Bad storms

We are under a tornado watch, and it looks like we could be in for a bad storm this time. It is coming at us in waves and each one seems to get stronger and stronger. Last year we had some early storms that were very strong. I guess March is going out like a lion this year, but it came in like a lion so it should go out like a lamb. Oh well March is a lion this year on both ends. Now we are under a warning for Davidson County so I guess I better go get under cover.

Football

My High School that I attended in Oklahoma I just found out is playing in the state finals in football. The last time I talked to my sister the team was in turmoil and did not look very good and then today she springs on me that the team is in the state finals, I was flabbergasted. I am very proud of the football team at Lavern Oklahoma and I would really like to be there to cheer them on but it will just have to be in spirit, Nashville is a very long ways to travel for a football game.

Earthquake

Today a huge earthquake hit right outside of downtown Los Angles, it was reported as a 5.8 magnitude earthquake, which is not a huge one but is pretty big. They are reporting no damage and no injuries which I can not believe, there is no way some property was damaged and a big earthquake this close throws everyone back into a panic. So many people live in Los Angles a big earthquake at rush hour would be devastating and is something we do not want to see any time soon.

Tomato’s cleared

Tomato has been cleared of the chargers of making several hundred people sick in the last month or so, and the finger has been pointed at the jalapeno pepper. I knew the tomato would be cleared he is one of the life bloods in the Italian family, with out tomato’s an Italian would starve to death. The nasty little pepper is something we can live without, although I do like Spanish food from time to time. I will have to wait till the all clear is given before I have Spanish food again, I can make it on spaghetti if I have to.

I-40 closed

Interstate 40 East of Nashville has been closed for almost the whole weekend after a tanker truck with toxic cargo overturned near Cookeville. This is one weekend I am glad I had no plans to travel east of here. They finally got the interstate open this morning after almost 40 hours. They evacuated a two mile circle around the accident site due to the volatile nature of the poison they were hauling. Kinda makes you wonder what the stuff was and where they were taking it to dump. No sane state would allow this stuff to be dumped in their ground or and dump.
