Sure we get a lot of snow and an occasional blizzard, but you just stay inside, you generally don't have to worry about your roof being torn off or a car being blown through the side of it. Yeah, next time, please go for "high ground" or whatever passes for it in a tornado situation.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13453105465334116413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-24640086619398489822007-03-24T20:50:00.000-06:002007-03-24T20:50:00.000-06:00Lou said: Gotta go plant more trees that we bought...Lou said: <I>Gotta go plant more trees that we bought today.

I was very tempted to write something in the same vein but didn't. First off, because I only have four years of history in P-Town. Second, my memory is ...um..."bad." Yeah, that's it: Bad.<BR/><BR/>And...I respect tornadoes, too. Two years living in OKC taught me GREAT respect. Not enough to head out to a shelter last evening, tho.<BR/><BR/>Becky: That rest stop is on I-10, and it has a large and very well done visitor center. The name of the town nearby?

Wild is the word. Glad you are safe.<BR/><BR/>The whole Gonzles thing is odd. It certainly reeks of incompetency and lack of integrity. <BR/><BR/>Gotta go plant more trees that we bought today.
