I was just thinking about you and how you were dealing with this. I heard you guys were getting a little break in the rain today which is good. It's supposed to start up again, isn't it? Not so good.

I have a bunch of family a little north of Mason City (Osage area to be exact) and quite a few in Des Moines and the Waterloo area. I haven't heard anything from them so I'm assuming they're doing alright. I do know that the Osage people had been getting nailed earlier this week with tornadoes and the lovely Cedar River got them pretty good earlier this week. I've been trying to keep up with the happenings up there by checking the local papers and such. The other day the had this picture up that this woman just happened to catch which is so awesome and frightening at the same time.
