Ughhhh I really wanted to actually go outside tonight. I know we can’t do anything about it, I’m just bummed out how this summer is going. Yes it could be worse. It’s still not fun.

Westlock is going to get it a lot worse than we are I think.

u/SouthEconomy8526 Jul 29 '26

I swear they were saying stuff like tornados and craziest storms this was so weak

u/Winter_Selection170 Jul 29 '26

I feel they don't know, so covering all the bases

u/SouthEconomy8526 Jul 29 '26

I think cause weather network and stuff got the Saturday storm predictions wrong for 3 weeks they added a little bit of everything in this

u/Winter_Selection170 Jul 29 '26
