    I’m not one that’s going to road rage, but after witnessing a Lexus cut me off and others I really hope he wrecks but doesn’t hurt others.

    I had Zelda. I bought it full price over a year ago, it’s hours upon hours.

    Mario Party went on sale during Black Friday for $30 and I picked it up. I will say if you’ve got friends to play with don’t sweat the $20 difference though.

    Whats up guys, got a quick question. Has anyone ever rented from a toyota dealer? We are getting planning a trip to Tacoma, Washington in March and I am wanting to rent a 4runner.

    mario party is fun no doubt, but the user interface before mini games was dumb downed for younger audience. The mini games are still good though. You’ll see what I mean.

    I watched some YouTube videos of it and I think I know what you mean. Not the same as old mario parties. That’s ok though Amy likes the mini games so we will waste time this weekend during the rain playing.

    Never rented from a dealer, but we rent from Hurtz in Texas for work and they have 4x4 4runners. I guess maybe give them a call is the best way to see.

    I would think your best bet would be enterprise or a car rental establishment. I have never known a dealership to rent cars (unless you count a lease as renting). Might be difficult to specify what you want exactly due to them usually putting you in a class of car vs. a specific type.

    edit: There are a few websites/apps where individuals rent their personal cars. Might try one of those if the person is close to you.

    Better idea of the timing on this storm system. The rain totals are friggin stupid high. Almost 6 inches by Thursday in Central Alabama. Should be dry for Church Sunday morning then rain chances return Sunday afternoon with a better than 60% chance of rain every day until Thursday.


    From AlabamaWX

    ONE MORE DRY DAY: Look for a high in the mid 60s across much of Alabama today with a mix of sun and clouds. Then, tonight, the sky becomes mostly cloudy as moist air surges northward from the Gulf of Mexico. Tomorrow will be a mostly cloudy and very mild day; the high will be close to 70 degrees; about 15 degrees above average for mid-January in Alabama. We will mention a chance of showers by afternoon… but rain becomes more likely tomorrow night.

    To the west, severe thunderstorms are likely tomorrow through parts of East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and much of Louisiana and Arkansas.

    [​IMG]

    SATURDAY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT: A dynamic weather system with strong wind fields will bring a good chance of severe thunderstorms to Alabama Saturday. The low level jet (about 5,000 feet off the ground) is forecast to be in the 50-80 knot range, making for very high storm relative helicity values (veering of the wind with attitude in relation to storm motion). SPC has defined an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for the southern two-thirds of the state, south of a line from Vernon to Birmingham to Talladega to Lafayette, with the standard “slight risk” (level 2/5) for the rest of the state up to the Tennessee state line.

    [​IMG]

    TIMING: The main window for severe storms over the western side of the state will come from 9:00 a.m. until 4 p.m… for the central counties the window is from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m… and for East Alabama 2:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. This will be a generally daytime event.

    THREATS: A line of storms will sweep through the state Saturday with potential for damaging winds and a few embedded tornadoes. Also, any discrete cells that form east of the line will be capable of producing a few tornadoes as well. Based on the forecast parameters, a few strong tornadoes (EF2 or higher) can’t be ruled out. Also, some hail is possible with the heavier thunderstorms. And, away from thunderstorms, pressure gradient winds will be fairly robust during the day Saturday; expect a south wind averaging 15-25 mph with higher gusts.

    RAIN: Rain amounts tomorrow night and Saturday should be around 2 inches for much of Alabama; some flooding issues are possible. We note seven day rain totals (valid through Thursday of next week) are in the 4-5 inch range over North Alabama, with 3-4 inches for the southern counties as more rain is likely next week.

    [​IMG]

    CALL TO ACTION: Everyone will need a good, reliable way of getting severe weather warnings Saturday if they are needed. Be sure WEA (“emergency alerts”) are enabled on your phone, and download the free ABC 33/40 weather app as well. Have a NOAA Weather Radio in your home and business. Never rely on an outdoor siren.

    Identify the safe place in your home…in a site built home, it is a small room on the lowest floor, near the center of the home, and away from windows. Be sure everybody in the family knows where that safe place is, and in that room you need helmets for everyone in your family. We also recommend having a portable air horn for everyone, as well as hard soled shoes. If you live in a mobile home, you cannot stay there if you are in a tornado warning polygon. Know the location of the nearest shelter or site built structure that is available.
