We’re Not In Kansas Anymore

More tornados tonight. I truly hate tornado season - - love living in the Midwest…hate this season.

We sat in the basement for 45 minutes tonight as the storm passed overhead. The kids wanted to head outside and watch all the swirly clouds. Oy!

Glad it’s over now, though.

    oh boy - I remember when I use to live in Kansas and in the high school we had tornado drills instead of fire drills.

    The thought of a tornado is scary…

    I’ve never been in a tornado, or even near being in one, but I’d love to see one. From really, really far away.

    I guess I’m just a sick individual, because I *love* watching tornados and “strong thunderstorms”. Just the incredible beauty of nature in action is a wonder to behold.

    Last month I attended the Indy 500 and, during the day and afterwards, there were something like 45 tornados that touched down in Central Indiana. It took me forever to get to my home, but I had a hell of a view of the storms the whole way. :mrgreen:

    Yeah, a tornado touched down, the day before that Indy race, here in our neighborhood.

    Glad everything is OK, Lisa! The storms can get pretty terrible!

    I’m glad you are ok, Dorothy
