Sorry, Booster boosters, but Boosterrific.com is no match for an angry mother nature.

A tornado came through my town at midnight last night, doing considerable damage. My family is fine. There have been no deaths reported as I'm typing this — let's hope that stat holds — but cable/Internet service bought it, limiting me to what I can post from my phone.

New posts will resume next week — weather permitting, of course. In the meantime, everyone go hug your families and count your blessings.

UPDATE 2021-03-29: Still no estimate on Internet restoration. The utility company says they're working on it, so I wait as patiently as I can manage.

By the way, I'm sad to report that the stat didn't hold. One man died in the immediate tornado aftermath. Local news says he was trying to make his way through the destruction on foot (as the roads were all blocked with fallen trees) to reach his daughter's house when he had a heart attack.

Tragedy like that sure puts an Internet outage in perspective.
