Mar 2012

It can get scary.

One morning, 2 or 3 years ago, I had just poured my first cup of coffee, and took my laptop out to the lanai, to log on to SMW, and before I could sit down, tree branches were flying by. I guess the funnel was just coming down, as the tornado touched down about 1/2 mile east of here. It scared the shit out of my wife, who was just backing out of the driveway, and lightning struck the tree across the street.

The BIL was flying to St. Louis today. I hope he had an early flight. I guess they were getting baseball sized hail this afternoon.
