On This Day

National Hanging Out Day! Not what I thought today was at all. I thought it was a form of hanging out with friends or skipping school to hang out. NOPE! Today is to encourage people to conserve energy and hang out clothes. I love hanging out clothes. Not many places have clotheslines anymore.

National Oklahoma City Bombing Commemoration Day! The name speaks for itself. In 1995, the bombing destroyed 1/3 of the building and killed 168 people, injuring over 680 others. This was an act of domestic terrorist car bombing. It happened downtown Oklahoma City at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

National Garlic Day! Garlic is a herb or vegetable, upon which garlic is actually the bulb. It is packed with potassium, magnesium, maganese, zinc, selenium, arotene beta, zea-xanthin, and Vitamin C. It is used in many dishes for flavoring. Today, try something with garlic and keep the vampires away!

National Amaretto Day! Amaretto is a sweet, almond-flavored, Italian liqueur. It is used to flavor alcoholic beverages and sometimes coffee. As you relax for the weekend, have a drink to relax!

Word of the Day: Cogwheel is a toothed wheel that engages another toothed mechanism in order to change the speed or direction of transmitted motion. Also, referred to as a gear.

Weather Outlook

Please everyone stay weather aware today. Looks like the major threat will be south of us, but storms can always change. Let us check our local WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:

Strong to severe storms likely into Thursday afternoon, evening. TODAY Partly to mostly cloudy skies are likely on Thursday morning with temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Through midday, clouds will increase and a few spotty showers are possible. But into the afternoon, this is when the potential for widespread showers and storms will increase. And this will come with a severe threat as well. On a scale from 1 to 5, the greatest risk will be a “Level 3” for those in the southern half of our area. For those across the northern half, the threat is at a “Level 2”. Still, we need to all pay close attention. As storms move in from the west, the potential for strong, damaging straight-line wind will be on the table along with a tornado threat. If enough fuel creeps into our southern counties, one of those tornadoes could be on the strong side. This threat should subside sometime between 8 and 10 p.m. Flash flooding is also a possibility across our area as rainfall totals will likely range between 1 and 3 inches. Some places could see up to 4 or 5 inches of rain in our heaviest, most persistent thunderstorms. Flash Flood Watches are in effect for all of North Mississippi until Midnight Thursday into Friday.

TONIGHT Scattered light to moderate showers will continue. And we will likely see this throughout your Friday as well. This will come with a northwest wind between 8 and 12 mph. So afternoon highs will likely be on the colder side, likely into the lower and mid-50s.

We are excited to announce that Link Centre has been selected as the site for this year’s Comcast Cares Day project. Comcast NBCUniversal employees volunteer in their communities year round, but one day a year they celebrate this commitment coast to coast through Comcast Cares Day, engaging about 100,000 employees, families, friends, and community partners to volunteer and improve more than 1,000 work sites.

At Link Centre, they will be clearing the courtyard for a garden and gathering area as well as doing other landscaping and beautification work. We would like to invite you to join our team on Saturday morning, May 4. The project kicks off at 8am and runs til noon. You can register on the Comcast volunteer site at https://www.comcastinthecommunity.com/Project/Detail?projectID=11916. T-shirt orders go in early, so if you sign up now, you can request a specific shirt size. Not available on May 4? We have work that can be done ahead of time. Register for the May 4 project and contact me to let us know when you are available and we will be happy to have your help before May 4. We’ll even hold a shirt for you. 🙂 You can even get community hours for your organization.

If you have any questions, please contact me or Jessica Gunter at Comcast (601-586-2136 or Jessica_Gunter@comcast.com).

On This Day

National Big Wind Day! In 1934, on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, three weather observers recorded the highest velocity natural wind on Earth at 231 mph. That is a really strong wind. It definitely would have blown me away.

National Licorice Day! This is a sweet, chew, aromatic black substance made by evaporation of root juice and used as a candy and medicine. I do not like licorice on any day. If you fancy it, devour on it for me today!

National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day! This is made with bread and one or more types of cheese. Usually cooked on a griddle or in a pan. I have seen so many ways to make this. I will stick with my mother’s recipe!

International Day of Human Space Flight! The United Nations General Assembly declared this day in 2011. It is celebrated annually as the beginning of the space era for mankind. It reaffirms the important contributions of space science and technology. The first human space flight was carried out on this day in 1961 by Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet citizen.

Word of the Day: Geomalism is the tendency of an organism to grow symmetrically in a lateral or horizontal plane.

Quote of the Day: Nobody takes a picture of something they want to forget. -Sy Parrish, One Hour Photo
