Training thunderstorms are when several thunderstorms that have formed on a single line (and you can many storms in that line that line up like train cars, hence the name "training" thunderstorms) , and each hit the same area one after another (which can result in flooding).Wow I never knew that. Thanks for the info Stephen!
My cat died last month, so now I just have my bird. I've been looking at places online at cats up for adoption, though.Good for you for looking at adoption!
Is there a website where I can take a snapshot of myself via webcam?You could use a site like ustream and take a screenshot of the stream.

EDIT: NM.
