An update on the storms from Tuesday...
8 Tornados confirmed in Iowa.  The largest was in Lee and Henry Counties - 600 yards wide - EF2 rated and was on the ground for 56 minutes over a 42 mile path - fortunately, most of it was rural and sparcely occupied land - mostly tree damage with 1 farm house having the roof removed.  Some power lines blown over and an RV blown off the road.  This was about 60 mile south of me.
Here is video coverage by a storm chaser....

Another tornado was to the north of Lori in Buchanan Co. (15 miles to her north) EF1 and was only on the ground for 5 minutes - no reported structural damage.
The others were in NW Iowa and were small with short duration.

 

RIP Dickey Betts!....a co-founder of the Allman Brothers, he was 80.

Kani, glad Mike has friends at  the Waffle House!  Good. Breakfasts but if I were in La, that is the last place I would eat!   Lol!
There is an osprey nest on the banks of Wolf .Bay, Orange Beach, Al!   Beautiful serene view.  I have fished in wolf bay.    Checked in the other day and. Found Owls  🦉 have stolen this beautiful nest!
Tsk, I hope Joes condition is treatable and without further complications!   Such issues make my miserable back seem very minor!
Have a great day in Albion and a safe trip tomorrow  back home Clynn!  Need an update on the kitties, Harley and their time with Ed and Kelsey!
All looked good at swfl this am and Mrs T was feeding both little T’s. When I looked!

Good Morning Beakers

Having a few days of more 'normal' weather for April here this weekend.  Yesterday was more damp than wet with temps in the upper 40s - .4 inches of rain total for the day.  Today is partly cloudy with a high of 57 expected.  Next rain expected late Monday, but temps to stay in the 50s.  Decorah is expecting similar weather but a few degrees cooler.

Some updates from Iceland - volcano is still active, but volume has dropped to 3.2 cu. meters/sec.  When the volume drops below 3 cms the volcano is expected to die.  The videos from Iceland Explorer will contain footage from other events, so when you see people near the eruption, it is not the current eruption.

5:45  One second off average. Wow! Also, what about that update?
I am staying in again today.  I thought I was well last night, but throat and nose not well this morning.
Thanks Cal for thinking of us this morning in spite of your sadness. It helps to do things in a normal fashion at times of stress they say.
Bye for now.  I think I will go lie down a while.
GBU and all that are suffering this morning.

Good Morning Beakers....T.G.I.F!!


Lani - Thanks for the Royal update. Glad to hear that Mike is on his way back home.  Aww, the LaPlace Waffle House staff knows him! 

kb - Glad to hear the toe is feeling a lil better. 

baz - It is always good to listen to your body.

tsk - Oh my, more mulch spreading.  Continued prayers for Joe!  Woke up thinking he was at Jersey Mikes...LOL  Praying it is not cancerous.

E4E - Glad you have a good time with your company. 

tig - Very nice of ((Camper)) to offer his services. 

karen - Glad you got a good haircut.

Phyl - Thanks for all the pics and links.  I am glad it is Friday, too! 

Seems like every time I check out the progress on this nest, there is a chainsaw running somewhere nearby. Could be why the parents don’t seem to be as attentive to the young.
