We got through the severe weather where I am in Iowa OK. We didn't lose power and so far we don't have any real damage here to speak of. Family got through it too OK.
There's quite a bit of damage in other parts of Iowa. Floyd County was hit by a possible tornado yesterday. One person was killed in Benton County when high winds toppled their semi truck. As of 8:20am on 12/16 there are about 48,000 power outages reported.
Wishing I had a dollar for every time I burped on my back porch after dark and set off a neighbor's dog. The best part is that I'm sure everyone think it's my BF and not me, because it's surely not possible such a huge noise could come out of my body.
