Frank
Got out 225 acres when my agronomist drove up to tell me of a nasty storm headed our way from Fargo. I got in 100 more when it was getting black to the west and the base. I called and asked where the rain was and it was at the base so i quit and headed back in. MANnnnnnI have never seen so much cloud to ground lightening in my life. I diverted north to go around it and the rain began flooding. Was debating landing and waiting it out, or going on 10 miles. Then I figured the only thing was the lightening and a hit on the ground would be just as bad as in the air so I kept going. Managed to get mostly around the storm but it sure raised hell nearby with winds up to 70mph and local flooding. Now its all blown by, blue skies and we're going back to work until dark. YeeeHawww Rocky Who is the guy who has the maintenance place over near the NG ramp with that old C54? sitting there...Tom...? He flew with us from time to time down in Delhi. Did you know the guy who crashed in Firebaugh with the turbine thrush back in Feb? John Shanahan? He was a close friend of mine and a good pilot. damned shame and he left a couple young daughters. |

Frank Who's Frank?????? Now its all blown by, blue skies and we're going back to work until dark. YeeeHawww Rocky Good thing you wern't sending a special message to the Missus. In my neck of the woods.... Alberta, the Southern part of the Province is having it's second go around with severe flooding and parts of numerous communities have had to be evacuated. Up in the Northern part where I live in Edmonton we have sunny skies today but also a slight possibility that parts of our city could be flooded because of the problems down South. Don't forget in our neck of the woods... the rivers run North. |
