Tornadoes

[helwen]

Well, that was an interesting day, yesterday. The valley got the brunt of the damage. I think we were lucky to have only four human fatalities overall. Of course, our tornadoes were a lot smaller than the ones down south, but had they come earlier in the day, things could have been different. Lot of property damage and a LOT of trees gone, including some venerable ones in Springfield.

Some 26,000 folks in Springfield will likely be without power for a few days.

As far as we can tell, all Bergenthalers are accounted for and are themselves fine. BKDelong will be coming to help out his mom and brother.

Here at the farm we got off quite lightly, although I expect some of that might be owing to the diligence with which the tree folks have been taking down branches overhanging/near power lines over the past several months... only gardening I did was water some new plants in their pots and get them onto the porch for protection from the wind. Today I should be able to get some things into the ground.
