We're not in Kansas anymore!

All I can say is that at least those of us on the coast get two days warning that we're about to be creamed by a hurricane. I can't imagine the panic of short notice warning for tornadoes. And tornado warnings are much better than they used to be. Not moving to tornado alley, nope, not me!

True, but your hurricanes cost $$$ in preparation.

Hey Sundial, you guys OK this morning?

I woke up to everything in God's creation that was blown by the wind. We had flower pots, trash, aluminum siding, and wind swept cardinals against the house. A couple tractor trailers traveling on the highway were blown over but fortunately no one was killed. Some of the small portable buildings did cartwheels but other than that, our house is intact.

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts. The girls and Luke were sooooo glad when the wind finally started to die down.

glad to hear you pulled thru!

and yep, we were in the back of the El Camino. The ditch was by the mobile home we had so she'd just drive over, and pull it in. The next day the farmer next door would get it out with his tractor. This went on for 2 yrs before we moved to a place that was safer to stay indoors. As a kid, I just assumed EVERYONE did that and never realized how terrifying it must have been for my poor mom.

Any TE'ers from Kansas City, MO? Are you guys ok?

Arkansans?
