Re: Re: WEATHER!! Now tornados

I know...slab houses are considered a bad investment here where I
live...no place to hide when the cows start flying through the air! :-)

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