Re: Re: WEATHER!! Now tornados

Pam: Try horrible winters and tornados! And at least hurricanes tend to
give you a lot of warning that they are coming...and I know we have
improved warning systems nowadays, but tornados being what they
are...can't always predict 'em...sometimes they just come out of
nowhere! I've long since gotten used to the idea of living in Iowa where
tornado season is a just a fact of life, but they still have the power
to make me move awful fast when they are nearby!

Fact of life. Just like horrible winters up North and hurricanes on
the<br>Coasts. Becomes just part of the routine. I don't like 'em but
not<br>afraid of them either. They're fascinating to watch, provided
they<br>aren't heading straight for you.<br><br><br>Pam Evans<br>Kemp,
