Everthing well here, though it *is* effed up in KC.  40000 were without
power and quite a few homes were destroyed, though only minor injuries
were re****ted so far.  There was no warning or advance on them.

Arkansas had serious damage and eight deaths (last I heard).  One was a
teenager asleep in bed and a tree fell thru the roof.

I'll be back this evening to see how all the fine folks are doing here
in wrecked gardens.
