Hard to get good LES but spring cooling will never be denied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 19 hours ago, sbnwx85 said: I saw my first one up close and personal this weekend. It was enjoying the remains of a squirrel in the neighborhood. Those are some big boys. Yes they are. I came over a hill while driving last year and there were 6 digging into a small deer. My little Integra was surrounded by these giant birds leaping into the air in a panic. Thought I drove into Jurassic park for a minute. I've always been fascinated by them because of the way they fly and how big they are. They're one of the largest birds you'll encounter around these parts with wingspans of 5-7ft. Interestingly they won't bother with anything thats been dead longer than 48 hours. So if you see them eating something technically you could still eat it (with some definite high temp cooking lol). They can smell a freshly dead mouse under a leaf from a 1k feet up. I grew up in southern CA and when I was a kid we would lay down out in a field and not move and within a couple of minutes a couple of Western Vultures would cruise over. We we're convinced they were gonna come down and pick our bones like some old Spaghetti Western movie lol. They are an amazing bird and they are protected. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Several locations in the Texas Panhandle already have winds gusting over 70mph early this morning. One hell of a dust storm down in the southern Plains today, with lots of wildfire potential. Not in this sub, but shows the power of this incoming storm system.

Powerball Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Widespread Blowing Dust Advisories across OK/TX, as well as numerous wildfires & evacuation orders right now. Parts of Norman (home of the SPC) are under an evacuation order as well. I wouldn't be surprised if DFW gets added to the Blowing Dust Advisory as well, given Satellite trends.
