Movin' on up!
Glad you're safe, Shell.

Comedian Bill Engvall had a good idea, to keep safe from tornados: You know that tornados ALWAYS hit trailer parks so, they need to build dummy trailer parks, outside of town to lure the tornados away from populated areas.

LOL! That is great! Love that idea...might have to bring that up to the next town meeting!


Tonight when Mom walked in the door I asked her if she even knew about how bad the weather was. She said "yeah, didn't bother me any. I just asked that they gave me a warning a couple of minutes before it hit so I could put my head between my legs & kiss my sweet a$$ goodbye!".

The things my Mom says are so funny at times!

It's Monday morning now, and it looks like all of us in the upper midwest might have bad weather for a few days.

From the Weather Channel online:
"An eastward moving cold front and strong upper-level disturbances are interacting with warm and moist air to trigger severe thunderstorms from the Northern and Central Plains into the northern Mississippi Valley. The continuing primary severe threats are large hail and high winds, but a few tornadoes are possible as well. Heavy rains may cause localized flooding. This same general area could face several bouts of severe thunderstorms through midweek as the pattern will be slow to shift eastward."

I'm fine guys! No tornado here last night, thank God! It was pretty severe last night...rained like crazy all night long. The lightening woke me up several times.
Not a good way to start my Monday morning...oh well, it's only sleep! Looks like we're in for somemore crappy weather...why can't it just rain nice and easy?


Kim, love that picture! That is hilarious!


Thanks again for the good vibes. It looks like those "tornado get away" vibes really worked!

Have a great day everyone!

Shell - I am truly glad that you are safe. Forgive my silliness a such a scary time...I think my medication makes me stranger than I already am, LOL!

Shell, glad nothing too major came your way! Scary! I am terrified of tornadoes, and I've never even seen one live. Occasionally, we get tornado watches, but they usually amount to nothing. I don't know where my fear of them comes from. Maybe the Wizard of Oz was too realistic when I was little.

It looks like small town Nebraska made national news! I'm just shocked! News reports say that 4 tornadoes hit that small town last night! One person was killed and 7 were injured (so far any way)
. They got over 11 inches of rain in just a couple of hours. They even had to rescue people by boats and even rescued on man from his roof by a helicopter. I honestly thought I'd never see something like that happen here, but I was wrong. Here's a link to Yahoo News about it. It's just amazing! Thanks again for the concerns and the good vibes. It means a lot to me!

I heard on Paul Harvey that this was the first tornado death in Nebraska in 15 years. Even though any death is tragic, that's a pretty good track record for a state in Tornado Alley!

I agree Heidi. I read in the paper this morning about the man who died. He was in his garage working when it hit. He didn't even know what was happening.
His girlfriend said that he went out to feed his 3 dogs and then started working in the garage. After the first tornado that hit his place, rescue workers tried to free him from the rubbel but then they seen the second of the 4 tornados heading towards them. They had to leave him there. I'm sure those people will feel grief for a long time since they could have possibly saved him if they had the time. Not only did the man die of his injuries, 2 of his dogs died too.
May they all rest in peace.
