Wow! What a lot has happened in the past three days. Monday, rain, rain, rain. Students were let out of school early because of the rain and flood possibilities. When I drove home the water was running over the highway and was truly scary. I didn't fear for my life, but was afraid of getting pushed off the road into the ditch. All this after hearing about the horrific tornado in Joplin. How awful for all those people.
Then Tuesday, there was a lot of talk of upcoming tornadoes. I sat up late watching to be sure we would be safe. We had a tornado warning, but the bad weather went north and south of us. We were really relieved, only to find out today that Mike's cousin and and his wife's house was blown away. Thank God they were warned and were able to get into a room in their house that escaped damage. This was their dream retirement home that they designed and built themselves. The good news was that they were fine and their RV was left in good enough shape that they can live in it.
Tonight we had a power outage caused by a blown transformer by the highway. Not much compared to the other situations.
All of my problems are so minor compared with the losses caused by tornadoes. I am so ready for all this bad weather to end. I need to realize how fortunate I am.
Here's to hoping for much better weather in the near future.
