Tornadoes
I’m fine, Denny’s fine, my brother’s fine, but Iowa City’s not fine. I guess the tornado ripped right through downtown, and it is a real mess. Apparently the Menard’s on the south side of town got its roof torn off, and I guess there’s lots of damage around Iowa Avenue, Riverside, and Burlington. The University cancelled classes tomorrow, and that never happens. Work is still on, but we might be doing things like clearing debris out of the streets around the office instead of work we usually do.
Denny and I were at wine-tasting class when the sirens went off. We hung out with our classmates in the lower level of Kirkwood Community College for about an hour. It was kind of scary, especially when people started getting sketchy information about all the damage that was taking place. Fortunately, all we got on the east side of town (also where our house is) was rain and hail, no tornadoes or heavy winds.
