We don't have much to blog about since we are on this dedicated run and are just traveling around in circles, but here is an interesting article that our friend Roger sent us.

This text is from county emergency manager out in the western part of North
Dakota state after the storm.

Amusing...



WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from a Historic event ---
may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a
historic blizzard of up to 24" inches of snow and winds to 50 MPH that
broke trees in half, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks,
closed all roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of
thousands.


George Bush did not come....
FEMA staged nothing....
No one howled for the government...
No one even uttered an expletive on TV...
Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.....
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House....
No news anchors moved in.


We just melted snow for water, sent out caravans to pluck people out of
snow engulfed cars, fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or
Aladdin lamps and put on an extra layer of clothes.

Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this
early...we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.

Everybody is fine
