sorry snowman, pets are family members and it absolutely sucks when we lose them, lost my dog in november and have lost 5 cats throughout the years. but make no mistake 21 years for a cat is fantastic. sorry for your loss.
Definitely a threat to watch, but definitely a thread the needle event also. As of now to reach anything significant you would have to go 50-75 miles nw of the city to be noteworthy. Still several days away to iron that out.
