The fires on the national news are now 70 miles from where we live...we're not worried except for friends who have homes in the path of this epic destruction.

26359. arkymalarky - 4/21/2011 1:13:19 AM

Scary stuff. Hope they subside. We're getting drenched.

26360. judithathome - 4/21/2011 9:33:30 PM

That huge storm you got missed us because it went north of us...odd, since we usually get the same "storms".

26361. arkymalarky - 4/21/2011 11:07:30 PM

It's rained about 3 solid days here.

26362. judithathome - 4/21/2011 11:28:31 PM

God, I wish we'd had the same rain...the fires are so brutal. We certainly could have used that moisture.

Jude,

My email addy for you is old and bounced back. Can you email me at my old yahoo addy? It's the bridgeburner99 one. I don't use it much --- it's kind of a catch for junkmail, but if you email me there I can respond back from my new mail.

26364. arkymalarky - 4/22/2011 3:23:52 PM

We couldn't get one thru to that one. If you get a chance you can email or call me. I think you have my recent ccontact info.

26365. Ms. No - 4/23/2011 7:04:50 AM

Will do --- I'll give you a call tomorrow after my Masters presentation.

26366. arkymalarky - 4/23/2011 4:21:59 PM

Perfect! Good luck with the presentation!

26367. judithathome - 4/24/2011 7:18:03 PM

MsNo, I sent you an email...did it get there? Didn't come back, at least. Ha!

26368. arkymalarky - 4/26/2011 4:34:58 AM

Looked like y'all got some of this round, judith. We've had it rough here, starting this morning. One of my scariest drives to work ever. Way worse knowing mose was somewhere behind me. Ar had a lot of damage, but none here. Will be on the way to work.

26369. arkymalarky - 4/26/2011 1:45:58 PM

Gonna have to brace ourselves again today. School's out due to trees down and no electricity.

26370. judithathome - 4/26/2011 8:15:35 PM

Believe it or not, that storm "parted" and we only got some mild rain...it was bizarre...the TV maps showed all this fuchsia and bright purple above and below us and just yellow (rain) in a sort of "hallway" right along the corridor of where we are...with the bad stuff above and below us.

This has happened twice in the past two weeks...I know we're gonna
i pay
for it sooner or later!

26371. judithathome - 4/26/2011 8:16:57 PM

(that "i" was meant to be italics...I keep forgetting we're "old school" here!) ;-)

Arky
I know I am not a regular poster but I was concerned about you. How are you doing with all the blasting weather in your state?

26373. arkymalarky - 4/26/2011 11:47:04 PM

Thanks Msgreer! We checked out the storm cellar up the road a while ago, and other than some little rodent sharing it with us and some dirt dobber and swift nests, it's good to go. Mose and SIL are in my parents' partial basement. South and east of us has been catching it so far, but people keep saying it's coming. Right now it's good here, but we're ready to go to the cellar if we need to.

26374. arkymalarky - 4/26/2011 11:48:52 PM

North is catching it too. If you view the AR satellite, our house is the clear spot. ;)

26375. msgreer - 4/27/2011 12:01:39 AM

Arky
Good to know.

26376. msgreer - 4/27/2011 1:30:38 AM

Arky
Good to know you are taking such good precautions.
It always surprises me when people lose their homes and family yet have the spirit to go.

26377. arkymalarky - 4/27/2011 1:51:55 AM

We haven't been to the cellar, actually a root cellar bob's grandparents built, since mose was little, but 8 people died yesterday and they've been saying for days that tonight would be very bad, so it was the thing to do to make sure it was usable.
