At the cabin last night.

58 outside and inside at wake up. Light rain all night long, Best night sleep in a while! I did have to shove the dog over once. He’s a cuddler.
 
The weather was nice… yesterday. Today it’s going to be cold with a strong wind from the north. Sigh… almost done with April showers!. Bring in the May flowers!

We had 44 this morning with rain before coffee, the last I looked it was 44.4 but the rain stopped.
 
I stayed at the cabin last night to try to get work done today. It was cold, cloudy, and rainy this morning, up until around noon. It severely limited what I can do. As I needed things dry. I probably won't be able to get to work on things for another few weeks. I more than a bit bummed out.
 
So glad I don't live in the midwest. The tornadoes this spring have been brutal.
 
One of the guys on a woodworking board I’m on had multiple tornadoes skirt 4-5 miles from his house. The pics were scary. I can’t imagine being there.

The downtown of Sulfur Oklahoma was wiped out.
 
That stinks...

I wonder what the probability is of having one's home hit by an f3 or higher per year in tornado OK or NE...
 
The worst storm I ever saw/drove through was on my way to Badlands NP. It could be seen for hours as I drove toward it. When I finally hit it I couldn’t see going 20mph.
