Those are the kind of storms you get in the South tho - right? Several years ago we got a wind rip through this valley that was unbelievable. HUGE 100 year old trees were uprooted, a few folks lost their roof and I can remember David and I were leaving the office in my Jeep Grande Cherokee. And there was this frail little old man with both arms wrapped around a light post. He didn't dare let go or he'd a been gone. I stopped and David got out and put him in the back seat and we drove him home. He was SOOOOOOOO grateful!! He looked like he weighed about 110 pounds.

Well, actually, there are more thunderstorms than tornadoes and we get some hellacious downpours, but we do get hit with tornadoes too this time of year. The warnings here are scarier than other places I've lived. Basements don't seem to be real prevalent around here, presumably because of flooding potential so when you hear one is coming you basically just wait and pray....or go to Walmart.

Great job with the "little old man on the lamppole."

God Bless you even more.
