Is that a fact?

Good down here. Dunno about folks like LK. Seems the middle and northern part of Miss'ippi got a lot of tornado activity. I live in an area that seems to avoid tornadoes. They go just south or north of my area. Old native American folk tale is that it has something to do with the formation of the rivers. Don't know if it has merit, but we rarely see tornadoes here. Certain areas always seem to get hit with them, like a trough that funnels them. Something to do with 2 or 3 rivers making a fork and combining......or something. The last tornado I experienced was during Katrina, and I think that's the only reason it affected us. Me no likey! Hope everyone that was affected is safe. Tupelo looked like it got hammered pretty well. |

Here is a zoomable map of all tornados in lower 48 from 1950 to 2003. http://nationalatlas.gov/mapmaker?AppCm ... ,CAT-toall It seems pretty random, but the map(s) don't show geography. I would think hills and mountains would be more likely to impact the likelihood of a tornado than a river would. They always seem to occur in very flat areas. |

I'm getting updates at least every half hour from LadyKate. They had one go right over them, just far enough away that it didn't tear the house upbut not far enough away to miss her son's friends neighborhood. Still waiting on word there. Heavy thunderstorms there now. |

We are good. We hunkered down in the basement last night after the tornado warning. It was actually kinda relaxing. |

Hey, we are ok. Tornado touched down 2 miles from our house. It was pretty scary. And pretty crowded in the closet! Spoiler: One of my son's friends had the tornado go through his backyard...fortunately everyone was ok. They're saying that the tornado was an EF2, and we had another tornado, an EF1 tear through the other side of town. My son's friend rode the bus home with him this afternoon and we drove through the damaged side of town when we took him back home this evening. A lot of huge trees down, power lines still down all over the place and some house were damaged pretty badly but overall, we got really lucky. No fatalities and only a few people sustained enough damage to their homes so as to render them uninhabitable. |

So glad you all are okay. One reason why I told hubby he was free to move to Tennessee when he retired but I was staying put in San Jose. My mom told me all about the tornadoes she went through as a child in Kansas. I would rather put up with an earthquake than a tornado. |
