Rain and basketball


What a wild weather day this has been in the Southeast! Another line of strong storms plowed through Atlanta today. And two sets of storms went through Sue's neighborhood. She said they had some hail during the first one, but I haven't heard about the second one. We had rain off and on all day, and had a welcome one inch of rain over the day. By evening, we had bright sunshine and blue skies.

Do you know about the "Space House" in Chattanooga? It was auctioned off today - an absolute auction - and sold for an incredibly low $135,000. Click here to see a picture.

The SEC men's basketball tournament definitely has not turned out as expected this year. After the tornado in Atlanta last night, which damaged the Georgia Dome, the last game of the day was postponed. The games were moved to GA Tech, and the postponed game was played at noon. Then the winner of that game had to play again at about 9 p.m. Tennessee lost to Arkansas by one point in the first of the semi-final games. Georgia had beaten Kentucky in the postponed game, and then, amazingly, in its second game of the day, beat Mississippi State to win the other spot in the final game on Sunday. The NCAA will announce the men's brackets Sunday night, and the women's brackets on Monday.

My cousin is starting treatment at MDAnderson Hospital in Houston. I will probably be going to Houston in about a week or so to help out. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Today's photo was taken on a March morning in Charleston, SC.
