Duckin & Coverin

They just announced a Tornado Warning for Payne County Oklahoma. I was watching on television as the storm that's heading this way dropped a funnel about halfway to the ground, then picked it back up.
Hell of a time to live in a trailer park, eh?
Prayers and vibes welcomed.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

PS Jane, Ruth says hi and she is looking forward to exploring for bargains with you again.

Well, they were hitting all around, a couple to the South a few to the Northeast, but nothing came close to us, thank goodness. We got some quarter to baseball size hail, but that's about it. There's still a chance for storms to refire as the cold front passes through, but it's crystal clear outside right now. Such is life in Tornado Alley.
Thanks for the well wishes.
Jimi, tell Ruth that Jane says she can't wait to hit the shops with her and Bente again. Oh, my aching wallet! LMAO

Keep your powder and more importantly, yourself dry.
This is boring town but you're welcome here. Last tornado was 1945. Of course you have to like to shovel snow....lots of it.
Hold on Mike and head for the Gator bunker.

Been to Okla 3 times now. What I remember is: REALLY nice people, AND, designated tornado shelters in the Okla City airport restrooms. When I saw that sign, I gulped. "You people live with this????

Glad to hear you all are doing okay, Mike.
It's been quite a few years since I lived in Tornado Alley, but it's not something you ever forget.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Oh dear, I forgot… the English can’t understand english.
In Oklahoma City it simply says: “Tornado Shelter”. In Heathrow it would have to say:
Ummmm, pardon, errrr, PARDON! Should you blokes and bints detect a frightful windage, trundle oneself immediately to this loo. Noooo, tea will NOT be served. That’s pee, NOT tea. Keep yur gob shut and your knickers in a knot. Once the “all clear” has sounded , GER OUT! ya balmy buggers.

Yep, I'm in the southern burbs. The major action was to the North and South East of where I live. Just had high winds and small hail.
