Power came on yesterday night so we came back home today. No damage to speak of except all the spoiled bacon, sausage, butts, and brisket that I had in the freezer. The good news is that its covered by insurance and so I get to make more.
Plus I can't complain at all, family is safe and no damage. So many have lost everything they have including love ones.

So many have lost everything they have including love ones.

We might all oughtta say a prayer for those that weren't so lucky.
There's been so much devastation lately, here and around the world...
I was just trying to clear my mind of all the trouble we've had, and our family has had, and others have had...
So I could get on a plane at LAMBERT without freaking out...
Seeing all the wreckage there --- Nothing like Tuscaloosa --as far as "widespread", but scary as heck.
So, we took off, turned left (swung WAY WIDE aroung Evansville, IN) and finally (way late) landed in NOLA.
We're on the gound....  Weather ain't too bad...  All is good...
Next thing I hear---"Tommy ain't gonna be here".
THAT is what we were flying AROUND...
Checked some TV in the room --- Good Lord...
Whatta mess.

And now it's still raining... My hometown (Paducah, KY) has the flood gates up, and it's just more and more rain.
(KYNOLA lives there --- is at home right now)
Across the river from there, in Metropolis, IL, they're starting to flood, and it's starting to get really serious.

The folks in SE Missouri are gonna get flooded tonight...  At least they have warning.
But, it's gotta be tough to know your home is about to be CRAP -- even if you know it's coming.

Lordy... ALL Y'ALL TAKE CARE.
Where ever you are.
Whatta mess. 
Awrighten.
