All Clear

To one not accustomed to life in Tornado Ally yesterday was somewhat
stressful. Last evening a tornado touched down just 2 miles north-west
of town. At one point someone came around to inform us as to where the
tornado shelter is located--the office basement. However the air raid
sirens never did begin their undulating wail. That is not to say that we
didn't have our share of gusting winds, thunder in the distance, and
spattering rain. No hale though. A wind warning remains in effect for
the rest of the day. Hopefully the winds ease for my drive on Monday. At
present I'm getting ready to be off to church.
