9 April, 2009 -- Storm coming

Storm coming, thunderstorm, with possibility of hail, tornado.
Update: We got about an inch of rain, lots of lightning mostly cloud-to-cloud, light hail, 30 mph wind. Not too bad, we were on the south side of the more severe stuff. Followed I44, as usual.

Roofing crew sealing up previous roof screw holes that were letting moisture into the framework.
We're waiting for the insurance company engineer to investigate the previous shoddy installation, before this crew puts up the new roof.

While the roofing crew finished, and before the thunderstorm system moved in, a couple
of airplanes landed, on their way from Indiana to Neosho, right into the path of the storm
system. This old biplane is a De Havilland Tiger Moth, 1930 era open cockpit, with primitive navigation systems. They checked weather, then decided to chance going on toward their destination.
