There is a part of me that wants to experience this once, but I don't know how people live in areas where this is a reality. I'll live with earthquakes and fires, thank you!
I'm with you R. Once maybe, but to live with it no thank you. nothing in life is free, it ain't about easy it's about tough

I have friends that live in Forney. I called them last night. Luckly the closest a tornado got to them was about 2 miles. But they were telling me about all the damage. There is a Flying J Truck stop and big rig's were picked up and dropped on houses 4 miles away.
Here is a video of one of the tornado's near my cousins house in Arlington. [Click Here] No good deed goes unpunished.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.
OMG! Did you see the cars on the highway at about 1:20...would you sit there? Or would you turn around and drive like hell? I'd like to think I'd move away, but some part of me thinks I'd sit there staring at it like a deer in headlights! What doesn't kill me does NOT make me stronger. It makes me anxious, bitchy, and vulnerable...but nobody wants to see that embroidered on a pillow...Lisa Kogan...thx LXL...sorry i stole it from you! Ok, maybe I'm not sorry :-P

I liked the way the guy went zooming down the on ramp, then saw what he was heading into and backed up fast as he could. No good deed goes unpunished.

I have been through several and its quite the experience. If you are not in the path you can stand outside and watch it as seen in that video. Couple of weeks ago I was in Moscow Ohio to help clean up the one that hit there. I almost cried when we went to one of the trailer homes that was basically destroyed and the very elderly lady that lived there would not let us take it down, part of the roof was pealed back and one of the walls was blown out. She had no one to help her get her belongings out. She is very lucky to be alive the path of the tornado was just 50 yards from her trailer home. One thing that is not talked about is the hail - I have picked up hail bigger than golf ball size and if your car is out side.... well. "640K ought to be enough for anybody." ---Bill Gates, 1981
