4000 Emulator clip from Central Park
JFK Airport recorded the highest daily amount of rainfall on record today. Exactly three quarters of an inch of rain fell, breaking the old record set in 1984 by four hundredths of an inch.
A tornado was also reported near Islip in Long Island, something that does not happen quite often in this part of the country. Here is a public information statement from the NWS.

... National Weather Service meteorologists confirm EF1 tornado
touchdown in Islip Terrace in Suffolk County...
National Weather Service meteorologists investigating storm damage
in the Islip Terrace area with Islip emergency management officials
have confirmed that tornadic damage has occurred in the area.
The tornado path was discontinuous and started in the town of Islip
Terrace sometime between 9:20 am and 9:30 am near the intersection
of irish Lane and the north service Road of sunrise Highway. It then
continued about two-thirds of a mile to the eastnortheast across
Carleton Avenue... across Roslyn and Nassau streets and ended at
Nassau and kunigunda place. The path was narrow at first... only
around 50 yards across near the intersection of irish Lane and the
north service Road of sunrise Highway but fanned out to 150 yards
toward the end.
Most of the damage was to Hardwood trees. Twisted off branches were
evident throughout the damage path. Some trees were snapped off
halfway up... including some healthy... forty-plus foot pines.
In addition... the medical arts building at irish Lane and sunrise
Highway sustained structural damage... with significant loss of its
roof covering and the hvac unit blown off its roof. Other homes
along the damage path also sustained some minor damage mostly to
siding and some directly from trees.
Based on the damage this tornado is classified as an EF-1 tornado
with estimated wind speeds of 85 to 100 mph.
The National Weather Service had issued a Severe Thunderstorm
Warning for this storm at 849 am that was upgraded to a Tornado
Warning at 919 am. The tornado occurred in the Islip Terrace area
around the time the Tornado Warning was issued.

Local Forecast / New 7and5 album
« on: July 18, 2007, 10:24:03 PM »
I was browsing through iTunes and found a new album by 7and5 called "Trading Stories," released last month. I like some of the songs on there. My favorites are Trading Stories and Beautiful Days. I just purchased those two songs from the store. Hopefully the songs from this new album will make their way to TWC. I think some of the songs would sound good on the local forecast.

All areas of the XL used Helvetica, except for the title bar headings on the current version, which I believe is Interstate (the same font on the IntelliStar), and the TWC logo.

Both my parents make good food, but my mom can probably make more things than my dad. I can also cook a lot of things.

Scattered thunderstorms, some with heavy rainfall, are moving through the area. More thunderstorms with the possibility of small hail and damaging winds is in the forecast through early tomorrow morning. We will see one more hot and humid day tomorrow. A cold front will then move through late tomorrow night into Friday. High pressure will then move in for the weekend bringing slightly below normal temperatures and lower humidity levels.
Notice how it's a lot cooler in areas that have been hit by rain.

Ugh, that Honda commercial with the cartoon character is back. This is the fourth year in a row that they are showing this. I can't stand it!
