Some excellent excitement on the natural disaster front- As you may have seen on the national news, Caruthersville was hit hard by a large tornado Sunday night. My trusty NOAA weather radio alerted me about 1/2 hour before it reached our area, so my family and I temporarily relocated to a friend's house in Arkansas. It turned out to be a great decision - houses within sight of ours were totally destroyed. With moderate damage to the house, your host has survived to write plenty more drivel here at D.R., so stay tuned!

In describing a tornado, I don't know that the words I would have chosen are "Excellent excitement."
:)
Perhaps that wasn't the best choice in wording... but you've no doubt become accustomed to that here, yes? The down side to all this is that life as a refugee isn't all that fun, but we have a place to stay while the power and water is out. Wait a minute! I can't call myself a refugee! We learned from Katrina the racist connotations of that word. No. I am temporarily displaced citizen. Yeah. That's better.
