Greetings, gang.
Sunny, cool, and humid this morning. Right now it's 54 with 100% humidity. High for today (and the rest of the week) should be around 80. Looks to be a very nice week weather-wise.
Saturday was spent house cleaning and on Sunday I cleaned off my desk. Filed papers, filled out forms, etc. Yesterday I went to Des Moines to get a spare tire for my car, which now has over 5000 miles in less than 3 months. Today I need to mow the yard. As I started typing this I got a call from my sister-in-law. I'll be driving back to Des Moines on Thursday. They are passing through on their way to Omaha so I'll meet them for lunch.
According to my daughter-in-law's post on the book of faces as of last night they have had 27 inches of rain with a prediction of 8-10 more inches. Her neighborhood is still dry. My niece is staying with friends until their house is built. The water came up the driveway but did not get into the house. My nephew and his family moved all their furniture to the second floor and as they finished the water started to recede so it looks like they are ok also. Daughter's sister-in-law's house in Rockport was undamaged but many neighbors suffered moderate to sever damage.
Continuing prayers for those who are in the path of the storm as it moves east.
All stay safe.
Tom
