Hey everyone!! It feels like Fall outside!! YAY my Favorite season!!\

Lets enjoy it and hope summer dosn't come back :-)

Fox 2 was in my town this morning! very exciting that is the third news station since the flooding!

If you have been working out in the flood waters or even sand bagging you might wanna get the tetnis shot! better safe than sorry!

Quite frankly it bothers me when people compare this to 93...

witch in some places it may be...

But for my county it has not been flooded at all and we checked the levees and there is alittle seepage under but nothing, NOTHING compared to 93.

As some people may of heard the story, We actually Re located on of our smaller towns, see it all got washed away beyond compare, and we moved it on a near by bluff, about a mile away, this little village founded in 1909 Valmeyer, my proud home town. At that time we had 900 citizens, now we have actually grown to 1,200, we have a great volunteer fire and police departments. and many organizations 3 churches a UCC, Baptist, and Catholic. Our story was on an ABC speacial, and our whole town turned on.

Have you heard the story? or did u live here? Tell me your story

And thats y it bothers me when people compare it

More ThunderStorms in My area!!!

A Tornado was spotted heading toward waterloo coming over the river, it died...

Yesterday i also learned a storm cell hit the Mississippi and built up over Monroe and then produced many tornados and storms down South East of here, All of us are thinking of you in heart and prayer. Now we need to get through today

David Cook the Winner of American Idol i have to say surprised this small county. idk about you but i definetly thought David A had it when they said the percentages...

Weekend thunderstorms left our County with many Uprooted Trees and Shingle Damage, Other than that nothing to serious.

A few Sparce Power Outages reported but most are back into the grid

O NO! its that time of the season again for ticks so be carefull!

A school in my county is being very aware and sending a note home about tick prevention.

Be carefull out there!

For once my blog will not be about news, as not much going on, I would like to say how much i like the Live Chat now on myfox. As we all do we read these blogs and communicate over days, if you use this live chat you can really get a feel of how people really are, there personalities. For example, Jay was on the other night and we had a nice chat and i fot a feel for how he/she really is. I always read her blog but that was so cool to me talking live.

I do have a question, Are the live chats only open during like storms or when skyfox is in the air, when it gives you a link or is it up all the time becasue i cannot find them

Today in our farm county we experienced two eathquakes one wwaking us up th e other during the day, testing our schools Earthquake systems out.

As im now understanding the first at 4:37 A.M. was a 5.2

And the 2nd at 10:15A.M. was a 4.5

Saturday April 5th, is/was a gorgeous day. Today the streets were busy and parks full. Enjoy

What did you do?

More storms possible continueing making our small town a very wet place with country roads blocked everywhere due to water or mud

we are ready for it to stop
