SRS 2.0

Okay, I admit I am weird. However, this week the Twin Cities Metro area has been pounded by two huge storms. The first storm did some minor damage to our home. This second storm has dumped hail, high winds, and a lot of lightning. I have yet to see what has happened to my home.

So why is technology so crucial? With my cell phone I was able to contact my parents, my husband, and still communicate with work letting them know that I was stranded at a friends house while these storms passed. I was able also to see what NOAA’s radar showed- because I have learned to pinpoint the location of her place, my parents house, and my house. 20 years ago, one had to rely on TV and light sleeping to get information about a storm late at night. I am just amazed at how far we have come and how much safer of a society we are.
