No TV here.
We're under tornado watch here all day: announcement came over weather
radio about 5 minutes after I sent my post out.

On the drudgereport.com link, I saw the water running down the stairs in a
picture. Had to unplug the computer before I got to look at the cnn web
site.

We are usually catching the Atlanta weather, unless it is going too much to
the north, about 2 hours after it's there. So, we *might* get what is
hitting you in another hour or so. It's getting dark again here.

The peach tree is in bloom, as are the pears. The forsythia under my
bedroom windows is starting to bloom; it is on the north side so it is
usually late. Husband reports that the "wild onions" - actually garlic --
have very tender tops and those taste really good right now. He wants me to
incorporate some in salad later today. It's probably about time for
chickweed to show up. Yesterday, I noticed some violets blooming in the
pasture.

Anyway, it is warmer outside than inside, and perfect storm/tornado weather.
