No, i often see my posts deleted without a word being said about it.

I guess I really didn't send those PMs yesterday.

I don't know about that, but I certainly wouldn't mind banning you. 

I tried talking some sense into him (following rules and whatnot) via PMs, but apparently he still doesn't understand. :crazy:

Wow, that's some wild weather Stephen! Hope you got through it ok.  :ph34r:

Yeah, we did. We didn't get hit by the storm that produced the tornado, but the first storm that developed went through us, and the winds were pretty sporty, although it wasn't too strong. We got some much needed rain, though.

Thats pretty minor stuff, at least around here it is. Did you see a tornado? that would've been cool.

Not yet, but the storm cell responsible for the tornado is it is making it's way towards my area, at least it seems that way from the radar. :ph34r:

Wild weather in my area tonight.

First, around 7:30ish, we got hit with a thunderstorm, which had vivid lighting, some strong winds and (much needed) heavy rain. Then, a tornado warning was issue for the extreme southwestern portion of Escambia County (my county), due to a tornado being reported by the public. This tornado warning is still in effect until 9 PM CT.

From what it sounded like, it was an ongoing thing, not a one-time deal.

Not to me. Since this issue is fixed now, it doesn't really matter.

Well it was 10 minutes ago, so it still could've happened.

It did happen 10 minutes ago.

Cleaned up the thread. Everyone, PLEASE stay on topic! I'm getting very annoyed having to delete a slew of posts one by one due to off-topic posts. Gary and I will remove posts if the post is found unneccessary. The best thing to do is just not go off topic at all. It makes life easier for us.

Well..I can assure you Gil wasn't BSing...I'm staring at a blank screen...and had a musicless Local a few minutes ago.

EDIT:  My Star is ****ed up.  Now I'm seeing the LDL with no picture.   :-\  I'm taping it with my VCR...when the package gets ready to be sent over to Gary it'll be with it.

I saw that as well. Very weird.
