wow...

I had heard there was a tornado in Edinburgh, about 20 minutes from my house, but it hadn't really registered what that meant until I saw this photo on a "week in pictures" slideshow from msnbc. No one was killed, the caption said, but the storm caused about $20 million in damage. And now I hear that both US 31 and I-65 are closed around Columbus because of flooding.
It's a scary thing to know that such major destruction has been going on almost in my backyard, while I'm a thousand miles away and unable to do anything. I mean, I really couldn't do much if I was there, but I feel kind of guilty being away while the rest of my family was probably sitting in the basement waiting for the tornado sirens to stop. At least, I guess, at least I don't have my dog to worry about anymore.
Well, Columbus-ites, I'm praying for you.
Be safe.
