Well, I'm not at home right now. I'm in Ft. Smith, AR, and the nasty isn't quite here yet. The XYL and F-I-L just came out of the storm cellar at home, though. Nothing happened but thunder, so far. Other parts of the state haven't been so lucky.

No antennas to worry about at the moment. The concrete for the tower base is still curing.

Looking at NWS radar online , the nastiest of it is near McAlester , with multiple tornado warnings , headed toward Ft. Smith . Did you know that most McDonalds restaurants have basements ?

No, I didn't....but I'm in my rented room. If need be, I'll head for the bathroom when I hear the sirens.

Sunny and 65 here but 100% chance of rain and thunder tomorrow. Just that time of year and just for the record, we never had weather like this till they started messing around with that bow and arrow.

The feces is hitting the rotary ventilator as I type this. The dogs are upset, the trees are swaying, the house is creaking, and the NOAA weather radio and the TV are sounding tones like a symphony.

Are we having fun yet?
