Just made it through my 2nd tornado warning of the year.

Apparently a tornado did touch down, just west of me. It's been a tense hour, or so. On the up side, I have a new, albeit temporary, backyard water feature.

1. Glad you're safe.

What state?

2. Michigan

We've had some of the heaviest rain I've ever seen. It's starting to ease up, a bit.

3. At least you're not likely to get a bill for the installation of your new water feature!

5. How scary!

Tornados and hurricanes scare the crap out of me. I have only been through a hurricane, but I think tornados would be even more frightening since there is less warning and they move so fast.

Glad you are safe! Take care!

6. They are pretty terrifying, but in a way they are 'in my blood'.

I was born during the aftermath of one of the most deadly tornadoes to ever hit the country. I think the tornado hit at about 8 pm. It killed 116 people. I was born just after 2, the next morning. My Dad couldn't see me, right away, because they had him helping with the triage in the hospital parking lot.

The weird thing about this one is, it came through the exact same area as the earlier one, this year, which is just to the west of where I live.

Fortunately, most of that standing water is gone.
