Silly weatherman...

I just heard on the Weather Channel that hurricane Ophelia is going to cause tree and powerline damage. He said where there's more tree's there's going to be more damage. Who'd a thunk it?

Wow! Now there's some great reporting. It really explains why the ocean gets the least amount of damage! And they go to college to learn this stuff and report it to us?

I don't think he learned that part in college. He got that tidbit of info from his vast experience.

With so many folks looking to blame somebody for something, he's likely just trying to cover his butt.

Good, more trees on the ground, means free heat for us!
One word...Firewood. I just saw an ad in the local classified, "firewood, one cord for $180 dollars" The local splitters are going to gouge us cause of the oil crunch.
I hope everyone can pick up some free wood.
