This morning I was awakened by my weather radio with the news that Muscatine was under a severe thunderstorm warning. Turns out, it was more than that. Muscatine got nailed by the early morning storm, with heavy rains and 70 to 90 mph winds. As a result we lost power for the morning.
I took a walk down to the store to buy a newspaper, and there were branches and debris scattered everywhere! It made going to get the paper a bit of an obsticle course adventure.
We made it through, but this showed me that I should be better prepared for something like this if it ever happens again. I'll do whatever research I can to make sure I have an emergency supply of food, water, and whatever else I might need for a power outage or other disasters.
