Weatherchannel.com says 80% chance of thunderstorms ALL day and yet Accuweather is claiming partly cloudy for much of the morning with some possible thunderstorms a few times during the day.
What to do, what to do....

Once again (I think this happened once before a few months ago?) these events could've possibly still happened between the storms but I do also understand why E-town felt the need to call it.
It hasn't rained up this way since like 11am.

We can all second guess everyone and while a few short drizzles dried up almost immediately with the heat, we cannot blame RP for what they did. We would all be on here crucifiying them if we all went there and the skies opened up at 10.

Lose lose for them.

I went out to by some stuff for stock for Heather who is going back to school next week and in a tee shirt and shorts it was extrememly uncomfortable so on the bright side we were spared a sweat bath
