Jun. 23rd, 2003 08:33 amI'm on an automated weather-alerts mailing list, and whoever is responsible for composing the alert messages has a wonderfully idiosyncratic and endearing way with capitalization. From a message just received:
"A frontal boundary extending across western Minnesota combined with a developing warm Front across northern iowa, Will Produce More thunderstorms this Afternoon, And Especially Tonight. Parts of central Minnesota received 3 to 6 inches of rain Overnight, And Additional Heavy rain could cause flooding. Across southern Minnesota, Thunderstorms With Heavy!
rain are Possible during the day, But A More organized system is expected to develop later this evening over southwest Minnesota and then move across much of southern Minnesota through Tuesday morning. Rainfall Amounts in the 3 to 5 inch range, Will Be Possible south of a line from near montevideo to the twin cities."
I especially like Heavy!rain. In keeping with such fine fannish locutions as Evil!Willow and I-Suck!Ray.
