Thanks for thinking of me guys! I'm OK, although we had to go down to our basement last night around 11:00 pm due to a tornado warning that lasted about 30 minutes. A tornado did strike down around 15 miles north of us but never came that close to where I'm at, although we had heavy rain and wind. It's messed up to be this close to Chicago and still have the occasional tornado warning. Glad you’re okay, CHI. Tornadoes are common in and around Dallas. Once in south Louisiana, a tornado ripped apart two large trees only about 20 feet from our house. Amazingly, it caused zero damage to the house itself. After it passed our house, it traveled a half mile down the dirt road to my grandmother’s house, where it nearly sucked her out of the window of her bedroom, where she was sewing. She wrapped her arms through the brass rails of her bed and held on. The tornado actually lifted the house off it’s pylons but set it back down again just a bit askew. Other than that, there was no real damage. Lucky for both of us. Another guy a few miles away had the tornado clean out his deep freezer in his garage. It was full of beef, shrimp, freshwater fish, etc. Thanks Rizz. That's an amazing story about your house and your grandma's. She sounds like a tough lady! |

Too bad, with my new job, I can't post during the day as often or I would have responded to you all sooner. |

They restrict your internet access a lot I presume? No, they don't restrict the net, but I work directly with my co-workers more with this job. There's not much downtime. |
