I'm in the Waco area. No action here, but I can feel the atmospheric changes. It's just too darned hot for almost 10:00 at night. Before sunset we had buttermilk clouds and a slight breeze. Now it's just eerily still out there -- the kind of still that gives us Texans the creeps.

I went through at least 3 indirect hits from hurricanes in Florida when I was young, and I don't remember anything particularly 'scary' about the sky then, just a lot of gray clouds, wind and rain.

I was in Lexington KY in 1974 when the 'swarm' of tornadoes broke out all around us. Now that was scary. The sky literally turned green, and all was muggy calm. It was like the universe was holding its breath, waiting for the unseen forces to burst into view. Luckily the chaos went all around us. I'll never forget the feeling of eerie foreboding in that sky.
