How is the weather where you live? - Page 789

Hoping & praying for more rain today!

I hate to see anyone lose a house, especially if in most cases it can be avoided. The tree huggers hate to see a tree fallen and many of the houses rely on the trees for shade/cooling. The idiot politicians corrupted by the developers grant permission to build in areas that are not condusive to housing - that is the real issue!!!

I'd be doing some serious chainsaw work around my house if I lived there I think.

Sir Skully · 10-24-2007, 12:12 AM

Got rain and in need of much, much, more!

Some help is on it's way. The BC Govt dispatched a Mars water bomber that will leave this morning..

Chainsawing may help - but with 80MPH winds, the slightest ember is dangerous.

Doesn't look like much in comparison to the size of the problem, but I've watched these guys load up right in front of my house and we figured their turnaround was less than ten minutes.... ( It actually got boring after a few hours)

Down in Texas the weather is perfect right now. We're having clear blue skies, chilly in the morning and evenings, warm in the afternoon.

Sir Skully · 10-25-2007, 12:22 PM

Cool & cloudy!

It was great weather to watch the Space Shuttle launch from Kennedy Space Center.
