Good morning!!!!

66 degrees out, strangely warm, and rain is coming. But what's first tonight just looks like light rain.
But that front behind it is remarkable. The radar shows over a dozen tornado sightings already in Illinois and that line
of storms is long and nasty. I'm guessing our turn will be tomorrow morning. Ahhh, right in the middle of Monday morning rush hour traffic he gloated, as he drank another cup of retirement coffee. Thank you, thank you that I don't have to be out in that mess.

Good afternoon all. yesterday high was 65F cloudy and windy. Today's low was 61F 71F for the high,and had some nasty weather nearby this morning. Testing on the boat is done. Carb rebuild worked, no choke when running on main jet. Plugs needed a quick clean and now idle is smooth and one cylinder does not quit.

We just had a tornado hit this area less than five miles away from where we are staying...so glad we were at the hotel as the warning was so sudden. It was 72 degrees and very windy when it happened.

You were the one claiming you were bored!:laughing: Off in an expensive hotel, with your "girlfriend", and you are BORED? :confused3:

Guess it took a tornado to liven things up for ya!

Are you sure that it isn't springtime in Texas? Those are the sort of numbers we put up this past Spring. My heart goes out to those hit or otherwise affected.

Am I sure I'm not talking about Texas???? Yes I'm sure! Now its 70 Tornado's. I'm sure Texas had more FG.

good morning all. warm wet and rainy here but the front passed through early this morning and never woke me up, so couldn't have been too blustery. Looks like it will be out of here by noon, and then I guess the final batch of leaves can be cleaned up tomorrow.

Honestly, I can't imagine living in tornado alley. But then I wouldn't live on the California coastline either...
the problem is that tornado alley seems to be getting bigger with global warming. Usually the storms from the West hit the Eastern mountain ranges and pretty much dissipate before they get here. But then Kansas doesn't get NorEasters either.
