    they sure are Julie, seen em from every angle (including the bottom) and they're just what you said, scary. I'd never want to be a storm chaser, I've seen enough by accident, IMHO it's best to stay away from them, not be racing towards them. I've also been stuck offshore during hurricanes, and would take a hurricane over a tornado any day.

    Yeah, I got on line this morning just to check on this, I heard some of Dallas's suburbs got hit really badly, thought about Easy especially since he's in one of them I believe.

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    I wish the storm put some scrap into my yard....I dont want any wood but computers, cars and trucks would be fine. I do need a good diesel motor so I can swap out a motor in one of my trucks....so if that diesel truck rig was in my house....i dont think I would mind...I would scrap the rig and keep the motor

    all my family photos and videos and so on are on server that's online so everything in my house can go...its all insured....only things I would be upset over are family heirloom that cant be replaced.
