Friday 8 May 2009

We awoke early to loud thunder. I checked the radar to see we were on the northern non-severe end of a derecho that was pummeling Joplin and Springfield. The storm by mid-morning had carved a path of destruction through Missouri and was attacking Illinois. In some instances, on radar, it looked like an inland hurricane. I took Suyen to woik after we et ravioli at YJ's. It has been a pleasant day. I took Tima on a walk and we went to IPAS to look over doo dads. I went back to YJ's, and tried unsucessfully to get videos out of my HDV camera.
