    Default A horrible night last night.....

    There are 6 confirmed Dead as of 6am this morning. very very close to my house. The rotation cloud passed over my house 3 minutes before touching down.

    Glad you are OK Welder guy! But just remember this: If you are ever swept up in a tornadoe and are going to get blown away, hang on to a piece of welding lead, it will always hang up on something

    Glad you're OK, WG. Looks like this weekend could bring another round of violent storms from the Dakotas down to Texas. Good time to inspect your preps for extended power outages just in case.

    My thoughts and prayers to Texas today. I've been through tornadoes and they are definitely scary.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

    Glad you are OK. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the people of the area. Today we are all Texans, just as we were all Bostonians.

    What a nightmare. Prayers out for the families of the lost.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    Same here.
    If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.
