Brian Tex..good idea about the maps to keep track of storms.
when they do that " a line from the NW corner of bla-bla
county to a line running SE of yack-yack county" i'm lost..
and if you have seen any of my other posts you will see i'm
a loyal fan of the Coleman gas lamp..finding someone to give
you a good run thru will help if you have never used one..
know any Boy Scouts??..a Coleman will give you all the
light you need for any storm related project..
Big Blue Tarps--get a few and a 100 feet of nylon rope...
