Right now Noon our time- the national radio news is doing doom and gloom hurricane news.[}:)] So a hurricane could be bearing down on you right now,and all you can see is stars?[^] I guess the moral is : forget about the hurricane.

There have been storms forever and there will be storms forever. Repair the damage and go on. Was in Kansas earlier this year and there was an afternoon of Tornadic activity in the area.....THAT WAS ALL THAT WAS ON THE MEDIA. The result of the afternoon and evenings weather activity was a small tornado tore up some trees in a remote unoccupied area. There is too much media, trying to fill too much time. Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Well, it looked to me like it was a normal traffic at a grocery store on a Thursday afternoon. Reply Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join.
