Morning Report

From listening to the portable radio and one phone call from St Louis, I think we came out better than the city. We lost power about 10pm and it is back on now. One thing about the country, when you have no power, you have no water. So just got out of the shower, just wish I could get a nap. There was an inch of rain with the storm, but it was the wind that got our attention last night. I drove down to the bridge to see if the road was open. It was, but littered with leaves and twigs. One of the white pines at the entrance to the Crazy S ranch across from Riversedge was smouldering from a hot wire in the tree. So after two nights of strong storms in Lesterville I hope we have a quiet and cool night.
