So last night a tornado or a series of tornado’s came through iowa city. About two blocks from our house which luckily is fine, is a row of houses that i don’t think anyone we be living in again. We went walking downtown after the storm and of course thousands of college kids were out wandering around as well. downtown suffered some damage as well and it will be interesting to see which buildings will have to be torn down. Luckily as bad as it was no deaths have been reported and we got our power back late this morning. Now I just have to figure out how to navigate the closed streets to work today. I feel lucky again but also very sad for everyone who lost something in this storm. I am glad everyone is o.k. and thats what is really important.
