Default OSH storm pix

Here are some pictures of a typical Oshkosh storm, taken by me as it
rolled over the North 40 last month...

and, right before it hit:

For those who are coming next year -- this is why we say "BRING A GOOD
TENT"...

Looks like the average summer afternoon here in the Tampa Bay area.

Jay means that it ONLY happens during OSH. We haven't had any rain since.

Yes, the midwest goes three days without rain and they think they're in
a drought.

7" of rain since May 1. normal is about 17-20". Weirdest thing is how the
storms go around us to both the north and the south.

Still ain't a drought. Do that for 5 years then maybe.

Nope, it's not a drought. And I ain't complainin'. We have solutions for a
drought, but I haven't seen anybody that can stop a flood.

Yep. I remember it well. But it was a lot cheaper to pump water in '88.

Wow, very dramatic. I have to admit that had I been there in a tent, I
would have had some serious safety concerns during that storm's approach.
