Re: Ike

Drove home from the Master Gardener Conference in the Chicago suburb of Lombard on Saturday, the 13th. Very stressful with the inevitable highway construction, and rain coming down in sheets. got home, only to head off with DH to the Rams game in St Louis, where we got remnants of Ike on Sunday. Fortunately, he was a fast mover, out of the area by afternoon. The week ahead looks good. Excellent, because one of the nurseries we toured in the Chicago area offered us anything we bought at wholesale.... 60.5% off! I came home with an American Hazelnut, priced around $50.00, for a bit over $18.00!

Ithink it is going to cause more wide spread damage instead of intenser (is

In any case, my heart goes out to those effected.
BTW, they are predicting 4 inches of rain here due to Ike by Sunday... amazing it will still have that much moisture left by the time it gets to northern 
Illinois....

Just checked the Southern Mississippi Valley Sector radar. The eye,
which is huge, is right off Galveston. Never saw one with an eye this
big before--don't know what that portends, either, but it surely is
large.
