21620. judithathome - 4/14/2007 6:39:38 PM After I turned off the computer yesterday around 6pm, the warning sirens went off for tornados...I went to the back door and saw the black shelf cloud racing across the sky, with little tails forming and luckily for us, it was travelling so fast, it was passed us before they came down to the ground.
Lots of damage on the east side of town...our friends were out in their new car and the tennis-sized hail busted out their windshield and dented the car rather badly. Their two kids were shaken but no one was hurt.
According to the newspaper, only one person lost their life but the property damage is pretty bad on that side town.
Arky, it was headed straight for you guys...did you have any damage? 21621. jexster - 4/14/2007 7:40:29 PM No root cellar? 21622. arkymalarky - 4/14/2007 9:42:22 PM Glad it wasn't worse and y'all are okay, Judith.
It didn't get us, but we had storms and one severe storm in our county, but not on us. It's been so cold here, I think that's taken some of the punch out. It was cold all day yesterday. 21623. Magoseph - 4/14/2007 9:45:24 PM thanks for the vonnegut piece, patsy
You're welcome, Patsy.
It's going to be 50 plus tomorrow with sun all day, but we won't put yet the shovels away. 21624. judithathome - 4/14/2007 11:07:38 PM Forgot to mention that during a break in the storm yesterday evening, Keoni went to Lowe's for "weed and feed" and came home in the rain to spread the stuff all over the front and back lawns in the rain...the lad is a dedicated suburban home owner!
Jex, you should know that no one has a root cellar in the middle of a huge city in Texas...or a basement of any sort, in fact. Anyone crazy enough to dig somenthing that deep would turn it into a swimming pool, post haste. 21625. thoughtful - 4/14/2007 11:10:34 PM j@h, yes I did and really enjoyed that one too. 21626. judithathome - 4/14/2007 11:37:43 PM I have it in my "to read" stack. 21627. judithathome - 4/14/2007 11:43:59 PM Thoughtful, great news! Look at THIS! 21628. judithathome - 4/14/2007 11:44:37 PM Oddest thing, someone on another forum just linked to it... 21629. betty - 4/15/2007 1:42:35 AM We are expecting the storm Mags got a few days ago on Monday. I am sick of snow and might be willing to try a tornado for once. 21630. judithathome - 4/17/2007 2:54:35 PM I'm putting this here because the News thread is involved in the VTech shootings...
This is the sort of bile and acid they promote at FOX news:
Mean Spirited Obit Of Vonnegut As Only FOX News Can Deliver It...Fair And Balanced, My Ass. 21631. thoughtful - 4/17/2007 3:05:57 PM J@h....thanks for the heads up on the larson book. 21632. arkymalarky - 4/18/2007 12:49:39 AM Judith, y'all getting any mess? I had a killer migraine this morning and now it looks like the stuff is rolling in but that the worst stuff is over y'all right now. 21633. judithathome - 4/18/2007 1:06:01 AM Yeah...just started here. Lotsa rain and I need to get off the computer! Thunder and lightening...not good for modems.
