Weather Warnings

N is down with the grandchildren and I've been running around town getting things done. Got the truck serviced and picked up a few things for the trailer. The city of Brandon is busy catching mosquitos to determine if any are the nile virus types. The problem is that the traps are catching so many they can't count them all and determine how many bad ones are in the trap. They will probably start spraying by air in the next couple of days.
Sitting here in the trailer with the weather radio warnings beeping on a regular basis. South Western Manitoba (where we are) is under a severe thunder storm watch which could bring 100 KPH winds, large hail ( my insurance company would just love a second hail damage claim two years in a row) an a tornado watch to the south of us. They also warn that "small" tornados could touch down in the Brandon area. I wonder what the hell a small tornado is? Oh well, got to take the good with the bad so I'll start to close the hatches and windows in a short while.
As a side note, I just saw on the news that they have 75 gravel trucks hauling material to fill the washout on the TCH at Maple Creek. They estimate that they could have part of the eastbound lane temporarily open by as "early" as Friday.
