| Extra Big - Blizzard buries Texas Date: February 25, 2013 01:46PM |
The Weather Channel has named the storm "Rocky." No other federal or private forecasters are using this name.
By early afternoon, 17 inches of snow covered Amarillo, Texas, where forecasters said up to 20 inches could fall, accompanied by wind gusts up to 65 mph. This made it Amarillo's second-greatest snowstorm on record, and the weather service reported that the city's all-time 24-hour snowfall record of 20.6 inches could be broken.

I have been in Dallas during a massive ice storm, on a business trip. It was not pretty.

TEXAS is like a whole other country.
The elevation of Amarillo is 3676 and it's on the "high Plains. The highest elevation in AR is 2753 and it's a mountain. (or is it gullies?)

It never got below 50 here in San Antonio, but we had some very strong winds detroy my aluminum carport! Spent the afternoon tearing and picking up peices! My son was helping and I asked "Do you feel like the Hulk?" He said "Hulk smash!"

Can be tough when dealing with storm damage, but it's always great when you find humor in a situation. Not always easy, but helpful.
Post Katrina, and I can't find the picture at the moment, a relative who lived in Chalmette sent a picture of a neighbor's house which had been washed off its foundation, and which sat in the middle of the street. Someone took a pair of knee-high striped socks, stuffed them, and put them under the corner of the house, a la "The Wizard of Oz".
