I'm on north I35...and it's at a complete standstill...pitch black...and raining unbelievably hard. The frontage road from my office is underwater, as are apparently many other roads in the area. Guess I'll be here awhile!
So far all we know of is a couple of overturned 18 wheelers...trees down...some minor damages to businesses. No reports of injuries at this time. My office is located about 9 miles north of downtown...and it's nasty here. They've moved us to the lowest floors. Supposedly the tornadic activity has cleared up, but we remain under a warning. Lots of flooding in the area. More later.
Every day that I wake up is a great day. I am extremely blessed. I have the love of a wonderful family and great friends; I have my health, a roof over my head and enough food to feed my children. Each and every day, I have to look at things with perspective. I, too, am saddened and concerned about the state of the nation and the world, but I have to believe that the people that we elected to serve us, are doing their best and what is best for the nation. We are Americans, and the spirit of America is not one of depression, it is a spirit of faith, determination and hope.
