Well, we used the underground storm shelter I had put in the garage tonight. The tornado was about 6 miles from here. Remember I said my mom and step-father are in town visiting? The tornado went right by the hotel they are staying at! I just heard from them. They have no power in the hotel, but no one is hurt. I told them they got a big "Welcome to Oklahoma!" greeting. I wonder if they'll visit again? ;-)
The light of day is going to be quite a shocker for many people. As I write, the tornados are continuing east of the city. It isn't over yet for a lot of people.
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!

Glad to see you and your family are safe from the tornadoes. That must have been a frightening experience. There were tornadoes in Connecticut a couple of years ago, they missed Westbrook, but hit down about 2 towns from us. We were very lucky. That was a little too close for comfort.

Joel, so glad your family is safe in wake of the storms. I lived in the Texas Panhandle for 10 years and saw several at a distance. It's very scary! I was actually in one in Arkansas and had to run a half mile for the shelter in College. I'll tell you one thing, I outran all the jocks!
Hope things settle down there for you. It's cool and rainy here in Idaho........LaDonna
