It's all about the weather

We've had some terrible storms this morning, starting about 6:30. I didn't even bother to go to the Y, because the pool is closed any time there is lightning. The line raced through, with lots of lightning and thunder, and almost an inch of rain. After that, we had an hour or two of sunshine. Then the afternoon line started up, and left a line of destruction across Tennessee. Two deaths and multiple injuries resulted from a tornado near Murfreesboro (just east of Nashville). Most of the bad damage missed our immediate area, but there are lots of reports of hail and possible tornadoes around here. We got only about 0.1" rain from the afternoon storm. Margaret said that they had hail, but no damage. Even at work, though, they spent some time in an interior hallway.

Allan headed back to NYC. He's going to arrange for movers - two needed - one for his stuff and one from his piano. And the next trip will be his move back.

I fixed a really good recipe from the food section of the paper tonight. It was sort of a quiche/casserole, with eggs, ricotta, spinach, and feta cheese. I decided to add some chicken, too. It was really good.

Dan Miller died on Wednesday. He was the long-time anchor of the NBC affiliate station in Nashville (WSM-TV), and was really a great part of the community. He was a native of Augusta, and was there with friends for some practice rounds of The Masters. He was showing one of his friends various places in town where he grew up. He complained of shortness of breath and weakness, then fell to the ground. CPR and the EMTs were unable to resuscitate him, and he was gone. Near his childhood home, watching the tournament that he loved. He'll be missed.
