In our MLK weather forecast, Joe shared that there was a possibility for severe weather. With a stronger system and cold front, this did increase the thunderstorm and severe weather potential.

The highest chances for severe weather look to be Sunday late morning/early afternoon as a line of thunderstorms move across Central Florida. Be sure to keep an eye out and follow any warnings or directions from cast members.

Heavy downpours are possible Sunday, especially during any thunderstorms. The good news is that we should see improving conditions by late afternoon Sunday.

Now it seems that high chance of severe weather is turning into a tornado warning.

“just a windy day”- three thousand miles away. I imagine that is what is called ‘British humor’.

I had just finished training on the buses, and I went through 5 hurricanes in 2004. A lot of the co-ordinators, and driver's said I was the newbie, and since I was from Texas, I brought this Texas hurricane weather with me, I should go back to Texas and take it with me.

Why oh why is there always just a drama. I remember Hurricane Erma. It was just a windy day in the UK.
