Oh Jim, you need to be here during the midst of it! The media tracks
the<br>storms and gives a play-by-play detail of where it's heading.
Last<br>Wednesday we were still at work and especially got concerned
when the<br>storm center was heading to the intersection that houses the
biggest<br>liquor store around!<br><br> <br>At home, we only had hail
the size of golf balls and it knocked off all<br>the "whirly whig"
things from my maple tree in the back. Some roads in<br>the northeast of
the city looked like slush from a winter storm! But,<br>those tornadoes
can really flatten the landscape!<br><br> <br>Fran, OKC<br><br>james
