Well, we are fine now, but we had a tornado come through just south and east of us. According to the reports it went just about right over my riding buddy Shirley’s house. I hope he’s ok because they’ve been reporting extensive damage in that area and some fatalities. I’m going to try to call him later. I don’t want to wake him up if they’re ok because we all had a rather sleepless night.

The weather radio went off about 3am with the warning so I got up and turned on the TV and was able to see that the worst was going to miss us before we lost the satellite signal due to the heavy rain. That’s the worst thing about satellite TV, sometimes when you need it the worst it’s not there. But it didn’t stay off for long so I sat up and watched it to see where else it was going to hit. I finally turned it off around 4 and went back to bed, but of course the alarm clock went off at 5, so my butt’s gonna be dragging at work today. All the schools in the county are closed because of downed power lines and trees. It’s still dark so I can’t really see anything outside yet but I’ll bet it’s pretty bad out there in places. I sure hope Shirley is ok.

I was just scanning for news to check on you and hadn’t been able to find any - they’re all talking about the election. I too hope Shirley is OK. Let us know what it looks like when it gets light. Sorry for your scary night.

Oh my Frog, sorry to hear about your night.

We have a dusting of snow this morning here, and cold and windy.

Becky
