So we had a Tornado Today
I'm sitting here in the dark posting from my iPhone.
We are fine. No damage to home or greenhouse. Just a power outage. 7 houses in our neighborhood were leveled by trees uprooted and falling.
It sucked several windows off the highrise next door to the one where I work. We spent an hour in the stairwell feeling the building flex and sway. THAT was fun, NOT!
Anyhow got the candles going and the propane spare heating the greenhouse. All safe and sound.  |

Still no power but when I drove to work today I saw the damage to the neighborhood. It is pretty extensive.
There are still about 20,000 folks w/o power today.
