I hit the button on the coffee maker this morning when the storms woke me up at 2:20. Then fell back to sleep before the coffee was done. Good grief, that storm about blew me out of bed, had winds around 60mph and the only real wind damage I've seen this morning is at the college with one limb down. The weatherman said that there was reports of a tornado South East of Dublin, and I'm thinking "I'm South East of Dublin". Didn't see anything.

Happy Birthday madhat! Mine too. I'm 48 today, 2 away from the big 50, and very thankful to have made it through last night. Those storms that Duallydog scared out of Texas sure had us on edge for awhile here in southeastern Oklahoma. Could be more in store for today, hopefully they won't be too bad.

CR

Happy BirthdayHat.
A friend of mine had her barn removed last night in the storms, she said that she could still find some of it littered on the road but not all of it. The 2 colts that were under that barn don't have a scratch on them.

Top this for a speeding ticket!

Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar, California . One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill.

The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then turned off
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A -18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.
Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back in true USMC style:


Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident.

You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.

Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location.

Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position.

The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech. Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.

Thank you for your concern. Semper Fi.
