RAY OF HOPE IN A SEA OF DOOM: The Kansas National Guard raised the
good old USA flag on what was left of the Greensburg Post Office
early this afternoon. Three cheers!

THE ALABAMA STORY: Back home in Alabama, it is a continuing story
of the entire countryside crying and begging for rain. Look at these
rain deficits in only 17 weeks (since January 1):

13.05 inches in Huntsville
12.20 in Birmingham
9.60 in Montgomery
11.40 in Mobile

In Birmingham, for example, the actual deficit equals about two and
one-half months of normal rainfall. It is difficult to catch up when
you get that far behind. A big plus would be a tropical depression,
but we certainly do not want a tropical storm. We do have a chance of
showers starting at some point Friday and a better chance by this
weekend. We are not sure how much rain will fall across Central
Alabama, but there is a good chance that before it is over some areas
will get 2/3 inch or more.

Meanwhile, it will start getting more humid and the
thermometer will return to above normal levels during the afternoon.
Look for mid 80s starting tomorrow all the way through the weekend.
There was a nice feel in the air this morning. It will not be long
until we will have no chance of that again until autumn. Some of the
cooler temperatures this morning included 40 at Horseshoe Bend, 41 in
DeSoto State Park, 42 in Troy, 43 in Heflin. It was in the 40s over
most of the north half of Alabama.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: A strong low pressure area east of
Jacksonville grew stronger during the night as it crossed the Gulf
Stream. It is a hybrid between a cold-core nor'easter and a warm core
tropical type. However, it still does not have enough bloodline to
even be a semi-tropical situation. Beach erosion and coastal flooding
is occurring all the way from North Carolina to South Florida. This
low is expected to weaken as it moves into North Florida in a couple
of days. Still a chance it will give the fire-plagued area of South
Georgia welcome rain. A cold temperature this morning was 23 at
Stanley, Idaho. The South Plains are still being pounded. A Tornado
Watch was in effect for West Texas and at least 8 counties under
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. Major river flooding in the Midwest,
especially from Missouri through Iowa and South Dakota. Too bad the
rain cannot be spread around.....
