It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it ...and I feel fine!
In case you have been living under some sort of Alabaster Cavern-like cave for the last week or so, our local meteorologists have been saying that Oklahoma is on the verge of the 2010 edition of the "Ice Storm of Death". I personally hope it's not going to be that bad, but I have lived where the worst was predicted, but turned out to be quite the opposite. (No, it wasn't here in Oklahoma).
Ten years ago, I was in Tennessee and the local weather guys in Chattanooga were predicting something similar to what is supposedly about to come upon us tomorrow...and had been saying the same thing for three straight days (get your survival kit ready, make sure you have plenty of supplies, etc.) I wake up the morning of what was supposed to be D-Day...turned out to be a cold rain. Now, the mountains had the ice/sleet/snow, but not Cleveland or the valleys.
Am I saying that's what is going to happen tomorrow? I've learned not to doubt the weather people -- especially, as Lanny Ross would say, if there is a tornado in the Parkersburg area of town heading this direction; but I'm going to keep an open mind as to what happens. And pray our electricity stays on!!!
Have a great evening and stay safe. And now, for a little levity... (thanks James Aydelott)
