I was wondering if you guys were okay! Thanks for checking in, Rod. Take care and I hope you don't get too much more water in your basement

Yes, take care! I pray that our 'leaders' will change their ignorance regarding climate change...

Heard on the news about them darn tornados and heavy rains. Geez weather is changing alot Over the last few years. Hope the best for all in that hard hit places.

Climate change is fake news, don't cha know... I'm sorry for all the people hurting, there and everywhere. Take care, be safe, and try to stay dry.

If it's anything to go by, the kids are alright...

Praying for no more casualties in MO, or anywhere else afflicted by these storms. (And then hurricane season starts next month, good God.)

Take care of you!

Oh man, glad you are okay

That is scary!!! Yet we keep messing with mother nature!!! Stay safe!

I'm glad you're okay.

It's a terrible thing for all those folks affected. Put on some floaties and stay above water.

Take care of you !

They Got the Deep River Blues.

Climate change is fake news; I guess the Brain eater is on tour through the USA. Take care, and try to stay dry.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeepers you guys get it bad over there we are all going to notice a lot more change from now on, Take care my friend :)

What can I say? Weather has been changing all over, and I fear that it will only get worse. Probably quicker than anticipated too. Those willfully ignorant fools who deny climate change will never admit that it's occurring, not even if their house is submerged in a flood or blown away by a tornado. Our beautiful Earth is suffering due to Man's ignorance and greed. Mama Earth is angry at us and likely will eventually throw humans off like fleas on an elephant.

I do hope that you can find a way to remove yourself from this mess. Move, research and move to a more hospitable area. Good luck, Rod. I feel for you.

OK, best wishes to all coping with demolished houses and lost loved ones. I hope you're safe in the coming hurricane season. Ugh.

take care my friend

Be well and safe, my friend.

Very glad you weren't in the path of THAT! Be safe and hopefully dry :)

Keep dry and here's hoping the weather calms down! I feel for everyone struggling to keep safe and dry!

You guys sure seem to have a bullseye painted over you. When I heard that Missouri had been hit I was worried it was close to you. I hope the weather gives you a break soon and that you get a buyer for that house. Keep your head down and the pontoon gassed up.

To top it off, one Texas Republican held up the Disaster Relief Bill... What is going on?

Why pray to a deity that lets these drastic weather conditions to occur in the first place? He/She didn't need it to happen. Or maybe it's one way to let the world know who's boss. All you can do is hope and prepare for any eventuality. The best of luck, my friend.

I'm using up the rain as fast as I can Rod! But it keeps escaping and heading your way!!! Lynn is next in the storm lotto!!!
We're relatively unpopulated here in the fly overs... I'm really worried about our weather hitting the massively over crowded Coast!

OMG - They said nothing in the News, glad to hear that you and yours are safe!

I have been keeping track of the carnage. terrible weather and I feel for those families of those that lost their life

I'm sorry to agree with you. Glad that you and your family are getting through this crisis thus far. Take care.

Hey Rod, I'm commenting for 2 reasons, one to affirm, yes, the midwest is getting deluged, and you got some of its effects...and yes, some people got overpowered by those floods and storms and godawful tornados. I hope you don't get anymore bed weather-effects your way, and of course I hope all the other things that have befallen you and Jo will cease, as well. I hope Jo is better (and continues to get better), and that your repair and move will be as smooth as possible from her on out. Second, I neglected to wish you a good Memorial Day (mea culpa!) and to convey my heartfelt thanks for all your service, which I've been aware of for a while now. I didn't mention it ONLY because I was concentrating on all the other s__t that's befallen you of late! But I know you were in SE Asia, and you put in a long stint, and I'm always grateful for your service in that heavy, heavy war. On that, thank you for your very thoughtful comment, I really love hearing about your experiences over there, I learn more each time as you have a lot to share. I always appreciate hearing from someone who was there. I'm grateful that you did all that, and were no doubt on-the-ready should the battle come to your doorstep. Many thanks, Rod, and all good things to you from here on out...

Stay safe, Rod!
