So Much Rain Last Night

We had a lot of rain Saturday night. Here is the stream that flows out of the lower pond where I live. I shot it with my iPhone using iVideoCamera.

I Think Excite Weather is a Little Confused

I am hoping it is not really -15 degrees outside. I think it is more like 50 degrees F.

Snow in Alabama

We woke up to find it had really snowed in Alabama. This is the first heavy snow we have had since we moved here 41/2 years ago.

Airport Twittering

I was poking around seeing who was following my DefenseProcurementNews.com twitter and found that a bunch of airports tweet updates. Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) might be worth following if you fly anywhere in the US. They had this recent classic tweet:

ALERT! 9:59AM CDT: AMERICAN AIR FLT CANCELLATIONS LIKELY TO TOTALLY SCREW ANYBODY HEADING THRU DFW. SORRY, THIS ISN'T EXACTLY NEWS.. 09:59 AM April 10, 2008 from web

Like it said if you fly through DFW you expect AA delays and cancellations.

Tornadoes

Alabama was hit pretty hard last night with tornadoes, not as bad as some states, but we had four dead in the general area. We did get up and take shelter for an hour, and there is a reported tornado near our house, but HSV and Madison County came through ok, as did we. It took something like this for people to realize that we lived in Alabama.
