I'm here! We're just fine. We had a lot of wind and rain but not too much damage here, just a few trees down. The tornados missed us but we got over 8 inches of rain in a very short time so the main problem is flooding in some areas. There's so many creeks and rivers here that flash floods are a big problem in some places. It's not so bad in our little town and it's certainly not as bad as last years floods that were on May 1st, almost exactly one year ago.
I was going to post last night but I was absolutely exhausted! My son finally had surgery yesterday to repair the hernia that he's been walking around with for almost FIVE YEARS and he'll be staying here for a few days while he heals up. I couldn't sleep at all Wednesday night, then we had to leave at 5:00 a.m. to get to the hospital at 7:00 a.m. for "short stay" surgery. They do it through three tiny little incisions and go in there and put some kind of patch on it. We were on our way home before 2:00 p.m. He's grouchy and sore but he's doing fine and will spend three or four days in my recliner commandeering MY remote control and being waited on hand and foot. But after being up all night, doing all that driving, and then spending the whole day sitting around in a hospital waiting room, I was so tired, I couldn't see straight. But we were very lucky here compared to other areas where there is so much distruction. Sorry if I worried anyone ... we're fine.
I'm just so glad that his surgery was yesterday and not the day before - we would have had to be driving all that way in those storms!
