YIKES!! That sucks!! I hope everyone is ok though. Where do you live, Paige?? I always forget. I'm in NW Iowa and we get those all the time in the summer, but usually they're out in the fields and never come close to anyone's house. Thank God!! I know it's really scary when it does happen though. I remember one time last summer when we were planning a weekend trip down to southern Iowa to see some of my family down there with my parents and big bro and his wife, we were under a tornado watch and then warning, pretty much all morning, till like 3pm. Then we decided to leave and the route that we went, we ended up running into a developing tornado!! It just looked like a whirlwind/dust devil, then we drove thru it (someone was truly watching over us that day!!), and turned around and it had turned into a tornado!! It was sooo cool!! It was a small one, but it started on the ground and worked its way up to the sky after we passed it. That is one day I'll never forget for the rest of my life!!

Paige lives in Texas....about 2 hours from me... I don't think we had tornado warnings here or maybe I just slept through it...lol. I know it stormed pretty hard though

I was up till 2 watching the weather, I saw all the warnings, they never got closer than Palo Pinto, and Bowie, but today thur Monday, and most of next week there is a chance of bad storms.  Glad you did have to deal with a tornado, I did see that the tought one touched down near bowie.

Well I couldnt sleep so I got up to check the internet, and my email, the first thing I see is a weather alert about the storms.  So I went to check the radar, and it look real  bad,  so if I ever do get to sleep I will just get woke up again due to thunder.  They are still a few hours out.  I just hope they are gone by morning, so I don't have to drive in them.  I dont know why but put a little water on the road and everyone forgets how to drive.

 

 the weather which you have to deal with is amazing in the us ~ tornados, earthquakes etc.. i think im gonna keep myself 'safe' in england. I always watch the programmes that come on over here about tornados in the us an it scares the life out of me .. all i have to deal with is a bad storm (which is scary enough im such a wimp) although the way global warming is going england wont be so safe from the extreme weather in the future .. in the past year we have had 2 tornados (only little ones) this was 100% unheard of before..

well good luck with the weather and stay safe

 

I grew up in Iowa and seen a lot of bad storms and a few tornados. I love the adrenaline rush you get from a storm. Now I live in Phoenix, and it's a real dud. Maybe five storms a year that kicks up a little dust. Screw earthquakes! Don't want no part of them. Just some good old thunder and lightening.
