Good Morning, mylot.

I am following the crowd with the good morning title. Trying very hard to remain positive this morning. We have a very strange forecast. Of course, living in the Midwest most generally means a person will get a tornado watch or warning sometime--it's just the way it is. It took me forever to get to sleep and then I kept waking up--I think I remembered to do everything. Stuff is charged up, anything in the yard is tucked away--even the two big flowerpots on the front porch. I said a little prayer over my tomato plants, and other garden efforts that have been growing. The car is put away in the garage. I made a big pot of coffee and put it all in the air pot. I may need it later!! So many forecasts, there are weather spotters everywhere, and so much talk about all of this. I really hope to tell you later, or tomorrow, or sometime that this didn't happen anywhere and all blew over. That doesn't look likely, but I am hoping for just that. ''A significant wind threat is expected across central Illinois through mid-day. Potential for gust to reach 100 mph with embedded tornadoes as the initial bow echo moves through Central Illinois.'' We are already under a tornado watch, which doesn't sound like much in lieu of what seems to be on tap for later. I am hopeful for the best, time will tell.
