Hey, we all make mistakes. Just celebrate the fact that they are now making better choices!

Well, they did name themselves STORM lake. They kinda ask for it.
Being a tree loving guy I, ice storms rate as #2 on my hate list behind tornados. Not an Iowan so deracho's are still too rare for me to make my tree wrecking list. I'll take the maybe 10" of wet snow versus some of that damn heavy ice.
We all want that.
The derecho took out more trees than 50 years worth of tornadoes. You definitely need to move that up in your list.
Probably won't need these as I'm supposed to get snow and not ice but I am ready just in case.
Yeah I moved away after the derecho from crapids but I was home for Thanksgiving and after seeing everything all cleaned up its like eery how treeless it is. Driving around feels so different because so many arboreal landmarks I used to get bearings were gone.
Normal routes I have mostly gotten used to the “new” scenery. Routes that I rarely travel like East Post Road and the 32nd street/glass road areas looking to the north from the top of the hill still get me.
I believe 65% of the tree canopy in CR was lost. Over 650,000 trees.
Work cancelled 3rd shift tonight. Just waiting to hear that I am not going in tomorrow.
