rain, rain go away

It has been one rainy, stormy, nasty, tornadic Spring.  The ultimate was, of course, a trip to the basement of the building I was training in yesterday. Yep, the gal in the central part of the state didn't quite believe us when we said the sky was looking ugly and if the sirens started we were heading down those four flights of stairs for the safety of the basement. Not five minutes later, the sirens started and off we went. We stayed down there for a good 20 minutes before getting the all clear. Yuck!!

We are still under a severe weather watch and the flooding that may come as a result of all this water could be devastating. The small Missouri town where my mom is from was evacuated because the levee broke. Old Man River might crest in the 44' range which means major flooding, dangerous waterways and lots of damage.

Looking forward to Thursday and the sun!!
