And remember, many of the drivers from 10th grade on are out there in cars of their own. Tolar and Lipan campuses aren't adding to the madness, as they are keeping their regular schedules. http://www.hcnews.com/shownews.asp?category=20&id=4451http://www.hcnews.com/shownews.asp?category=20&id=4451Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:43:36 CSTHigh northwest winds, sustained at 15-20 mph with occasional gusts in excess of 35 mph, humidity less than 30 percent and a high in the mid-60s has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Red Flag warning until 6 p.m. Friday.Please use the ashtray and take precautions with outdoor burning, forecasters recommend.
