Cue ZZ Top on the 8-track: Easin’ down the road in a new Cadillac/Got a fine fox in the front, got three more in the back/They’re wearin’ short dresses, sportin’ spike-heel shoes/Smokin’ Lucky Strikes and wearin’ nylons too/Said we’re ba-a-a-a-ad, we’re nationwide.

Generally, they’ve escaped the worst of the storm; one reported that meant building a berm with a bulldozer to keep from losing a crop to flooding, but otherwise, the rain was overdue. Nobody lost their crops and if the sun comes out soon, it’ll be good for the growing produce.
