After a very long winter, spring and early summer of severe weather, I finally got to take my 1st vacation of the year. I took my family up to Ohio to help celebrate my father-in-law's 60th birthday. However, wouldn't you know it, while is was mostly quiet back here, in Ohio we had severe weather every day. There were 2 outside celebrations planned on back to back days, so I spent a good part of my vacation logging on to KTUL.COM to check out the latest computer models in order to let them know if they should plan on bringing the parties inside. While I was online, I was also keeping track of the weather back here (and the news).  I was supposed to be relaxing on vacation, but instead it was stressful for me and the family hoping for good weather. Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of good news for them regarding the forecast.

   The night of the first party, we brought it inside. However the night of the second and most important party which was the birthday party including family and friends we got lucky and the bad weather gave us a break. Yet, it was very windy and my mother-in-law was worried that the wind would blow everything around. So I ran back to the computer and figured the wind speeds for the rest of the night. I reassured her that the winds would die down just enough to have a pleasant party, and they did! Whew!! The party and the weather was a hit. In fact, I had the opportunity to tell some of the guests about Frank's WeatherCall and many of them signed up for it!

 Now I'm back home in Tulsa, what else is new? We have storms forecasted for the 4th of July! Maybe the bad weather is following me!
