It was supposed to be an experimental thing here they started a season or two ago, so maybe that's the reason behind it there as well. Whatever the case, hunker down. |
OK that makes sense then... we know all to well what storms do and look like here but yet we still have morons that decide to go surf or stand on the beach to watch the waves. Sometimes you just can not cure stupid
