Hi again, Pop:

Perhaps my philosophical meandering was triggered by last night's fun and games with a pack of wild Tornadoes raising cane with barns, buildings, trees and houses as they passed through our little town of Glen Rose headed east while bombarding us with a mixed bag of large, medium and small hail.

We hunkered down in an interior closet with my iPad for Radar Observation, a flashlight and a couple of small chairs for a little comfort. In all, three super cell storms were headed our way so we had plenty of warning. The first one vaporized before it reached us; the second suddenly veered north and left us breathing easier... then the third one appeared to follow that same track then suddenly turned south, directly at us with little warning.

Being able to tell about the experience is something I hope I never have to do again... but when I think about folks who live in Moore, Oklahoma... we have nothing to complain about.

You can be certain, this old sinner was offering a prayer or two during the seemingly "all night ordeal."

All the best,

Dave
