Ok, that's it. I'm done whining about my furnace still running in the
middle of June to keep the house above 65 degrees 'cause it's so
freekin' cold here.

My daughter is locked in the cooler at work, her car may have severe
hail damage. *A tornado hit a boy scout camp. *4 dead, 30 plus
injured. *Tornado came down the highway towards my house and then
jogged north and hit Offutt AFB. *Multiple tornados, much damage,
probably more deaths. *I'm in the basement with my mother-in-law and
my animules. *Rough night. *Found a new beer, Firebrick. *Pretty
good. *Need more. *Please send some with other care packages like
boats.

This has been a terrible year for tornado and sever storms in the
mid-west. Stay safe Frank.

Thanks all. All is well, luckily no damage to the daughter's car.
Just a lot of trees down, power poles, power lines in the street.
Flooding is our big worry right now. We've got some moderate flooding
every where, but luckily, the state has used the exorbitant taxes to
do a VERY good job of rain water management. Add to that, we are in
rolling plains (not the pool table flat of Ohio) so we have some good
channelization. There is one idiot that built a house over the winter
at the bottom of a small valley. He had to fill in a 3 foot deep
gully before he could build (the builder even had his warning to the
home owner written down and signed by the owner). The water knocked
down the back wall of his house and flooded through his living room,
out the front door. He's whining that some one should have done
something. Oh, by the way, insurance won't pay 'cause its flood
damage. No one will listen to him except for the news spots about how
stupid he is.
