Spring forward for Daylight Saving Time means we will go from a sunset Saturday evening of 6:43 pm to a sunset of 7:44pm Sunday evening. I like it better when it is dark early, and I'm not ashamed to say it. Who's with me?!

Hurricane Ian has rapidly intensified into a 155mph monster category 4 (almost5) storm just 77 miles from North Port, Fl. This is devastating. The winds, certainly, but even worse the storm surge and the rain. Pray hard for Florida, y’all. David Karnes

Throwing cold water into the air versus throwing hot water. The air is cold and bone dry so the near boiling water easily throws out water vapor as serious steam. It also looked like there was a little crystallization.

Okay guys. It doesn’t get much more serious than this. Tomorrow afternoon / night PLEASE know your plan if a tornado warning is issued. No mobile homes. Go to the lowest, most inside part of your sturdy structure. Program your weather radio. Download the WRCB weather app.
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT for Thursday is increasing. Chattanooga & westward are under a Level 4 risk for WIDESPREAD severe storms likely. This is uncommon in our area, & everyone should take it seriously. Ingredients look to be in place that were not there last week 1/

So my MINIVAN is in the shop for a few days so I decided to rent a small compact car from Enterprise.
Enterprise guy: Mr. Karnes, I am so sorry. We actually don’t have any compact cars. For the same price would a sports car be acceptable?
Me: That… is acceptable.

Just a reminder IF a tornado develops know where your safe place will be BEFORE the storm arrives. Generally a basement or an interior room on the lowest level of your building is ideal. If you live in a mobile home, hang out with a friend for the day.
