Torq seems like you got the makings for a great get together pal. Although I hate flying through them I just love storms, they bring people together like the good old times, roughing it. As long as you have batteries and booze you're in great shape buddy. Wish I was there

9 states w/o power including D.C. with temps reaching 100. It's gonnna be a bad few days until htey can get power restored. 6 dead so far and I'd bet the total reaches 20 before it's over.

Just came into car to charge cell and cool off. 95 degrees right now and up to 9 dead. One guy killed last night 5 miles from my home. Microburst cell knocked down a tree on him. Took 2 hours to remove the tree to then remove the body. More storms tonight i hear. It hit 101 today and no air no water

Things can always be worse, thanks for all the well wishes.
I invited several neighbors over and we had a BBQ! What the heck

This was my favorite peach tree. Its gone but the house is ok so i count my blessings

This is Duke waking up from a nap in the car. A little AC feels good in 101 weather. Also good time to recharge cellphone. Thank God for cell phones!

21 days without water!!!!!!!! Maybe I have to rethink about this cyclone adventure yard. You have too many problems in USA from weather sometimes
When we had to go 21 days with no water in the flood of '94 we put every large open container in our yard to catch rain water just so we could flush the toilet. Hang in there. So sorry about the weather woes.
