A GOOD SOAKING: First we want to mention that an NWS survey team
checked out yesterday afternoon's tornado in North Tuscaloosa County
around Windham Springs and Wiley. They confirm that it was and EF3
tornado with estimated winds of 140 to 150 mph. It cut a path almost 5
miles long and was 350 yards wide at its widest point. Five buildings
were completely destroyed and about 300 trees uprooted. In Lamar
County, the worst damage was an EF2 and in Pickens County and EF1.
It was a stormy day and night across the state with the main storms
shifting into SE Alabama after nightfall. We must be thankful for some
extremely beneficial rain amounts. We have posted another extensive
list of those on the 33/40 weather blog, but here are a few of the
heavier amounts:

4.50 Vernon in Lamar County
3.40 Crossville
3.08 Troy
2.29 Valley Head
2.59 Ft. Payne
2.51 Cordova

Numerous other communities in the state received well over 1 inch of
rain and many others between ½ and 1 inch.
Now we are going into a dry mode. We have omitted any mention of a
little light rain Sunday. The low-pressure area that was going to
cause that looks like it will cross North Florida and pass east of
Charleston and Savannah.

OUR NEXT RAIN: Signs at this time point to next Wednesday for our
next rain event, especially later in the day and at night. Meanwhile,
our temperatures for the next five days will be a bit on the chilly
side, but we can take them. No bitter cold and no unseasonable warmth.
We are projecting low to mid 30s for the next two nights and upper 20s
for Monday and Tuesday mornings. It was interesting to note that the
National Temperature and Precipitation Tables listed Evergreen, in
South Alabama, as the warmest spot in the nation yesterday with 87. We
immediately knew that was an error.

THE WORLD AROUND US: Baghdad is as hot as a cook stove in summer and
dry as a bone. For days on end, the thermometer boils in 110 to 120-
degree heat. Great excitement this morning as snow flurries occurred.
Not very many, but it was the first time in memory for most residents.
One 80-year-old lady, who had lived there all her life, said that was
a first. One of our most enjoyable campsites out west is Vallecito
Reservoir in SW Colorado. This morning they had 5 below zero with 31
inches of snow on the ground. At Gothic, Colorado, elevation 9,469
feet, there was 60 inches on the ground. Alta, Utah has 82 inches.
Coldest temperatures this morning were 15 below at Antero Reservoir,
Colorado and 49 below at Buckline, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is well over 5 years
old and you would think she would begin to slow down a bit. She seems
to pack more and more energy every year. If I had yielded to her
commands, I would have already had 10 ballgames with her this morning.
I cannot even grab a cup of coffee without her grabbing a ball and
slinging it at my feet. I often get behind in my work just because of
that little 9-pound dynamo. However, I would not change her even if I
could. Life goes on and she gets a whole lot of loving......
