It was worse at night because they both have oxygen at night and couldn't hear the town siren if their life depended on it, which it does! There's not much you can do with two stubborn ladies when you are many states away though.

The crop situation is horrible and I can't imagine Iowa without corn. It just doesn't seem possible!
Are there any local organizations to donate to?

The Red Cross is always a good stand-by, but they don't earmark donations for specific events.
