Recent comment: Weather Team, I was at the Javs football game Saturday night and stayed in contact with Dave. I saw the lightning to the North of the stadium. Dave was right when he said it would be there in about 20 minutes and he said it would last about 15 minutes with heavy rain. I told the head football coach Bo Atterberry just before halftime was over so he would have heads up. It did just as Dave said and we got .32" in that 15 minutes. It is good to know that I have great people to turn to when necessary. Thanks a lot for all you guys do.
