I feel like I have dodged too many bullets regarding weather since moving to what is apparently the eastern corridor of tornado alley, this was one was the largest caliber so far with the biggest destruction occurring 3 or 4 miles down the road. Round 2 is tomorrow afternoon. I have come to fear the spring.

So I guess when the winds gusts to over 50 km/h and blows the lid off of one of the compost bins, we shouldn't complain? That happened last night. Went out at 2AM to check on the canoe.
Man, I will gladly take a couple of months of depressingly low light and winter conditions before tornadoes.
Obligatory dumb canuck question follows: If you wear concrete boots, does that prevent you from being lifted to the Land of Oz?

Glad to hear you are okay. Was thinking of you when I heard your town was hit.
I have a close friend who lives in New Bern, NC and he has been living in fear of going to sleep at night for the same reasons. He has had some close calls within several miles of his place. Between hurricanes and tornadoes for the past 15 or so years he is pretty much ready to come back up here.

Went to a college hockey tournament on Friday up in Burlington Vermont driving in snow squall's all the way with frozen windshield washers. LMAO It was a balmy 3° When we headed home after a good meal and an IPA. Woooooo Hoooooooo we made it home with only 1 sideway skid and a dead driver side seat warmer LOL
That was last week. We've been in a deep freeze for a few days now. We're getting flurries off the Bay of Fundy. Sometimes it gives us enough snow amounts to rival any major storms. Just yesterday I was told that 10 minutes away from us it was sunny while we had flurries here all morning. Big fat light fluffy flakes.
Looking at this beautiful city in which I live (PORTLAND,OR) while sipping a Mimosa, watching the weather changeby the moment. Not to mention with a couple of people I'm crazy about. LIfe is good. .
It was a little dodgy for a few minutes. The rain has slowed down now, but there's still a lot of thunder and lightning. We were not issued any tornado warnings for this storm, but it was loud.
Ouch! Damn! I forgot there's no window in this room.
