It’s around noon on Saturday.  We are doing great.  We got about 7 inches of rain last night but it hasn’t rained since daybreak so we are draining great. There was a tornado last night in the county that left a mess in a residential neighborhood but amazingly, no one was hurt.

Here’s my all time favorite local news story.  About an hour ago, my son and I were watching hurricane porn on the teevee, where local reporters – who never pronounce the names of any cities or streets correctly – stand in driving rain dodging deadly tree branches so you don’t have to.

So this reporter was bent in half in the wind, telling us it was so damn awful outside that you should stay inside and get in your closet.  And he earnestly says to the camera, “I don’t know how much the camera can get of this, but the smell is awful.”

Praise God, the camera couldn’t get much of it.
