When I lived in Kansas and Illinois they touched down and "traveled" for a while.<BR/><BR/>Ell,<BR/><BR/>Even the dogs know the drill. When we open the closet under the stairs, they go right in. Once the thrill is past, there are important things to consider like how to make the morning coffee. Luckily as a "camping family" we have the tools to cook and make coffee. We also have a couple cases of MRE's so in the worst case we won't starve. ;)J. L.

It is about the closest I've been to one. Very scary. <BR/><BR/>Good to see you around again!Ello - Ellen Ohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18311917335471167591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767345199151369888.post-59285626843323602742008-05-09T11:18:00.000-05:002008-05-09T11:18:00.000-05:00Tornadoes are scary things.

I grew up in Arkansas and we had several tornadoes at times that passed pretty close. we lived at the base of a hill and one night we heard one go over our house in the air. That was scary. Just a few weeks back a tornado hit and killed 7 folks in Northern Arkansas but my family was safe.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the cleanup.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767345199151369888.post-19744990584964366052008-05-09T10:32:00.000-05:002008-05-09T10:32:00.000-05:00Joe,Ten years ago we lost a shed, several trees an...Joe,<BR/><BR/>Ten years ago we lost a shed, several trees and part of our house roof. About two blocks away an entire new section of multi-million dollar homes was completely leveled. <BR/><BR/>Funny thing is we have this old wooden shed out back that was here when this was a farm. While the new shed was totally demolished in the last tornado, the old one...literally three fee away...was unscathed. It escaped damage again this time.<BR/><BR/>Muse,<BR/><BR/>When I was stationed at Fort Riley I got to enjoy many tornados. At least in tornado alley, most towns have warning systems.<BR/><BR/>Unlike a hurricane, you really can't get out of the way...all you can do is hunker down. <BR/><BR/>We had so much rain so fast, that we are also having flooding issues. In fact, that was really the worst of what we got.<BR/><BR/>Supposedly, a more powerful system is on the way...lovely.J. L.

I fear it because that's right in the middle of tornado alley. <BR/><BR/>You see all the stories on the news, but until you experience it you never know what to expect.<BR/><BR/>Be safe while you're getting rid of the tree debris in your yard.<BR/><BR/>Take care!The Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974717192873929184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767345199151369888.post-85999092681690508452008-05-09T08:31:00.000-05:002008-05-09T08:31:00.000-05:00Glad to hear you survived relatively unscathed.
