Well, that's not entirely accurate information. Minnesota had a total of 39
total (a new state record) confirmed touchdowns statewide and the three
victims were each in very different locations throughout the state, not all
in Albert Lea (one 250 miles to the north and the other 375 miles). Albert
Lea itself is fine -- the tornados down there were way out in rural areas
near there. The most extensive damage was done by the tornadoes up north,
specifically the tornado in Wadena (the "middle" victim).

One of my sons has a Facebook account, but he never posts anything. He
does read it, so he is current on what is happening in everyone's lives
and he looks at the photographs. You might try doing that.

Really? Not sure. I only went on to it once and I didn't like it much
Too much information about people there. Thanks anyway, Becca I have
mailed Carol so I guess I will hear all about it

Hi all!

I received your note, O. Reporting our status, as ordered,
ma'am! We're doing fine. Most of the touchdowns and damage were
outside of the city of Albert Lea. Tornadoes seem to hate farms and
mobile homes, for some reason. Spoke with a man at a photo studio
yesterday who saw a brief touchdown about a block from his home in
Albert Lea, a little northeast of downtown. We were watching the
weather, which aired non-stop for around three hours, and could not
see anything dark in the sky, although the location of the system was
described as being approximately where we live, in relation to a major
landmark. Except straight up. Crash waited until yesterday to tell
me that the thing was stalled overhead. It was a wedge tornado
(whatever that is), and varied, during its life, from 1/4 to 3/4 mile
wide. Our basement has huge windows, so I wasn't completely sure that
it was any safer down there than upstairs. In retrospect, we should
have been down there with the spiders. Shoot! I could have gotten
some laundry done! Seriously, though, I was very frightened. I'm
glad Crash withheld that info from me.

Here's a report from the local paper regarding touchdowns, the
relatively local fatality, and damage. They mention Freeborn County
a couple times. That's us.
http://albertleatribune.com/news/201...freeborn-coun/

From what I understand, the other two lost Minnesota lives were a
married couple in Grand Rapids, from the cell that came in from North
Dakota. Albert Lea is about an hour and a half or so south of the
Twin Cities, just a few miles north of the Iowa border.

In other news, I've been learning about our food supply since getting
on Facebook, with all of its amazing sources of information. In
February, I became afraid to eat meat. Antibiotics, growth hormones,
and the stuff they feed those factory-farmed animals! I've gotten
free-range, organic chickens at the farmers market. It doesn't agree
with my system anymore at all (like, we really should have two
bathrooms). The grass-fed pork was even worse, although it tasted
great. People like me are classified as Flexitarians, because we're
primarily vegetarian, but willing to eat certain meats that aren't
dreadful for you. I'm planning on eating lots of veggies today and
tomorrow, when we're celebrating Father's Day with friends. AH!
Deviled eggs! See? It's good to write things down. Activates your
brain cells.

ObFood:
Today - grilled pork steaks, baked potatoes, and pencil-thin asparagus
Tomorrow - boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and asparagus

We have baby spinach for salads both days. I'm making Delia Smith's
"foolproof" Foaming Hollandaise sauce for one of the batches of
asparagus. Let's see if it's still considered foolproof after I try
it. The other batch will be drizzled with butter, garlic, and lemon
juice. Not sure yet how we're going to prepare the chicken. I think
we'll have lemon cake with dinner tomorrow.

Yes, but all three people that died were not in/around Albert Lea, which is
how your original post made it sound.
