Good to hear everyone is okay, minus the folks who got hurt. Positive vibes and thoughts going out to them!

Side note, we have this music festival here called Big Vallee Jamboree and last year there was this freak storm with severe winds that caused a stage to collapse and slide right onto a lady who died instantly. Tim McGraw and Kevin Costner & band were scheduled to play but had to cancel.
