I am glad to hear from you this morning. I was a little worried about that storm.

Yeah, Independence Day isn't listed, either. I tried to add it one time, but it didn't work out. Maybe Jeff or the other executive elves have to do it.

Minta · Apr 28, 2011

Good Morning everyone.... I have been hoping and praying that everyone is safe. The weather has been insane lately.... prays that it gets better sooner then later....

We are expecting some wind, rain and thunderstorms today nothing too major thankfully.

Hope everyone has a SAFE and great day!

Has anyone heard whether the weather is supposed to settle down for the Southern states soon? There's a tornado warning until 9:45 this morning for some of the Maryland counties, so maybe the deep South is out from under this morning. We're expecting some strong thunderstorms in Mass. later today, but nothing like what happened last night.

Almost forgot to ask: What was Carl's special blend last night? Was it a tribute to Cinco de Mayo?

I hadn't noticed the events list before ... I think Memorial Day and Independence Day should be included.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

Prayers and well-wishes to everyone out there affected by this terrible weather. Our corporate office is in Birmingham, and I'm getting some sad reports from that area, and in Tuscaloosa. Glad to hear RJD is ok after being in the middle of it. I'm sorry for those that have lost so muh.

It's overcast here, with tornado watch in effect, but it's relatively calm.

I hope you all have a great day! Stay safe! cheesy

Good Morning, Good Morning, my Wonderful Wayward Windy Friends.

Ah! Here we go again. More severe weather predicted.
Tornado watch out again.
High wind warnings issued for our viewing area.
(Looks like we will be holding on tight again today!)
It's overcast and 76 already as I type this but no rain is falling currently.

Well, let's blow that scary thought and breeze on over to our count:
Days to the Season: 199
Days to Christmas Day: 241
Wow! Two Milestones in as many days. And we're down into the 100's!
What's next?
Well hold on to your Santa hats -- it's Milestone number 8, it's only 17 DAYS away and it's the ONE HALF Season mark!!
(Is it possible we are talking the half way point to anything yet??)
Yep. Mark your calendars for May 15, the 50% Season Milestone.

Keep safe with all the wild weather out there and have a Thrilling (but not TOO Thrilling!) Thursday, Everyone.

Jeez...has anyone seen the weather channel video of the tuscoloosa tornado...and the one in Birmingham...when you see them touch down you will notice everything just tears apart. They are saying over 200 ppl have lost thier lives yestersay and overnight...worst outbreak in american history..we just lost power for 2 hours and had some rain and wind and bad lightening. but nothing like North Ga and Alabama had. MerryCarry I think by the afternoon everything is going to settle down..although I see New York is under tornado waches right now..Stay safe everyone!

I just saw on the Weather channel the Carolinas are going to be under warnings around 1am, my sister is located in Charlotte area, I hope they take proper preparations. I may not sleep to well knowing that.

Once again stay safe everyone.

I have been watching CNN all morning and and the videos of the tornado's are just freighting. I have been in 3 of them but thankfully they have all been small ones.

17 days away from the one half season mark! Unbelievable. Time is really flying by this year.

Good Morning Everyone from a Windy Central Indiana!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had some strong storms roll through last night with some very strong winds. I was woken up at AM by some very loud banging that turned out to be my neighbors rocking chair and table being blown down the length of the building. I was smart and brought mine inside last night since my last one got broken in a similar storm last year. We didn't lose power but my phone has been out all morning and the only cable channel I am getting is CNN. I won't complain though. The damage here in Indy is nothing compared to what happened down south yesterday. My plan for today is to get some more laundry done and then sweep and mop the kitchen and bathroom. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
