July 4, 2009: Family day and stormy weather
Well, today’s severe weather event lived up to its potential across a few of our counties. Damage to trees, houses, and barns/sheds was reported from Charleston, MO all the way to Murray, KY. Several possible tornadoes occurred. A very strong storm passed through the Dexter, KY area – near Joey’s parents. Reports of a possible rain wrapped tornado in that area.
Spent most of the morning and early afternoon with my family in Mayfield. We had BBQ and the kids went swimming. Well, the kids went swimming and some of the adults. 🙂 Mother and I talked while the kids swam. Lots of sweet tea – bbq – potato salad – and baked beans that my mom made. They were good. 🙂
Bad thing is that when I left to go home to cover the severe weather I forgot to bring some bbq with me!
Missed the fireworks tonight as I had to work with emergency management in covering the severe weather outbreak and the fireworks downtown Paducah.
Sort of a quiet Fourth of July. Daisy is here but that is it.
