of St. Louis) got about 3-1/2 in of rain in about an hr. We've had
funnels hovering overhead a few times today,a nd loads of intense rain
andgray/green skys , but no hail... yet. Looks like it's headed
northeast towards Indianapolis and over to Ohio great lakes.

Lights have been hit and miss here for the last hr.

Man I'm glad I'm not out in the middle of Carlyle Lake right now.

Thansk Jim. Yeah. all seems well..so far. But asccording to the
weatehr maps there may be another large load coming though in the
middle of the night. We dont' live very far from our towns fire house
and they have one heck of a siren and arn't afraid to use it. They've
already blasted it a couple times this evening.

I find "The Weather Channel" to be sort of a waste of time. I seems
like when a weather update is badly needed for the midwest area, for
some reason they're talking about some monsoon off the coast of
Vietnam or something.......

Ah yes - weather as I remember it growing up in Wisconsin. Nothing
like a Mid-Western storm front - weather old skool. :)

Glad you are ok and everyone is in one piece.

Been there in that kind of weather Tom. I harpooned my small Chris
into about a 4 foot wall of water and thought it was going to
submarine on us. but fortunately the bow popped right back up but only
threw about 500 gal. (seemingly) of water over the wind shield soaking
everything.

it was exilerating, but I dont' want to do it again.

Very calm, very humid, and vey overcast at the moment. Cooled down a
lot too.

might turn out to be a nice (but dull) day after all.

Sounds like the first time I went to watch the fireworks display in an
18' bowrider.

Do you have any idea how large the wakes are when a few 1000 50' boats
are "plowing" (almost, but not quiet on plane) through the water?

Be safe, man. How's the wife doing?

Thanks for asking. Well, she's feeling "OK" and gets her third "DOSE"
of chemo this monday which is a drag. The dr.s were amazed at how the
swelling in her lyphnodes wwere decreasing, however she thinks they're
starting to swell again. so I'm not sure how to answer that question.
We're being cautionistically optomistic at this moment, because you
don't know and probably won't know for a while.

But she's in good spirits and thats a plus!
