    After we dry out a bit here in Oklahoma and the dust settles a little. Right now I have my head around Propeller II and moving it towards the next shuttle run.

    Beau,

    So sorry you just went through another round in OK. I had not been watching the news.

    I went through some want the same thing in 2010:

    And then one two years later:

    Stupid storm. You are not permitted to take a left hand turn on the east coast. Prevailing winds and the jet stream do not allow it.

    The loss of so many children is just tragic. Prayers are with all the people of the Midwest.

    Publison,

    Thanks! We have lots of friends that have been affected by this years weather season. Fortunately we are ok, but some of our friends have completely lost their home ... Right now our immediate concern is flooding, the ground is just so saturated and there is nowhere for it to go. The retention ponds/reservoirs are all pretty much full. The images below show the amount of rain we had before I went to bed (12:30am-ish) and the amount of rain when I woke up (about 9:30am) . This is all from the same storm that produced multiple tornadoes last night (05-31-2013). Some areas of OKC and El Reno received 11 inches of rain or more, we received about 6 inches where we are. Many people are without power.

    Things have been clear today, no precipitation, but next week starting Monday or Tuesday we are supposed to have a repeat of this past week.

    @Beau, I hope all goes well this week in the Midwest. I lived in AZ as a kid and the power of torrential rains during monsoon season was unbelievable!!! All that water and nowhere for it to go. This has made me wonder about placing a couple 1,000 gallon tanks in the ground when homes are built, similar to septic tanks. This would give all that water some where to go. It could be used for watering lawns or even filtered and used by the public. In Alaska most people have above ground tanks that capture their water.
