@imallears , we are safe and sound. Several lives were lost, however in the rural county just North of us. No details yet, but they most likely were caught unprepared at how quickly the storm developed. At three thirty pm yesterday my daughter was texting us, wanting us to go to the store and look around. I told her we were about to be under a tornado warning. She said no, it's fine.

Within the hour, the local meteorologist had our area plastered all over the tv screen. Nonstop directions as to where the storm would land, and when. Amazingly accurate.

Tomorrow I have my left eye worked on to remove a cataract. 11:45am, to be exact. It will be good to be able to see clearly again. It is an outpatient procedure, with my husband being my driver. I will have to wear these super dark glasses for a week. Two different kinds of eye drops.

Hope to "see" you again very soon......
