Not enough to impress the brits.

Lake Erie will only be 7-10 footers.

The downside is that they will be 10 feet apart.

Gotta turn off the computer, (lost one the other day in an outage, toasted the harddrive), big storm warning just issued for us.

Turn off the computer Billy! For God's sake, you are posting right into the heart of a monster!

We had a tornado warning here about 45 minutes ago.

Tornado warnings here are wonderfull, when your house is 30 feet from the siren...its been a couple hours and my brain is still going whiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Looks like 20' Wellcraft water down here, 10 MPH wind today, 5-8 MPH tomorrow....:03:

8.9' was the largest actual wave measurement at the buoy offshore yesterday....
