Iowa Weather

 

All of our friends made a dash for the basement and stayed there for two hours. Both of those things are highly unusual. And in December?! What the hey!

Our hometown of Jefferson had a close encounter with tornadoes in the latest weather phenomenon in the upper Midwest. Our house and pool hall were untouched. Butch's brother Leo and his wife Keri had a couple of trees uprooted. All in all our family came through this one much better than the Derecho of August 2020.

Our son Jason and his wife who live in Boone IA went to Jefferson to check out our place and all is well. He said it was eerie driving through the streets with no lights. The power is back on now. Many of our friends had damage of one kind or another.

Greene County is included in the disaster taking place in Iowa. 43 counties are in the disaster area. Iowa has 99 counties in all.
