12. Well, I live in the midst of the Manistee Natl Forest.

So severe weather is damned important to me. If I lose power, I lose everything. A tornado here would be devastating to people who are hard pressed as it is. And then there's the problem that it's 15 miles by road to the nearest town, and that's only about 10,000 people.

This storm system looks big enough to cause trouble in a huge area, though. An hour south is Grand Rapids, with about a million in the area.

Thanks for the kind response.

Oh wow, I had no idea. Maybe it should be the "weather alert" group. Brickbat May 2013 #8

I think that may not be a bad idea. zappaman May 2013 #10

We have a weather watchers forum. Not sure if it serves that exact purpose, SheilaT May 2013 #9
