RE: Somebody stop me

Thanks for the warning.  I just checked the weather radar here and it looks
like the worst of it is going south of our little area.  Cincinnati looks
pretty scary on the radar.  I can, however, hear the thunder (in January!)
and the patter of rain on the sky window.    Here's hoping you fare well as
well, Donna!

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Even with this latest storm system they are predicting here? Calling for
twisters and all.... for a large mass of states.. so others need to watch it
as many of us will be effected.
