Default No Hurricane problems for Funfest!

I replied to another thread but wanted to post this one with a descriptive title.

This is what I got from Mid America Motorworks:

"We had 8 smaller tents get blown away & destroyed Sunday afternoon, but they have already been replaced. We only got about 2 inches of rain - no problem with dust this year! Tell everyone that everything is fine in Effingham & beautiful weather is forecast! "

So come all and enjoy!

-Rick

The weather man is saying Low 80's for the high and mid 60's for evening low. But who knows. The weather man is the only job I know that he can be wrong all the time or post a 50-50 chance of rain or sun or snow and still get paid every week, right or wrong. Go figure. That is the kind of job we all need.

I was about 10 miles west of Effingham on Sunday afternoon on I-70 when the wind switched from the east to the north.

Holy cr**.

A car carrier (with a black '98 Coupe was on board) was all of a sudden extremely close to me while I was passing it. I can't tell you the condition of the coupe, I only saw the smooth curve of the nose as it was in the middle of the carrier and that's it.

After that tree limbs and debris flying through the air.

and I was all over the road.
