WARNING!!!-an URGENT MESSAGE for all in the midwest states.............

[boomers dad]

............There is a MAJOR STORM brewing out in the West........They say on Good Morning America this morning(Tuesday) that this storm will pack the punch of a low-grade hurricane- up to 70 MPH wind gusts;severe storms,maybe even tornados...........They also said its bearing down on Chicago as I write this,right in the middle of rush hour.They're calling it the worst for this area in the past 70 years,it sounds like one of them wicked things that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald ore freighter up in Lake Superior on 11/10/1975.Its been said that on the night the Fitz went down,they were fighting 35-50 foot waves on Lake Superior;and that the waves were so high,they were washing across the paved road leading to the White Fish Point lifesaving station-(HEY MIKE-WE BOTH KNOW how far that paved road is from the beach,dont we???) Anybody thats been around the Great Lakes has seen their moods,especially Lake Superior-Ive seen her dead calm and as soothing as a fish pond,and when she gets an attitude,and kicks up them monstrous waves that sink almost1000' freighters like they were toys-SOBERING............

Winter is coming or is here, especially for the Northwest, North and South Dakota, IL and Michigan! Get your long-woolies out as ya just might need them before long! May God Bless those in the storm and snow areas from the travelers being caught out in the blizzards or in freezing weather! AMen! Early for this year and many might not be aware of how dangerous it could be! Ma Betty
