Severe storms in the midwest today

[Roadtrip]

The storm blew through Cincinnati at Noon or there about. Wind was something really wicked. Sky black. Just overcase sky and raining (which we need) now. We didn't loose power here at work, but it looks like we did at home, I just have to get some and see if it's still out.

That's it for here. Maybe we might get a little more rain - which we still desperately need to top up the reservoirs, ponds and streams, even though it's too late for the crops. There are some isolated reports of trees down, but nothing extensive.

Roadtrip--yeah, you guys need rain! My parents have been telling me that it looked like Texas down there!

We're done up here. Just a lot of rain and wind. There are some trees down, apparently. Still under a tornado watch until 4, though.

Yeaaa.. I tried to dig a hole in my yard (momentary motivation) as I wanted to move a shrub. Shovel hit dirt and I QUICKLY realized my mistake and said lets go riding instead. Earth is SOOOOO dry now it's stupid hard.

Thing about storms like this is all it does is wash away more top-soil. What we need is a week long soaking rain. Grass is dry and dead looking. Nothing by weeds growing.
