Jane, how did you make out with all the weather? I'm east of tornado alley, but the weather people cut in 3 minutes from the end of a very good hockey game with my favorite team/favorite player (NY Rangers, Jagr)...talking about a rotation center a few km west. It was a severe thunderstorm with warnings, but was not severe at our house. I went biking along the Missouri river yesterday and it was running high...not flooding, but high. It may go higher over next few days from storm runoff. So much for your worries about drought. Meanwhile, tornadoes near Miami, and hurricane force wind warning for offshore of Cape Hatteras. What does this all mean? Nothing, probably.
