Seriously? 48hrs of respite? Back in the 100s by the weekend, no rain in sight for the next ten days, launch night 16 days away. We will need it to rain for three days or have a toad choker the night before or the 2012 Launch Night is in the tank.

...I've been wishing for our rain to go your way, and the rest of the mid-West/west... No such happening though. Small storm today knocked power out for over 3 hours!
Many rockets, no time.
Same here. Heat is in the mid 90F, had a flood on the southside of Edmonton, I had hail the size of quarters from 3:00 AM to 5:30 AM.Originally Posted by SpaceAXEplorer

And we're on Tornado watch for Edmonton/Fort Saskatchewan/Sherwood Park.

L1 will have to wait until 2013. Oh well.......patience is a lost virtue any-ways...

Seems odd to have tornadoes that far North.
Although, when I first moved to Oslo, ( a litlle area just outside the city named -botch the spelling-Ramsas-pronounced rome-sos), there was a storm and everyone was starting to go outside to the neat rotaing cloud they had never seen before! My then girlfriend and her kids asked me if I knew what it was, to which I replied that if we weren't living in a concrete apartment complex, it was the sign to head for the basement! It did form a tornado which touched touched down about 1.5 kilometers away in,( botch my spelling again), Stovner. No one was hurt, but it ripped up some roofs. Only tornado in many many years! Of course I was jokingly blamed for having brought that kind of weather from America....

Oh no, we get quite a few, but since we're sparsely populated compared to the United States, most of them touch down where there is nothing but trees.

I love living in Fl. Don't like the weather? Wait ten minutes. Same weather every day...hot, muggy and still in the mornings, steaming hot and thunder storms most very afternoon. Launch time...8:00 to 10:30 every morning.

I hated living in FL. Moved back to NH in a hurry. WX stunk, wildfires stunk, wild animals stunk(pigs),there is more but I'll stop here.
