Dangerous storms here this afternoon

We had a tornado touch down about 4 miles south of us this afternoon. DH and I watched it form "live" on the local news (yes, we probably should have been in the basement at that point, but.....) , very cool to watch that on TV. Our area got some of the thunder, lightening and hail, but thank goodness, no tornadoes and no wind damage at all. It's been a rough afternoon and evening here in the south. Glad to hear Seren is okay. Those of you who are east of Atlanta, beware tonight. Maybe the storms will lose intensity as they travel east.

Hmmm, I see Susie hasn't been here yet. If we don't see her in the morning, I'll call and check on her.

In chat the other night, we talked about Kulani and wondered how she is doing. I sent her a card today, snail mail, and told her to write me back and let me know what is going on with her and I told her that we missed her and hoped she was able to get her computer fixed soon. When I hear back from her, I will let you know.

Well, bugs, time for bed. Happy weekend to all and to all a goodnight. See you in the morning....BB

Hang on to your cap now with all that wind. I get storm alerts and warnings on my computer from the local TV station. Don't you think if the storm is that severe and imminent I should turn the TV and computer off? Kathey

Wow BB,

I watched that tornado form on TV, too. I am so glad that it missed you. It was huge. I was getting everyone who could get downstairs ready to go, but then we had to get mattresses and stuff ready for Daddy, just in case it came our way. It was passing near enough to cause some worry, but fortunately it did not.

Please, everyone who may be in the path of these storms, be careful and be vigilant.

Hugs,

Dannie
