The cleanup has begun today in earnest and the degree of tragedy starts to sink in. Property loss is staggering to comprehend. Loved ones being reported as missing is still growing. Livestock and food-crops have been decimated. And it may not be over yet. We are still under tornado watch (a lower level alert) until 10 pm tonight.

It's the first time I've seen the sun all week. I am going out to the gazebo to assess our damage to the facility grounds and to try to enjoy this break in the weather.

I only regret that I can't do more to help locate the missing.
