I know a lot of people won't be able to , however , lets try and get some wrest and hope that this one is a "bust " . I was just talking to one of my best friends , whom was with me 8 years ago in that F5 in Oak Grove and how very weird that it is that 8 years later , basicly to the day that we have the almost exact same threat . I know our weather team will need to get all the sleep they can even though they probably will not either . Again , James, JB , John , Jason , Bill , & Brian you gentlemen are very much appreciated allready for what we may have to go thru . Thank YOU for your dedication and love for us and this weather .

I've heard that one a million times (and about 1/2 million times it has verified). We'll just have to see.

Still, though, I really don't want to see another deadly day here. That's not cool. Severe weather fan that I am, there is a limit beyond which it just becomes tragic. The comparisons to 1998 make me uneasy.

When you are chasing them, make sure you chase them back up into the sky. Actually, I really mean... stay safe. And thanks for your dedication.
