Glad to hear you had no problems - other than making a place to hide, Kathi. When we heard the tornado warnings, we figured you had gone to safety.

Glad to hear you're safe!

Glad to hear you are safe Kathi!!

I have always been petrified of tornados (maybe I saw The Wizard of Oz too many times;)) and this was really the first time that I was actually scared enough to get together my important papers and make a space for myself in the closet. We had warnings for 2 hours and they kept showing videos sent into the station of the twisters and the damage (one man was killed). I was never so happy as when they announced the warnings had expired.

I have always been afraid of tornados as well.

Have been too close to a few too many times.

We had them in Michigan - where I grew up - bad ones. I'm glad to be in Florida, where we seldom have them and they are much smaller. Of course, we also have no basements - just slabs.

I don't know how people can live in Oklahoma.
