Oh, we had a fun little moment, speaking of weather, passing thru Tahoka TX on the way to NM a couple of weeks ago. The storm chasers making some IMAX movie all passed us and I swear we saw some circulation in a field off to the left of us. For the first time ever we pulled over because the wind was so strong it was pushing the car sideways (we lived in West TX for many years and have taken a direct hit by a tornado in 1994, so we are not wimps).
We later found out a semi trailer had been blown over by winds not far from where we were and winds were clocked in excess of 84 mph. A car was not the place to be! I prefer hurricanes to tornadoes myself!

When we got to the town there was a pretty little Mennonite Church with the whole brick and glass wall smashed. But, smack dab in the middle stood an American flag untouched.
Like you said, I'll take hurricanes any day.
The mayor of Brownsville has ordered RV’s to voluntarily vacate Andy Buoy and Isla Blanca parks. He said, “We're going to get something.”
Yikes! Too close for comfort.
