I'm not sure what that map/forecast was for southern Indiana 
yesterday...but, I can tell you that it got ugly enough that I was 
without power for 6-ish hours...but, didn't know it cuz I spent the day 
at one of John's old houses, where Scooter lives, helping a crane lift a 
tree off the roof so as we could patch the gaping hole the tree put 
there.  Today I'm going to try to get the mess cleaned up. Quite the 
scene, it was/is. (The sad irony is this: This is the same tree that I 
got a written estimate to have removed last summer. "The inside is 
rotten," I said. "And, if it blows down, it'll hit the apartment."  )
