Flag Counter

Stumbled across another nifty service similar to Feedjit; this one is Flag Counter, a free "sticky" counter that's easily customized to one's site or blog.

Here's an example of what it looks like:



The above screenshot is from the Flag Counter site.

From the website:

Add our free counter to any website, it's just a simple image. Every time someone from a new country visits your site, a new flag will be added to your counter. The total number of visitors from each country will be shown next to the flag, and clicking the counter image will reveal all sorts of useful information!

I put it at the very bottom of this "page" and have it set up for all flags and eight columns.

I know, I know...I'm overly optimistic. I'm lucky to get any visitors from other countries at all, except those with gay dwarf and sister's feet fetishes.

EDIT/UPDATE

The counter has been up for one week and we've had 308 visitors from 41 countries with 700 visits.

Friday's Storm

Photos at NWS website from two Swiss storm chasers.

Damage surveys determined that 3 of these tornadoes were EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, while 1 tornado was an EF1, and the strongest tornado was rated as an EF2.

Dodged a Bullet

Had tornado sightings earlier, some large hail. The sirens wailed and the power went off, only just now coming back on.

Pampa is the black dot on the screenshot; the storm is (thankfully) past.



I'll admit I was a bit scared, but my fright was tempered by my anger. What chaps my butt is that when the power went off, so did the local radio station. The taxpayers (me 'n the rest of the good citizens of Pampa) paid a large amt. of money for an emergency generator for the station.
