The Emergency system on the TV was just activated, this is the first time I've seen more than a test since I've been here.

Flooding imminent in Seward due to heavy rain.

This weather pattern is looking ugly I have a feeling we are in for a rough winter.

It is never going to stop raining. Power was flickering off at work all day today. Why can't it just be twenty degrees colder?
