That sure sounds very scary: I can only echo Melusine on that I am sure glad to live in a region of the world where phenomena like that happen rarely if ever ...
Good luck to you ! ------------------ So long ! R³ - new, much improved signature under construction ! |

I'm back.
Thank you so much for your kind concerns. There are some power lines down, and two funnels touched down in Denton, but miraculously, no one was hurt. We were without power for about 45 minutes, then it came back on. Everything is calm now. The tornados passed quickly through, and miraculously, we didn't flood. I haven't been that scared since I was a child, though! The sky right now is the most gorgeous color of GOLD that I've ever seen. If only I had a proper camera! Anyway, thank you once again for your prayers and your concerns. They DID help. Hugs, a very happy |
