It ain't a REAL tornado until it picks up a cow and drops it two miles away.

However, we can hope for good news. Maybe it will take down that Imam who is tied into bin Laden. Well, we cna hope anyway. Operation Swirling Justice?

Well, between being evacuated from her building in the aftermath of the Pentagon attack and and having her building on high alert since then and now this, she has had better months. Her company is civilian but there are many military personnel who work in her building.

Doesn't sound too bad - only an F1 which means not very strong! Be Safe!
