OK, what’s going on up there in the Great Northwest…… eh?….. I just saw on the news that you’ve got eight (8) separate wildfires going along with enough rain to cause mudslides afterwards….. I guess you can have your home burned down and mud slid away in the same day…… Not Good!….. If you North [...]
……Free Sauna – just step outside…… The heat index in OKC yesterday was 111 degrees – Actual temp was 96 degrees…. The seven day forecast is for more of the same – high 90′s to triple digits (shade temp) – 105 to 115 degrees (Heat Index)…… This is due to all the excessive rain we [...]
I would’ve Posted this sooner, but, there was this visit from Jek….. He proceeded to re-invent my computer and reorganize everything!….. As soon as he left MR HQ, P.D. Bob decided he didn’t like any outsider (to him) messin’ about with the layout of things – so-o-o, he promptly reorganized everything to his liking….. Needless [...]
I know, It’s the same old bitch about the electric companies again…… We’re in an ongoing Freezing Rain/Ice/Sleet/Snow storm right now, and, the power outages are already above the 150,000 mark….. In the 2007 Ice Storm over 600,000 were without power, and, some areas did not have power restored for over 4 WEEKS!….. According to [...]
The earthquake in Haiti got me to thinking….. There’s a small town called Jones about 4 miles from where I live….. Usually they have 2 to 3 small earthquakes a year – about a 2.0 to 2.5, but, in the last 3 months, they have had over 30, yes 30 earthquakes!….. The highest being a [...]
Yep, Hosers, it’s been below freezing here in the Heartland almost constantly since even before the record breaking blizzard we had on Christmas Eve….eh?… Snow everywhere (even yellow snow) and c-o-o-l-l-d…… So-o-o, we’ve been annexed into the British Empire via Canada…. Take Off, eh?…… Here’s the details…… I woke up yesterday with a Royal Canadian [...]
How’s those temps been the last week or so up there in the Great Northwest…. eh?….. Yep, I thought I would send you Northwesterners just a little taste of our Oklahoma summertime weather…. I wasn’t able to include the usual high humidity that we have though, but, I think you got the general idea….. I’ve [...]
Yep, that’s the forecasted temps for the OKC area for the next three days…… We’ve been in the triple digits for the past few days, and, it looks like it will continue out past the three days, and we are one of the, dare I say, cool spots in the state…… The panhandle area is [...]
If you don’t have all your thought’s together, you can always talk about the weather…… It appears to be getting weirder and weirder by the minute….. All of Oklahoma’s tornadoes and storms we usually get this time of year seem to be hammering Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and points to the Northeast….. It seems the jet [...]
I’m sure at least some of you are familiar with this classic song by “Harry Nilsson”….. If you were in Oklahoma yesterday, you would have been trying to do just the opposite – Jump Out Of The FIRE!…… We had wildfires all the way from the Texas border to the Kansas border!….. One of the [...]
As I am sure everyone is aware of, yesterday was Ground Hog Day……. Well, I decided to see what our local version of the ground hog – the prairie dog – actually did on February 2nd….. So-o-o, I staked-out the abode of one of our local P-dogs…. Let’s call him Bob…… Early yesterday morning, Bob [...]
We are having quite the winter experience here in Seattle. Snow, ice, and cold, cold temps. It’s been particularly challenging to drive in certain areas. Personally I have not even cranked the engine in a week. I’ve been riding the bus and walking to get around when I need to. Others haven’t fared as well. [...]
What the heck is up with the Weather?….. Has someone came up with a weather control device and attacking the World, or, have we just finally ruined our Planet?….. There were 170 tornadoes in the U.S. just yesterday alone…… We only have two seasons in Oklahoma now – Winter and Summer….. We’re 15-20 degrees warmer [...]
…. and I’m way behind….. I don’t know if I can get away with blaming the weather, but, I’ll give it a shot….. Not only was I without power for a full week, two days after OG&E replaced the downed lines and had everything up and running, I had power spikes and loss of power [...]
Back to the above ground electric lines….. Here, in Oklahoma, they are on the ground…. Over 600,000 customers without power, which includes yours truly since Sunday night around 10 pm….. That’s households and businesses, not people…. You would need to multiply by 2 or 3 or so to get a ballpark figure on the number [...]
