Moore, OK

     I forgot to mention the flowers in TN and AL.  Wisteria, magnolias, and honeysuckle were all in bloom.  The honeysuckle was thick and all over the roadsides.
     The first week in OK, I worked at a new build of house in a town outside of Moore.  We were putting in trim, caulking, and painting the porch ceiling.  That house is just about finished.  The owners were quite excited.
     That weekend I was able to spend time with a high school friend who lives in the area.  We had quite a nice time catching up.
     The second week I was in Moore, I worked in a house in town.  I laid laminate floor and washed windows.  This was a rebuild.  Lots more work to be done there.
     Driving through Moore, one can see where the storms went through.  A lot of homes in various stages of rebuilding, empty stores and parking lots, and gas stations where there there is nothing left.  The hospital is still in a tent-like temporary facility.
     The weather was hot and muggy while I was there, but no storms.  I left there and took a couple days to get to Independence, MO to visit with family.
