Even the nightmares wake me up with a racing heart and cold sweats. Some day I should blog about that... ok, maybe not. It's traumatic. @Eric - Thanks for your comment and hug. We're so glad to be safe. I can't tell you how much. @Kristi - Advice taken! I don't want a borer ransacking our next tree. Thunderstorms are bad enough as it is. :/ @Gina - I have ongoing nightmares of tornadoes starting back from childhood, so I know EXACTLY what you mean about the heart attack thing.

There a borer called the Emerald Ash Borer, from Asia, that attacks ash trees; very much like Dutch Elm. It's been reported in the Midwest and it moving West. I'm not sure if it's in IA yet but it's coming. Save yourself the grief. Brenda - Don’t plant an Ash tree.

I'm glad the family and homestead came through safely, though. *Hugs!* Eric Aww…. it’s always sad when you lose a tree. I’m glad the family and homestead came through safely, though.

I just finished telling Kristi (Ventl8r) that I would basically have a heart attack if I saw a tornado, but I think having sirens forewarning a tornado will probably kill me before I saw the tornado. Glad you guys are safe! Phew, finally able to leave a comment.
