Hoping all the members of this board that live in the areas that have been pounded by severe weather, that they and their families are ok and you survive this very bad weather.

What? Can't hear you over the roar of the train. Wait a minute, that's not a train!

I've grown up around tornados - you actually do kinda get used to them (to a degree). The one we had last night was an F4 (the highest rating is an F5 - in 1998 we had one beyond F5 - it was very destructive).

This one is small, but severe. 36k without electrical, I-40 & I-35 shut down, hundreds of homes destroyed. GM plant demolished (if you ordered a Blazer recently, you may want to re-think). Not the biggest tornado, not the smallest, just another in a row.

Unfortunately, about a hundred people are hospitalized - fortunately, no reports of death - at this point. Injuries are greatly reduced these days because of technology and early warning systems.

Of course, 50 year old trees, buildings, landmarks, and 28 year
old 914's have no place to go.
