I'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.

*giggle* for some reason this makes me think of the episode of Get Smart where Victor Buono was trying to send coded messages over the radio and Max was inadvertently sabotaging him with his out of synch Foley effects.

Aaaww, I loved that show. I wish I could actually remember any episodes. All I remember was I was in love with Maxwell Smart, I was jealous of 99, Kaos was bad, and I wanted a shoe phone too.
