I think that was the Jarrell tornado. It was an F5. Discovery channel or somebody else did a special on it. There were a lot of tragic stories from that horrible day.

I remember reading an article a long time ago in Reader's Digest called "Day of the Tornados" about that year over 100 tornados hit the upper mid-west in one day.

We are clear until Friday night when we have another chance at thunderstorms. These warm humid days build up energy and then all it needs is some cooler air coming in to set things off. We need more rain but I'd rather get it from a nice long soaking rain.

We were still at 101 an hour ago. The cold fronts don't mix well with that. It's thundering big time and the lights are flickering but so far no rain. Happens a lot here though. It just goes right above us.

I would like to see the weather channel do a special on outdoor animal behavior as storms approach. Crap, I just lost my cable.

Do you know that guy "Dennis" in Collin County on TWC? Cool guy. He had his frame and box spring up and said he was looking for his mattress now and going to have to find his dresser too. Stated that's life and just glad he was alive. Not the kind of person the media usually goes looking for.
