Just read that the NWS has issued an alert, warning of clusters of larger
tornadoes, with Omaha as one of the potentially affected areas. Take care,
Mr. Reid, and I hope you left the vehicles readily accessible to the garage
for storage(again!).

p.s. Is it just my perception, or has Nebraska weather

Last night on my way home from work, I heard a tornado warning on the
radio for my town. Just great, thinks I, I'm gonna lose my new house
and my mother-in-law (whose been here since Penns and is leaving at
the end of July). Its a karma thing.
The light show was incredible last night. The funnel cloud jumped my
neighborhood and its accompanying super cell stalled about 25 miles
north east in Iowa spawning tons of tornados. We did get 2" hail.
Some areas got over 6" of rain.
Right now, there's a tornado warning due east of me by about 15
miles. The thunder and lightning is incredible. There's another
super cell building on the Kansas border (its 'cause them J-Hawks hate
Nebraska). It will move up here within an hour or two. Gonna be
another long night of floods. They may close the bridge over the
Platt river if it gets any higher and then my drive to work goes from
23 miles to 85 plus.
Got a question for you gardeners. Why is it that when you plant grass
seed and a storm comes, all the new grass is washed away leaving the
broadleaf weeds, such as my fine crop of cockle bur?
Dog lifted his leg to pee and got blown over by the wind. Sucks,
cause he fell over into the mud.
Oh, by the way, (and this may suprise some members of the studio
audience) the right arm is in a brace. Doc was really impressed with
the extreme case of tendonitis. Got it digging 180' feet of trench,
nailing up 180' of fence and filling the trench back in. Can't do a
damn thing with this stupid thing on. There goes my love life.
