It's a way of life out here.From now until late fall,we're under a tornado watch all the time.It's really funny to watch a Northerner around here when the sirens go off.LOL.We're just used to it.

There's no place like home... there's no place like home...

Well we had scary weather a couple of weeks ago... tornados touched down a few miles away but spared our location.

Back in May 08 during Mother's Day weekend, Tornado activity was active for three days. Early Friday morning while it was dark and we were still sleeping a Tornado ripped through the neighborhood 2 miles from my house. The following Sunday a Tornado moved from Lincoln County which right above my county and headed east to Cabbaras County (where Lowe's Motor Speedway is above Charlotte). We were in Concord for Mother's Day at my sisters house there and golf ball sized hail did $7000 damage to my brand new 08 Mustang which I had for only 2 months! The hail also damaged my Mom and Brother In-Law's vehicles and my sister's house and detached garage had to have entire new roofs put on.

While we didn't have any spinsuckers here, we did have a pretty good lightning show, and some horrendous rain.

I love Spring. Always something fun going on...at least until people and property are put in harm's way.

My condolences to those who lost someone in the storms..:mad:

Yep ---- it's similar in northeast Arkansas ---- and we've already had a few this year. 

I always seem to be in the wrong place when the weather hits.  I'll run down to Florida only to have to hear hurricane warnings and come back to Arkansas to hear the tornado sirens ---- and last year an ice storm. 

And yeah ---- as for the sirens ---- they just interrupt conversations.

Take some storm spotter classes....nothing to really be afraid of.
Of course, I also have a basp00get, and I've been in/through 5 twisters already.

I'm more scared of roller coasters than I am of tornadoes. :hick:

There was a warning yesterday in the Ashland, Medina, Wayne county area (right where all three counties meet) and as usual everything kinda dissipated by the time it hit Summit county where I'm at.
