Happy Monday!

By Diane Silver

Between the 4th of July and a variety of other money-making commitments, we've slowed down a bit here at In This Moment. Stay tuned for further developments. Posting will resume soon.

Meanwhile, in beautiful Lawrence, Kansas, it is hot, hot, hot and humid as all get out. I know this is ecologically unsound, but I'm not certain I would survive without air conditioning.

And so it goes...

Kansas Tuesday: Tornadoes, floods, struggle

By Diane Silver

Up here in northeastern Kansas, we dodged the tornadoes that did such horrendous damage in Greensburg, but it is wet, wet, wet.

A good friend of mine had ankle deep water in her basement in Topeka and an inaccessible laundry room. My 100-year old house with its unfinished, limestone basement is a bit damp in the basement, but I don't have any major problems yet. I'm one of the lucky ones.

May the sun keep shining today!

The Lawrence Journal-World highlights the rising waters.

The Topeka Capital-Journal covers evacuations inside the city limits.

As always, the best coverage from Greensburg is at The Wichita Eagle.

Let me know if you're having problems or know of anyone who is struggling.
