Just got back upstairs after spending 52 minutes in the basement
cowering from the tornado warning. It eventually changed its course and missed us.
I think this is the 3rd or 4th time so far this year.

Glad you’re OK.0 -
Glad to see you're ok. I don't think I would like living around the indiscriminate destruction those things cause. Don't know how you folks do it.

…glad you're OK…one hit around Denton, Tx. last night, NE of me…so far the body count is 7 with 100+ (?) injured & they're still digging thru rubble…worst hit was a Trailer Park (Tornado magnets)…the worst one I ever saw hit Wichita Falls, TX…F4 w/250mph winds, a freakin' monster, I cant imagine how loud it was…cut an 8 mile wide path for 60 something miles, killed 40 something & injured 1700…I was coming back from Colorado & from the interstate as for as you could see it was just debris, twisted vehicles & a few shredded trees, mostly short stumps…on a scale of 1 to 10, the pucker factor had to be at least 15…

Will Biden build an unloading facility on the Mississippi to off load aid to those affected by tornadoes like he did in Gaza?

Stand outside and shake your fist at the funnel cloud. It may get you but at least you won't have to admit to hiding in the basement. 😎

Don't fadigue on running downstairs every time. Be nice to keep you here, and besides, you need the excercise.

That was April 10th, 1979…......aka "Terrible Tuesday".
I was there......and "almost" in it. Our apartment was about 400 yards south of the tornado's southern edge. Considering that it was up to 1.5 MILES wide......ON THE GROUND......that was waaaaaay too close! I had been driving south.…...across it's future path......about 5 minutes earlier. Driving a short distance west, on Southwest Parkway, against 6 lanes of traffic(plus one in the median)........was no easy task.
Like I said........MUCH too close.
At the time.......it was rated as the sixth most destructive tornado in recorded history.
Time.......sure does fly by.......🤔
