My electricity is trying to go out, so I'll make this quick. There is a tornado on the ground in Dallas, near Highland Park. It's heading east and the storm cell will reach Terrell, where I live, sometime around 10. I'll be updating my Twitter feed until I loose power. If you live in Dallas or east of Dallas, take cover now. Hopefully I'll be able to post later.EDIT 1: There was a tornado just outside of town, but I don't think it did much. The worst of the storm has now moved into Kaufman, where there is another developing tornado. There is another line of storms heading our way, but shouldn't be as severe. ...

And Thus the Backpedaling Begins
We've all been fooled! The Rapture did happen on Saturday. It was just...spirtual, as opposed to it phyisically happening. But never fear, the world will still end on October 21. Or so says Harold Camping, who is running damage control after his Doomsday profecy failed to materalize this past Saturday. Although, I wouldn't call so much as call it damage control as all he is doing is backpeadaling and making excuses. But, at least I get to use my picture again. And 'Oh hey', I'll get to use my Bruce pic again in October! Here is some of the news coverage he is getting now:>I ask this question again: Why is this guy not locked up somewhere? He either needs to be in a mental hospital or in jail for defrauding people out of their money. ...
Tornadoes Possible in Texas and Oklahoma Tomorrow
Another large wave of storms are on their way, and the Weather Service predicts another day of massive tornado outbreaks. Almost all of North Central Texas will be included...which means my neck of the woods. We have have been extremely lucky so far this season, being that we have had a few narrow misses. Hopefully there won't be any tornadoes, but it never hurts to be prepared.I advise anyone who lives in my area to make sure that you have weather radios handy, because most of the time they are the only warning you get. Also make sure you have a clear spot to hunker down in, preferably a closet, hallway, or bathtub that is away from windows and outside walls. Use whatever you can find to cover yourself. Blanks and pillows are good, but a mattress is best.If you are driving or caught outside, do not seek shelter under an overpass. The winds will get funneled through, making them even stronger. Trust me, I know from experience. There is nothing more frightening then having you ...
Noodling Passed in Texas
Yes, this 'super important' law has passed so that we Texans can now noodle for catfish. If your not familar with the term, noodling means fishing with your bare hands. You swim down to a catfish hole, stick your hand in, and wait for the fish to bite you. Once it's lached on to your hand, you pull it out and take it home. Still confused? Here's a video:Chuck Norris uses this meathod to catch sharks. The new noodle law states that you have to have a fishing lisence with a freshwater tag. I don't really see the big draw to it. I tried it once in Oklahoma and it isn't easy. All I got for my troubles was cut up fingers, which made paddling a kayak very annoying. Plus, flathead catfish are very aggresive. Doesn't our state lawmakers have more import legislation to be working on? Like state budget issues or keeping the State Parks open? I'd rather see them tackle our issues with the border than play around with fishing. ...
Doomsday: IT’S A TRAP!
Hooray! I'm finally able to get a Star Wars reference on here. At least this one is better than the Family Guy ones I've been using lately. Anyway, so much for the Doomsday/Rapture prophecy...but we all knew that it was total crap anyway. Here's some news footage on the not-Apocoplyse:The guy, preacher Harold Camping, has done this before back in 1994. What's really interesting is the money trail. This guy has litterealy made millions off of gulable people. Accoring to one report, his radio ministry has raised well over $100 million in the past seven years. Plus, the donations have been flying in since his Doomsday announcement. So, in other words, he's a 89 year old can-artist. Lovely. Just lovely. Why hasn't anyone locked this guy up yet? ...
Doomsday is Tommorrow? Oh Noes…
'Oh nooooo....'There's been all this talk about Doomsday being tomorrow. Some preacher said that the first part, the Rapture, will take place at 6 p.m. After that, there will be a series of massive earthquates lasting until October, when the world will end. I get that the guy a bit total wack job, but what I don't get is why there is so much media attention about it. I just typed it into Google and there's over a thousand stories about it, from just the last day or so. It's also tacked into a ton of other news reports, including the tragic news about 'Macho Man' Randy Savage (who I grew up watching) and the bizzar Zombie Apocolypse thing put out by the CDC. It even has a wiki page.Although now, as I'm typing this, a new report came doing saying that it's all going to start tonight. And just in time for the 11 o'clock news! Great, so now I'm confused. Which is it? I would like to know if I'll get to at least watch Sancuary tonight before everyting is bathed in the 'Fires of ...
