Multiple tornados and severe thunderstorms hit the hometown of the Offering last night, causing widespread damage and destruction last night. The governer has declared a state of emergency and state and local officials are trying to clean up the mess as quickly as possible. The students at the University of Iowa reacted as expected, by going out in the wreckage and partying.
My home was very lucky- no damage and the power/water/utilities are all going strong. It appears that the worst is over, but more bad weather is expected late Saturday night and early Sunday morning.
This is the worst possible time for my family, as TheSister is scheduled to get married tomorrow in Iowa City, and we have 130 people arriving in Iowa City during the day today for festivities beginning at 6:00. Obviously, this is not the time to think of such things, but it appears that nobody was killed.
Keep the good people of Iowa City in your thoughts this weekend. I'm heading there in about an hour, so I'll post an update after the weekend.

Tim, you might be interested in the wedding pictures I've been posting the past few days. I didn't know you were such a big Bette Midler fan.
