When we are under severe weather alerts, I have the stations on which have full time weather coverage. One just said that a tornado just went over I65. It looks like we are next. I have a full basement which is where I head for cover. My late husband and I were down there one time years ago and we heard the tornado go over but it did not do any damage. It sounded like a train. Looks like Limestone County is under a warning and it is the one next to Madison County. I am having ‘puter problems and have spybot running. So far, I have 17 winfixer problems, Magicantispy, awola, smithfraud-C, and one possible hijacker. I hate winfixer!!!!

Hey, you stay safe! We need you around here! :)

Looks like the warning has changed. The map is gray but I do not know what that means. The storm is in Cullman County which is between us and B’ham. We are under a tornado watch. Guess that is what the gray means. I will take cover if I need to. I know what tornadoes do after seeing the damage from the big 2 we have had.

I was in several, some in Texas, some in the Mid-West. One in Texas,at 10 o'clock at night the sky lit up with lightning, turned green and then the tornado came right at the trailer park, picking up cars and tossing them, blowing mobiles apart that were sealed tight with the air conditioners on.

It picked up the big double-wide of my neighbors that I had gone to to wake them up, and then set it back down. It picked up, made a right turn and broke in half some mature oak trees, and dug a furrow in the ground that we followed for miles the next day. I was praying like crazy, and no one was killed.

They are no fun and we do take our warnings seriously around here.

See. It’s alway winding in New Mexico in May.

[CougarGA7]

winding = windy.

SOme funky shaped counties in that NM map.

Maybe there was some stealth redistricting done to make it easier of Udall to beat Pearce.

Didn’t hear about it until 3 days afterward.

At least you had one more birthday not dealing with Elvis.
