Woke up this morning debating whether to drive up to Starkville for baseball. I decided not to, but the rain kept getting pushed back as the morning went on. The wife was pouting, so we packed up and made it to DNF in the 3rd inning. It turned out to be a great day. From there, we headed to Columbus and got checked in to the hotel just as the sirens were going off. The wind was rough for a while, but we still had power. About half the town didn’t. We went looking for some food with no idea of the scale of what had happened.

Oddly, the hotel still had power, even after a second wave of storms at about 9:00. But, now we’re just sitting here in the dark and can’t sleep.

I know these types of hits are random, but Columbus has had bad luck with these type storms over the last 20 years or so.
