Rob maybe you can explain this to me. Are the arrow heads indicative of wind direction with this product?

[Rob-TheStormChaser]

Actually the arrows just end the lines themselves....lol I dont know why they paint the arrowheads on there because at one time I thought the same thing!

[Amanzi]

Hi everyone,

I'm sitting here at my computer in West Palm Beach and watching lots of lightning a wind come my way right out my window. The severe thunderstorm warning says winds up to 60 mph!! Also a chance of golfball hail. It's actually not that often that a severe line of storms come right over us. Last time that happened this past summer, lightning killed the modem in BOTH my computers!
Any way, my 9 yr old daughter is scared I will get shocked if I'm on the computer, so to make her feel better I gotta shut her down for a bit. I'll check back later and let you know how it went through.

[Rob-TheStormChaser]

Take care rd...seems like at night is the worst possible time to have storms of this magnitude, but you cant stop Mother Nature! The good part is that they will pass quickly, but the bad part is the hail....you might get a good pounding. Keep an eye out and let us know how you made out.

[rainydaze]

Well, the storm is over and it actually weakend some before it got here. We had some hard rain and lots of lightning lighting up the sky, but we didn't really get the lightning on top of us. Definetly did not get hail. Although hail looks cool when it comes down, it isn't cool when it puts hundreds of dings on your car like what happened to me about 6 years ago. Luckily I only had a $500 deductible. It actually cost over 3,000. They actually had to replace my hood and trunk because of all the dings!
What's the moral of this story? Lightning is bad for
your computers and hail is bad for your cars LOL
Anyway, Peace out from WPB
