Title: Boyah Pulse Check
Post by: Clara Listensprechen on January 23, 2012, 08:43:58 AM
Last night some boyagers expressed concerns about oncoming severe storms, and I heard this morning that some houses did get severely damaged. That, and there's still a tornado watch in effect for southern areas.

Hope you all did well and there are no MIAs to report. Stay safe.

Sounds like the monsoon drenches I remember when I used to live there.

Oklahoma sure could use a few thousand buckets of all that; we're still in Severe Drought mode over here. Ya, the tornado problem appears to be in the Alabama/Mississippi region...ish.

Good to know you're not flooded out or anything.

It's funny until somebody goes into a serious skid. There's nearly a whole year of auto oil and rubber build-up on them thar roads and when wet, they do get slick as ice.

yeah, I appreciate that people are at least conscious of driving conditions, but something like that really isn't likely to happen except in exceptional circumstances (ie not slowing down from 30mph at a stop light)
