I feel your pain, Melody..A few days ago, the Weather Channel said the Upper Midwest was on suicide watch because of the latest snow storm coming thru..Weather's getting better, but now they think the most severe weather will hit late Spring/Early Summer this year rather than Fall..I'm still looking for that perfect place..No snow, no tornadoes, no earthquakes or hurricanes..Not too hot, not too cold. Just call me Goldilocks..

DH came home last night and said that one of the guys who works for him has some pretty severe damage. Both houses across the street are gone. Only reason his is standing is because the guys building his addition actually saw the tornado coming and ran in and opened all the windows before they hunkered down. Even still, every window is cracked, 5 holes in the roof, all the siding needs to be replaced, etc. Wow.

It is wow the pictures amaze me everyday! Have you called the volunteer line? They said last night they still needed people to help cook,help with deliveries,that type of thing. How is the selling of your house going?

Didn't even realize they had a volunteer line. Brought a cold home with me from ATL and I'm not much good for anything this week.

House selling is moving along slowly. Trying to light a fire under the painter because we can't show until the interior paint is done. At least the pressure washing of the exterior is now in progress. I'm guessing that week after next it will go on. 2 weeks off schedule. Argh.

Just saw Maine on the news. Mother Nature is sure showing us her power lately.

The Mississippi crested Tues night, but we are expecting more rain tomorrow.

Take care everyone.

Thanks, Sandy and everyone for checking on the East Coast folks. The one that hit Carrsville jumped right over us, Thank the Good Lord!! We did not know that one had come down here and in Suffolk until my sister called to see if we were okay. It is really a miracle that no one was seriously hurt.

Renee, glad that you guys are okay. I saw where one had lit in your area.
