jeepwm69 7,628 Posted March 17, 2021 Heck it quit raining here a couple of hours ago, and is just cloudy now. Looks like 30-40% chance of rain late this afternoon, then clearing off. Looks like we have a tornado watch until 6PM. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted March 18, 2021 we escaped lastnight not much wind, no damage, no flooding, but a very interesting lightening show, thankfully no radio traffic due to these storms, i figured with the active lightening there would fire calls, but nope not a one, temps last night 60, temps have dropped to 50 degrees, and strange enough a couple days from now the forecast is for a chance of snow, and freezing temps ... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted March 19, 2021 i figured temps would drop, but i didnt think all the way to 35 last night, looks like a cold weekend, but thankfully no killing freeze yet. temps are just creeping up, now a high of 43, had a long talk with a friend of mine last night about storm damage that affected him, but that's not the issue, his homeowners insurance was canceled due to no payment, because he never got a bill, and had his contact number (cell phone number changed) so the damage which is not much (as he explained) is out of pocket i told him if that's the worst that happened with these storms be thankfull, many people had much more damage, those folks i feel really bad for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcsman 1,382 Posted March 20, 2021 Wilson, depending on what his deductible was on his insurance he may have to pay most of it anyhow. To keep the prices as low as possible many put the deductible at $1000. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted March 20, 2021 he was more upset about the laps of his insurance, but the cost from what he described was around $2500 plus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freedomflyer 1,886 Posted March 21, 2021 Made it home from our trip, don't think we had temps above 53 the whole time gone. We drove 2961 miles from the time we left and arrived home on the firdt day of spring to blustery 34 degrees. The things we saw were amazing and even though temps were cool had a great time. My wife is standing at the base of the one tree, pretty large old growth trees. O ft. at sea level to a 6870 ft. pass in Montana on the way home. Was great to go and as always time goes waaaaay too fast. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
