Just got back from my trip to the Catskills. I went camping with the Stogie and got to experience some severe weather on Saturday night. Of course my thoughts ran to 20 people who died when a flash flood sweep through their campground last week. Most of the them were sleeping in tents near the river when the water started rising very quickly. We had a lovely spot, but we were near a dried out river bed, and the stream was a bit further back, but you could see where in flood conditions the water would rise so high that the river would be right next to our tent. But it was a great trip and we got to spend some time up near Platte Clove which was very lovely since it was covered in fog.  On another note, evidently Jesus was struck by lightning in Ohio. It was a giant Jesus with hands outstretched to heaven, nick-named the Touch Down Jesus. Seems appropriate that Jesus would be killed by nature in Ohio.
