I came home early from work to "be the man" for my wife and kids in this impending weather we have. Tornado sirens went off twice so far... all I've done is unpacked my replacement 24" LCD from Dell checking to see how well it works.

Scary. So glad I don't live in a place that gets stuff like that. I enjoy storms, but I don't enjoy losing my house, belongings, and possible loved ones. Good luck, hopefully it misses your area.

Sure, I'll make sure to get close enough to use my macro lens........

Definitely, I'd love to see a close up of a fly being thrashed by the twister :Q

all kinds of warnings/precautions were taken here and as usual nothing happened but regular ol' rain, a little thunder, and a smattering of lightning

I've had a tornado touch down within a mile of my house once, and I live in the Ottawa valley.

I love the saying from cars:

I'm as happy as a tornado in a trailer park

It's like buying earthquake insurance or flood insurance in Florida... it's not gonna happen.

Or if you do get it they will say the damage wasn't done because of the tornado but because of a tree falling on your house and it only covers ficus. ;)

So how do the dingoes taste after eating the sweet meat for their life?
