Chad,

 CJ> Daryl, I'm sorry to hear about your health issues and the difficulties
 CJ> you have encountered. It's great to hear that you have put in place
 CJ> many tools and features for your BBS users to access weather and ham
 CJ> radio information, and it's good to encourage folks to consult with
 CJ> their local National Weather Service Office or meteorological agency
 CJ> for the latest forecasts and data.

  Some folks check the forecast only once a week, and think it'll never
change. Around here, it changes more than you change your underwear...
although that may not apply to naturists. <G>

  My BBS is the longest running in central Arkansas, over 30 years online
now...and while there have been downtimes for upgrades, repairs, power or
internet outages, or when I was in the hospital, it has a storied history.
I have a bulletin online that tells of such...and it brings back memories,
when you see how much things have changed.

 CJ> I wish you all the best as you continue to manage your BBS, weather
 CJ> data, and ham radio check-ins, especially during the active part of
 CJ> your spring tornado season. Please feel free to reach out if you have
 CJ> any questions.

  They are worried this year could be very stormy, as the Gulf Of Mexico
Waters are unusually warm...and that could also mean a very bad hurricane
season. The hurricanes are usually much weaker by the time the remnants
get to Arkansas...but we still get flooding rain, high winds, and quite a
few tornadoes.

  Here, the worst time for a tornado warning would be when they normally
test the sirens...at 12 Noon local time on Wednesday. Except for National
Weather Service personnel, storm spotters, and emergency responders, no
one else would know the difference.
