Has it been more than a year??
My how time flies. It doesn’t seem like it could possibly have been a whole year since my last post here. I will try to do better — and try to lose weight and get more exercise, etc, etc. 
The winter of 2004--2005 was not remarkable here in Fort Wayne. We had a fair number of minor snow events, but not one good storm.
The spring and summer of 2005 were quite warm and often very humid, but we had very little rainfall. This is in sharp contrast to the very cool and wet summer of 2004.
The remnants of Katrina mostly skirted to our south, but we had a direct hit with the remnants of Rita. It has been our only one-storm rainfall since spring of more than an inch. We are still experiencing lighter and less frequent precipitation events than normal.
The only weather of any note, really, happened early this past Sunday morning (2005-11-06) as a line of strong thunderstorms with frequent lightning (but only about ¼" rain) ushered in a day of strong winds, which gusted to 33 mph at my house. This is the same line of storms that produced the killer tornado in Evansville — for more information on that F3 tornado, see story and video at www.14wfie.com [no longer available?], a photo gallery at www.indystar.com, stories and video at www.wthr.com, and entries in accuweather.com's blog by Jesse Ferrell (see the 2005-11-08 and 2005-11-07 entries).
