Amen to that! If it suddenly gets quiet, ie no birds singing, LOOK OUT! These storms are developing in a blink of an eye and you do NOT want to gamble with your safety. The poor people in Joplin had no advance warning and the sirens sounded just as the mile wide tornado touched down. For some, they couldn't even hear the siren because of the driving rain.

Please people, have a safety kit ready to go and keep it handy, whether it's in your car or home. Create a survival backpack or purchase one that is available online that includes rations, a first aid kit, flashlight, NOAA radio, space blanket, Swiss Army knife, tools, shovel, gloves, boots, etc.

I realize that I may be preaching to the choir but for the lurkers here, it may just save someone's life someday.
