it’s only going to get better. And guess what? I shared the post about the spring opening the other day on FB, and now I’m one of the museum’s “Top Fans”. LOL! I’ll wear that as a badge of honor. :)
Things are getting really rough again tonight. At least yesterday, most of the bad stuff was in daytime when people could judge for themselves where they stood. Nighttime tornadoes are just the scariest! Steve is on Day 2 of coverage. He’s doing a great job. He has all kinds of scanners, a up-graded radar program and lots of sources from the chaser world. The only thing he can’t do, because of stupid YouTube rules, is show video footage someone else has taken. If he does, his channel gets hidden. Like being in FB jail only more serious. LOL!
I think the wind has calmed. I don’t hear things bumping around outside anymore. I’m going to watch one more show and then head out. I need to try to sleep. Last Sunday I was almost a zombie because I snuck in “just one more show”. Ugh! 🤣
