Had the computer unplugged most of the day yesterday, plus I had 80 daylilies to clean so I could ship this morning. Yesterday was the worse day of the storm when it turned west towards us, we had less rain yesterday but more wind than the first two days. We ended up with 101/2 inches and one tornado about a mile from us which destroyed one home and damaged several others, no injuries that I have heard of. We lost power for several hours but no damage other than limbs all over the yard. The wind also tore up the foliage on the daylilies so the ones I ship today will not look the best but have plenty roots to recover.
I don't think I lost any seedlings from what I can see at a distant, the beds are too wet for me to get a close up look, they should be much drier today, no rain last night. I have one week to get the last ones planted, they have been in the trays one month today. Will build the last bed when the ground gets dry enough. Timeing is everything if I want to see them bloom next year.

Betty I did put me a barrier of 2X10s on the high end and this deverted a lot of the water around them, if not for that I would have lost a lot with this much rain.
