A message from the webmaster:
I regret to say that I may have to shut down this website after eight years of service. For the last eight years I been paying from my pocket to keep this information up and running for all of my viewers. However, due to econmical reasons I am being forced to close this website. Unless someone steps up, and donates or sponsors this website , I will more that likely have to close it before the start of the 2008 Hurricane Season. The well has run dry folks, and I really enjoyed being here for you all these years, however, I have to think about my family, and making ends meet. I tried by opening my Generator and More Website but since I started that in 2006 I never sold a cent. I had to close that in January as well after putting many hours of my time to build it. I hope to hear from someone soon or this may be a so long from Ralph's Tropical Weather.
Please Give today, and help those in need! Those persons affected by the most recent devastating cyclone need our help, and the American Red Cross is one of those ways you can help!
