The storms of Monday night came too close for my comfort since Southaven was in the storm path. Terry walked into the bedroom about the time Molly called. He was telling me there was a bad storm where she was and she was telling me the sirens were going off and she was getting Tip and going to the toilet room. Their house was built for wireless Internet so she took the laptop w/ her so she could watch the radar. Kevin was traveling between Germantown & home in the middle of all this. Terry & I talked to Molly on the cell phone the whole time this was going on just to keep her company. It was a horrendous night and my heart goes out to those who are hurt, have lost loved ones or have lost their homes/businesses. Union University got a bad hit, but they will rebuild and go on. I saw a woman on CNN this morning who had no shoes and it was 33*. (Note to Terry: Thank you for making us all put our shoes beside the bed all these years.)

In the aftermath, there was a little comic relief. Tornado Monday & Super Tuesday are vying for air time on all the cable news programs. This morning as Terry & I watched a segment on the storm damage, he mentioned a now-infamous Mississippi lawyer who probably wanted to get things settled quickly so he could sue someone over the storms. I wondered aloud who he would sue this time. Terry responded that he’d probably sue God and win, but he would definitely lose it on appeal. (Terry has a dry sense of humor that catches most people by surprise.)

Katey & Andy closed on their new house yesterday and were able to keep it within the budget they’d set. Andy was in Memphis Monday evening during all the storm trouble, but made it home safe & sound.

Laurie & Pearce are doing fine, but she can’t get all her other babies home at one time. She’s ready to have them home and settled into a routine. L&D are fortunate to have his parents living near them; they are super about keeping the kids.
