From what I've seen from other people's stories and experience it is possible that twc's overprotective spam filters have black listed your email address... I'm not sure how to correct this.
You have to be added to the "whitelist" which involves emailing a note to admin@weather.com requesting to be added to said list. Sadly, this is a human/manual process and usually takes about a week.

Great pics, Joshua! :D The big bolts of lightning fascinate me too, although they can be a little startling at times.
Thanks everyone for such nice feedback, I wonder if one of these could actually show up on air on twc, that would be awesome :D

<-Also, like my new avatar? :P

so this weekend marks my last weekend in San Antonio as I head off to college, some of my friends left today...and i've come to the conclusion that...it sucks.

lol -- i hate saying goodbye, i hate hearing goodbye -- i actually prefer "later", as I see friends drive off into the direction of their college/university I can only wonder if we'll ever see each other again...although deep down I know we will for holidays such as Thanksgiving and Winter Break etc.

but still, adapting to this new environment I will be calling "home" next weekend is going to be tough, new people, new friends, new courses, new everything, part of me is excited...the other part of me is brought down with sadness.

a new chapter begins next weekend for myself, and other 09ers heading off to college (if your classes begin aug 24  :PB)

Al, you're coming to a stage of sadness there. Some of us have been through it before. It's gonna a pretty tough weekend there so you'll get through it! Make sure you are also keeping in touch with them if you can. College is very exciting! But can also be very hard at times. I wish you a very successful year!

Yeah I started mine earlier last week (to the people who are leaving)  Luckiliy, my best friend is opting to stay here for a couple years, like myself, so that's nice.  But a lot of close friends are leaving :(.  And yes, it is sad.  But I am sure it'd be more sad if I was leaving too.  It must be mixed emotions, Al.  I am sure you are excited and nervous abotu college, sad about leaving friends and family.

TWCs email system wont seem to accept files over about 4mb.

I think it's 5MB, but none the less, I think that's only for iWitness weather and public accounts, etc...

We were all posting our internet speeds a few pages back and I was at the Apple Store today so I took a speed test and this is what it was...



I wish I could get these speeds at home!

That doesn't have anything to do with the internet speed. :no:
