Babs, what would I do without you? You're like my own personal translator, getting me out of trouble.

It's 10:15, I just watched the huge black clouds come rolling in, and then the rain started. That was cool to watch!

We're going to bed, I'm tired, one kid is already asleep. I'm betting he sleeps through everything.

Well that was anti-climactic.

I didn't see ANY strong wind whatsoever, and not really any rain to write home about either. Guess it passed over North.

But I liked that the kids in the condos surrounding us on all sides had no booze for a night...we actually got some sleep.

Yeah that was a big dud. Closed the bar, stripped the hotel grounds for...nothing. A bit of rain. Raining off and on this morning, but nothing heavy. Back to normal.

Thanks...but I was just reading the fine print on Dr. Jeff's Blog. Some gathering forces in Africa (where our storms start). We'll be watching that one later this week. Oh well, life in the tropics.

Hell, we get thunderstorms worse than that in Texas!

Glad everything went fine.

I would be more concerned about the Hurricane Redheads that will be hitting town today!
