Ark

About four this morning I was wakened by thunder and lightning. It remained almost constant for a couple of hours, then quieted down to just a steady but not torrential rainfall.

Nonetheless, part of the county south of us is under a flood watch. We may have more thunderstorms through much of the day, which will pretty much rule out any railway runs. If it is only light rain, they will go out, but an electrical storm is another thing.

The cats were on edge this morning. Well, Sundance was. She kept coming in and poking me, then walking across the bed and jumping off, only to come back and repeat the performance ten minutes later. Needless to say, this did not lend itself to peaceful repose. Cassidy apparently just curled up at the bottom of Tom's bed and ignored the weather.

From the radar, it looks like most of the bad weather is coming from the south and west of us, so John Sjaastad & Co. should have a fairly calm drive down from Minnesota.
