Almost, but I was polite.

Years ago my parents had a phone number that was one digit off of a local pizza joint. My dad always identified himself. Folks would start off with a pizza order. He would tell them ONCE that they had a wrong number. If the same person called back he would take their order and tell them they were the lucky 10,000th customer and their order was free. Just come in and talk to the manager and pick up the order.

For some reason the pizza joint went out of business within a few months.

All of that was long before caller ID.

Probably just some wimpy little F1 or F0. I hope no one was injured.

I have heard that every county of every state in the lower 48 has had at least one or two tornadoes. We are slightly above that count.

Wimpy is a F0.

F1 should get your attention.

F0 is 40 to 72 MPH winds.

Fujita scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The F5 that hit Moore was a bad mo fo killer. It takes a building down to the concrete slab.

You guys should send some of your rain down south to help squelch some forest fires

There are parts of the world where I always ask "why would anybody live there". Don't take this the wrong way but the PNW is one of those places

SloDave's photos of Connor's band turned out great. He did a fantastic job even in the rain.
