Weblog Has New Look!; Guardian Angel Saves Life; Ice Houses; NWS Clears Up Tornado Myths; NC Seeing More Storms; Stowstorm Skirts NE; Mountain In UK First Covered By 24-Hour Cam; Teen Finds He Was Abducted; O’Brien Apologizes To Canadians

I’m glad I did as it has a much better look and many more features, IMHO. I hope you find the new version an improvement as well. If you’d like, feel free to leave a comment…
