Barry,

 BM> Most of the initial hits were for why and when they sirens sound and
 BM> that error a while back when the sirens sounded accidentally.

  I think in central Arkansas, selected folks near the sirens are
called, or they call the local 911 center, to advise if the siren
test worked properly (shut off after 30 seconds). The worst time
for a tornado warning would be when they test them (12 noon on
Wednesday). Except for the meteorologists, storm spotters, and
emergency personnel, no one else would know the difference.

 BM> I generally consider the weather forecasts from any source as an
 BM> educated guess -- the education level seems to vary!  They might get
 BM> more respect if they said "today's hig temperature wil be in the upper
 BM> 80's:" as opposed to "it will be 88ø".

  Considering there are at least 2 dozen forecast models that have to
be analyzed from 2 to 4 times a day.

 BM> So as far as I know all of the computers in regular use have been
 BM> updated and are connecting.  Yea! :)

  Between thunderstorms and erratic nature of Xfinity, I've been offline
more than online lately.

 BM> Yes, do switch most fans' direction.  Up here in the Computer Room I
 BM> tend to leave it as when reversed the breeze comes straight down on me
 BM> and tends to be a little uncomfortable.  Might have something to do
 BM> with the angled ceiling as the room is in the story-and-a-half portion
 BM> of the house.

  I need to get a portable fan..the pull cord on the ceiling fan in my
bedroom broke.

 BM> Still waiting on the gutters, etc.

  You'll find several in the bowling alley down the street. <G>

 BM> My credit union sent out an e-mail announcement the lobby is open,
 BM> practicing social distancing, etc., but I haven't needed to go yet so
 BM> haven't seen in practice.  I go to the headquarters site and they have
 BM> a huge lobby so we were practically practing social distancing before
 BM> anyway!

  Without a credit card, I don't worry about a credit union. I never
bothered to rebuild my credit after bankruptcy 11 years ago.
