A sleepless night!! The trailer was “rockin’ and rollin” and the awning was buffeted by the strong wind. Hour after hour, I was wide awake. Finally, after 4:00 AM, I fell asleep but the NOAA weather radio awakened me at 4:40 with news of tornadoes (but not local). ~~ Fortunately, the tarp is still on the shelter. I have long “tie down” straps to go over the top and secure to the cement blocks (prepared last month). A CARE volunteer has promised to do that relatively simple task–but he never gets “a round tuit.” (I hate to ask my friend, David Wolfe, because he has so-o-o-o many other jobs.)

Even as I was preparing this message, the awning was thrashing around in the wind. It has begun to rain–and several inches is predicted.
