Re: Texas Tornados
Oh, a couple of towns had the air-raid sirens howling.

I usually look for an overpass to hide under when things go to hail. I've helped tear quite a few stations down. There are plenty of old canopies I wouldn't want to be around in a heavy wind (structural rust issues)..
Glad you made it through intact.

Re: Texas Tornados
Things look good here in Longview. We hid in the "safe room" for a while listening to sirens, but the thunder is in the distance now.

Re: Texas Tornados
You guys will be glad to hear that Senator Durbin has the solution.. it gives me pride (and Illinoians also) to know that he is a Democrat.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vid...your_life.html
" Sen. Dick Durbin reacts to the tornadoes in Dallas, Texas earlier this week. Durbin calls for more laws regulating carbon output while he sends a dire warning that we must convert to hybrid cars or lose our life. Durbin says we must spend money now to fix the problem.
"It's your money or your life," he said a press conference. "We are either going to dedicate ourselves to a cleaner, more livable planet and accept the initial investment necessary or we're going to pay a heavier price in terms of loss of human life, damage and costs associated with it."" |
