Ryder Cup update...
After 2 days of action, the US team leads the Europeans 9-7. The US only needs 5.5 points to claim the Ryder Cup. Live coverage will be on NBC at noon tomorrow...
Isolated showers are possible tomorrow, but temps will be comfortable around 80 to the lower 80s.
The rest of the week will be clear and dry with highs in the lower 80s.

The USA pride is alive...
I had the privilege to go to the Ryder Cup yesterday for the first day of competition. The atmosphere was amazing to say the least. My dad and I got to see all of the best golf players in the world. At the end of the day, all of the players and captains gathered around the final match on the course to support. We got to give high fives to Phil Michelson, Nick Faldo, Anthony Kim, and a number of other people on both teams.
The environment was great, but the best thing is that the US leads by 3 points right now, 5.5 to 2.5.
Among the celeberties, Michael Jordan was roaming the golf course, and so was George H.W. Bush.
I may get to go on the final day, Sunday, and it will be electric on Sunday!!!
Meanwhile, we have a chance of isolated showers today and tomorrow, but all next week will be clear with highs mainly in the lower to mid 80s.
GO USA!

15 minutes after my last post on Sunday, power went out for us and has never come back on. I am at a place with power and internet for this post. Above is a map of peak wind gusts, with 81mph the highest in Salem, IN, where I was for part of the storm.
I will post more after the power is back on...
Also, I think I am about to get a digital camera so I can use my own pics. :)

STORM ALERT: Sunday, September 14, 2008: 8am
Storm alert mode begins now...
Today's storm alert is for the remnants of Hurricane Ike heading towards our area. With temperatures in the middle to upper 80s, dewpoints near 70, and winds to 45mph, there will be plenty of instability for storms to develop in the heat of the afternoon as Ike approaches.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed the area in a 5% chance of tornadoes this afternoon and evening...which is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms. Also, a wind advisory is in affect from 10am today-8pm today. Winds are expected to gust to up to 45mph. Also, amounts of rain up to 1 inch are possible...
As the remnants of Ike interact with a cold front, storms will develop. With the rotation of Ike, some isolated tornadoes and wind damage are possible this afternoon...stay tuned for more during this storm alert...
