You Are Here
They're calling for Ice Storm warnings today. Other than that summer wind storm that screwed things up around July of 2004, we haven't experienced something like that since the Ice Storm of 1994. When things like this overtake the Memphis area, which is as I said, rare, the panic and rudeness factors go through the roof. All you need around here is a mention of a snowflake or a few drops of ice and the city shuts down and goes into emergency-mode. Schools and other establishments close, and the streets are no place to be at all.
People run to the grocery stores like the sky is falling, and stock up on Hot Dogs, Bread, Milk, Hot Cocoa, and other "essentials". If the electricity goes, all this ruins of course, people not really knowing how to survive anymore since we've all de-conditioned ourselves to plain living. Therefore, it becomes a sort of "Armageddon".
The worst thing that worries me right now is if it does turn "Ice Storm", and electricity is affected what about Mom and Dad? It's harder when you are caring for someone sick in your home when these things happen. So we can only take one day at a time and hope for the best I guess. We'll see... How's the weather in your neck of the woods today?
So this afternoon I will have to scramble around and try to play demolition derby with all of the "Residents of Rudeville", and get a front-row seat to their outlandish stupidity in action. It sounds like loads of fun really. Here we are... let the games begin.

Make sure you have all the provisions you need!
Jay, vids in the mail tomorrow! (As the weather holds out)
Rumour is really sunny tomorrow then warm - like 12 deg C (about 53 F I think)
We always worry about the power going out, especially after the windstorm in Sept. It'd ten times worse, probably 100 times worse, to happen in winter. You'd think that in the 21st century we'd have better backup for when the electricity goes out.
