We ended up with a thunder storm which was not severe. Some parts of New York received the very high winds. Once the trees come down on the power lines that is when the trouble starts.
I am hoping for a very nice weekend with a Sunday in the yard radio set up.
Happy Friday!

Severe Weather
Severe weather is on its way tonight for the NJ/NY area. Just finished securing all the lawn chairs and anything else that can fly away.
With all the bright red colors on the radar this storm does not look fun.
Hope everyone listens to the warnings and stays inside.

Vacation Time
Just returned from a very hot week at the Jersey shore with temps in the 90F + range. The refreshing ocean was in the seventies and very nice.
On the radio side I packed the FT-857D and a few ham sticks but with the family activities going on never had a chance to power up. I plan on making up for that this coming weekend.
I missed one heck of a fast moving storm Saturday that broke the heat wave. Check out the video of a girl jumping from the sky ride at Seaside Heights, NJ when the lighting started flying. I saw an interview with her on TV this morning and she was OK. The jump was 35 feet into the sand helped break the fall.
Surprised the ride operators did not get a storm warning.
The question is would you have jumped?

Ramsey Electronics Giveaway
Hey Kit Fans!
Be sure to enter the Ramsey Summer Nights Giveaway. I sound like the announcer in between innings at the local baseball game.
But these days anything for free is OK in my book, money is not growing on trees.

I bet King Kong even went inside for this one.
