Re: fireworks NOW flooding

Donna,
What do they say? "When it rains, it pours."
So sorry to hear you sustained yet more damage.  I woke to super high winds
about 1 am.  Went to get the 3 outside cats in. 2 were huddled on the front
porch but couldn't find Shimmy. But he was in his grill-bed in the Florida
room, nice and dry when I got up again at 6:45.

You're right about these being the worst.  The wind and rain in the trees
looked like something out of a hurricane.  Fortunately, I didn't have
anything left to stake; I'd managed to secure everything either before the
storms or after some of them.  I just had a new roof put on - it better NOT
be going anywhere!

Bonnie Morgan had some damage in Ohio in her neighborhood from the earlier
storms.  I hope she'll check in with us soon on this one.  How about Cathy,
Ceres , Melody?

Pam wrote, "What is up w/ these storms y'all have been having?"  I'm no
meteorologist, but it has something to do with the southern hot air moving
north and crashing in to the northern cold air.  I for one have had enough.
I'm sure Donna has too.

Kitty
