    Hotter than hadies here in central MO, not looking forward to temps going over 110, ouch.
    But the people I feel for are the 10,000 BMW riders who are in town this week for their annual Rally, most of them are using tents for their housing.
    I loaded up the MINI with four cases of water on ice last night and and made a pass through the fairgrounds, all the water was gone in 10 minutes.

    102 yesterday and looks like its on it's way today again! Something happened yesterday at one of the American Water pumping station so the whole county is on severe water restriction, we have to boil all water and after washing dishes rinse in bleach n water! Needless to say all outdoor water is restricted until further notice! Can I was the MINI in the garage??

    Ha!

    Fortunately things there have improved today, and by the time we get there on Monday night I think it will mostly be over, I hope so for all of C Springs sake.....

    Had some nasty winds blow through like a freight train. Took down one of our huge 50 foot pine trees. My chain saw wont handle it. Guess I need to call the big boys in to do their stuff.... Fortunately the wind was blowing away from the house, so no damage to the dwelling.

    Landed right across the driveway.

    Guys with much bigger and sharper tools are on it. Their tools are making the big noise..... Sawdust and branches are a flying.

    We were lucky... Couple of streets over from us.... Looks like war....

    Wow..I was lucky. Running around town today there are lot of places that don't have power. Some major roads with no traffic lights and a heck of lot of people that have no darn clue with how to deal with no traffic lights, flashing red or flashing yellow.

    For all those that don't have a clue and happen to stumble across Motoring Alliance cause you felt guilty that you have no darn idea on how to deal with no traffic lights, flashing red or flashing yellow it works like so...

    No traffic lights - Treat as a 4 way stop. Everyone goes in round robin.
    Flashing red - Treat as stop sign.
    Flashing yellow - Slow down, be aware, proceed. DO NOT come to screeching stop in the middle of the damn intersection.

    Friday's storm that did all this damage from Ohio to Virginia is known as a Super Derecho.

    Had never heard of such a storm type before.
