Getting Windy...

[patchz]

Anyone have a really big kite I can borrow? It's getting rather windy here.

Good morning Larry...

Looks like you need an umbrella as I see some severe thunderstorms as well...

The flooding I see, would that be along the Mississippi River?

Stay in bed and pull covers over head...Larry...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thanks Doug.

Actually, it never got that bad here. It got pretty windy for a little while before the storm front arrived, then just a little rain. It passed rather quietly. Folks a good bit further north did not have it so lucky.

My sister in law in Tuscaloosa called to let me hear the tornado sirens going off.  I always find them so spooky.  Can't wait to move there next year.   8-)

I'd loan you my old Raven 225 hang glider, but it's probably too far gone as a feast for moths...

If the 225 stands for maximum pounds it can lift, we'd never get off the ground anyway.

That's a bit questionable here... we'd remain at a standstill... tethered to the nearest tree... until there was a substantial wind (I began my major interest in aircraft with The Hurricane Story).

[color=#000000]It was a single surface two seat training kite,

with about a seven to one glide ratio which compared to today's kites

it dropped like a rock, high tech for the early 80's!

225 lbs was indeed the max weight and I weighed a paltry
little 220 lbs back then. Oh to be young and slim again

You forget that I am a Marine...everytime I move I create an EF-5 tornado!

No, I haven't forgotten that you're part of the Military Armed Retinue In Navy Equiped Ships...

but, in that watery relationship to a twister, wouldn't you more like be spouting off?
