Rain, Rain, Go Away

As I peer outside this morning the skies are once again threatening rain. We have had one rainstorm after another the past week or so. We had perhaps our most serious storm yesterday afternoon with severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings in the area. We didn't see any of that most severe weather, but we had plenty of wind and rain. Before church last night I went downstairs in the church basement to see if we were taking any water on. The water was just pouring down the stairwells that lead into the church. Thankfully we have strategically placed drains in all the appropriate places to catch the water. Our new preschool room got the worst of it, but even this was managable. Thankfully, our own basement is still dry (at least the last I checked!). I'll head down there now to make sure that such is still the case.

Tomorrow they are predicting sunshine. I'll believe it when I see it!

The same storm cell came to Michigan later in the day. At lunchtime in Saginaw yesterday the TV weatherman said, "The chance of a tornado today is less than 1%. That means nil." At 5:30 pm the TV weatherman reported the second tornado to touch down that evening in our area. Thankfully damages were minimal.
