<div><font style="background-color: transparent;">I saw some emails last night expressing concern for rain damage at the club. I went there this afternoon and found no damage due to rain. There was a shallow puddle outside the back door, but there was no evidence of any water coming inside the building. I couldn't tell how deep the puddle may have been at the height of the storm, but no consequence to us. As for rain through the roof, I found two small drip leaks in the aisle. Both of them were at the north end: 1. Near the O scale side opposite the door leading to HO's Port area, and 2. a little farther north on the HO side of the aisle. I made a brief inspection of the the layouts, looking in the usual locations and found no damp areas. Perhaps a more thorough inspection tonight may identify some.</font></div>

Unrelated to the storm, one of the heating tubes above the HO layout (in the area of the despatch panel) broke and fell on the layout. I picked up and discarded the glass pieces that landed on the layout. There are still fine glass pieces that need to be vacuumed off the track leading to the helix.</div>
