Glad you made it through okay.<BR/><BR/>For all my complaining about the weather here, we really don't have it that bad. We can get some nasty thunderstorms, but the major problem is the lightning. I used to sit in my hallway with the critters during really bad T-storms. I used to have a water bed and I thought that was a bad place to be in a storm... Anyway, our biggest problem would be a hurricane or severe ocean storm (ie "The Perfect Storm"). It's been about 18 years since our last hurricane.<BR/><BR/>Glad you and your critters were there for each other.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469229581743468376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-44546743685453012602009-04-10T15:37:00.000-05:002009-04-10T15:37:00.000-05:00The pictures of Mena on CNN were horrible.

And, a flashlight. I'm sure I look funny, cowering in the bathroom with my purse strap over my arm.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309266986583326824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-50495161839385258942009-04-10T15:02:00.000-05:002009-04-10T15:02:00.000-05:00Jewels,Sure wsa a bad night for a lot of people.

My heart goes out to Mena, AR and to the families of the three who lost their lives. <BR/><BR/>I am glad to know I am not the only silly person to go to bed fully dressed when a storm is approaching. Of course, I have heard that people who are blown into someone else’s field usually don’t have a stitch of clothes on. Oh well…at least it makes us feel more secure and am sure your helmet would stay intact. Ha ha! It is fun to laugh at our (oh so human) quirks. I am siding with Jim on the no pictures on the internet rule!SunShinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491384969589130647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-23106373260060574992009-04-10T12:30:00.000-05:002009-04-10T12:30:00.000-05:00ArkieSo glad you were spared also The four legged ...Arkie<BR/>So glad you were spared also The four legged ones really do know when all is not well.<BR/><BR/>graggg<BR/>Thank you so much for the updated information.

Sorry to hear that you had some bad chicken. Interestingly, so did a good friend here, on the same day as you. Quite a bummer. Glad that your visit with your brother was good. Hope the weather clears up everywhere for everyone.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-13585521088684757072009-04-10T10:14:00.000-05:002009-04-10T10:14:00.000-05:00Mena Arkansas where a tornado.At least three peopl...Mena Arkansas where a tornado.<BR/>At least three people were killed and two dozen injured on Thursday night when a tornado smashed through Mena, Arkansas.<BR/><BR/>"About half the injuries were reported as serious," said Tommy Jackson, a spokesman for the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management at North Little Rock, Arkansas.<BR/>See the live program.<BR/><A HREF="http://malecafe.net/video/index.php?q=Mena-Arkansas" REL="nofollow">Tornado</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-76368761367072338402009-04-10T08:17:00.000-05:002009-04-10T08:17:00.000-05:00We had no damage here...glad to her you made it th...We had no damage here...glad to her you made it through the storm.
