weather looking bad in Tornado Alley

[Judy1]

I hope all our PJ friends in the zone are safe. Anyone heard anything?

Two of my kids were in the Norman, OK tornado yesterday. Daughter was in the second basement down in the OU Library (I texted her to "go to the basement now" and luckily she did). They were within a couple of blocks of where that one touched down and had to take an alternate route home due to debris and power lines cluttering the roads they usually travel. Daughter thinks she's very cool for having done that, son's reaction - same as every reaction - "meh".

Yikes! That looks a bit scary Jen, hope things are okay for you today, the forecast did not look good. Was also worried about Nina, I think she lives in Nebraska.

I used to have friends who lived in Norman....whenever we got mail from them we'd refer to them as the Norman Mailers! LOL....

We'll just pay attention to what's going on....... it'll be okay. Norman is a beautiful town. It's 30 miles from us, but we go there a lot since it's our kids' college town. LOL......Norman Mailers. That is funny.

I'm worried about Nina too...... maybe she's far enough west in Nebraska to be out of the threat a little. Hope she lets us know she's okay.

Glad you're okay, I can't imagine living in that part of the country and having to worry about tornados for almost half the year!

A tornado went down our street when I was a kid living in Texas and it took off part of our roof. Middle of the night of course. So I was terrified of storms for years. Then I lived away from tornado country for about 30 years.... and now that I've come back....... I have found that I'm not really afraid. I plan, I stay alert,....... but I'm not terrified. Earthquakes in California, Washington and Alaska (when I lived in those states) didn't scare me either. I think I'm more nervous about fires than anything and we've had fires come mighty close to us here.
