Cannot afford to be without, though. Stay safe all in harms’ way. I. Hate. This. Kind. Of. Weather.

I was near the one in Hoback Junction in Wyo. in 2016 or so. The BIL and I skidded down a mountain after getting pelted with hail. We were soaking wet. Next year after the area we had hunted was so dang dry, lightning had started a fire and burned it up good.

rural Wichita County?

Fifty years ago we'd buy a case of beer and chase tornadoes before it became fashionable. In 1974 we chased one that set down on the runway at Sheppard all the way to Waurika. It made a mess out of Charlie. We didn't have drugs or I phones so we made our own kind of fun.

I thought I saw a lot of tornadoes in North Texas until I moved to NE Mississippi. One alley to the next. At least in Texas one can see them coming from far away.

Amazing, isn’t it? One of the most important things a new boater, camper or hiker must learn is to be aware of the weather conditions and forecasts. It’s a matter of life and death.

Sorry to hear about the damage. Is that from a previous storm?

I pray that the tornadoes come no where near your house and that you and your family are safe.

Weather Channel has some scary green sky pics. Isn't this a sign of tornado weather?

Sign of hail for sure. Mammary clouds are more tornado-ish.

No :-)

I am in earthquake country. Don’t think I could handle tornado country.

I’d keep my eye on that storm just SW of you. It fits the radar model for spawning a tornado.

I thought that PDS stood for “Pretty Damned Sure”.
