It is raining and storming again. We have had rain, wind, hail, thunder and lightening almost every day and night this week. I now know how LaDawn felt when they were getting rain every day. The computers were down because of a power outage overnight. First thing this morning was to get the system up and running. Outside a dumpster from the Methodist Church south of Courtesy Ford was blown into 3 pickups on our lot. I didn't go out and look, but the salesmen said it looks like the trucks ran into something going about 50 mph, which was about the wind speed last night. I wonder who is going to be liable for the damage. The church, the owner of the dumpsters or our business. We are not in a flood area and hope the flood control never gets full. I don't know for sure when it was built, but a long time ago Norfolk did have a real bad flood. I do remember when the Logan would flood between Lyons and Bancroft and west of Oakland. The Logan has been dredged out and dirt built up in these areas to stop the flooding. This weather is really unusual for August. We think of August as being hot and dry. This year it is HOT AND HUMID.
There has been a lot of fog in the mornings. If the ninety days from fog - there will be moisture holds true - November will be either real wet or real snowy. Monday evening we did get done golfing before the storm hit. Looks like we may have another postponement tonight.

I'm not over the hill. I'm on the back nine.

We had golf ball size hail on the north side of Lincoln, Monday night. Fortunately, we only had pea- to marble-size hail. Winds at the Lincoln airport were clocked at 80 mph. I guess Omaha got hit pretty bad by the same storm, but Shirley would know more about that than I would.

Iguess the high winds hit hardest in North O. We were eating at Perkins on 72nd with Cass & Alex when the storm hit. It sure got dark quick and Alex had a very worried look. We kept talking and eating and trying to get his mind off it, then sirens went off and we saw a lot of stuff blowing around outside. All okay around us luckily.
