We got 1 1/2" of rain from that storm yesterday. They had tornado sightings in Cape Girardeau. We watched the channel 12 news and it had a camera showing the tornado but it was hard to see.

I should plant a few tomato plants or something up on the deck this year. Didn't plant anything last year. I have some well seasoned compost to use. Just need to sift it to remove leaves and rocks.
