Glad to hear it Dave. Thanks for letting us know. that is the best kind of severe storm-one that falls apart!!!

Sure is, well going to call it a night. Slammed the car door on my left hand last night (don't ask) and it's currently throbbing like mad so, time to stop typing and rest it. Swelling is about 1/4 of what it was..nothing broken, got x-rays last night. Beware of car doors that close fast.

Night all...Dave
