Guess what time it is!

Its tornado time in North Texas once again. We saw the system coming as we were flying in against its out draft. We have been under a tornado warning for an hour. The sky is spinning, and the sirens are going off. Ugh

@4meAndyou i was all in until i saw the price tag! we can't build underground shelters here because of our water table. that would be perfect.

Be safe and do no worry as Joe Biden will protect you 😁

Do you have a bunker where you can hunker?

TexChik · F

@vetguy1991 yep

We lived through the Joplin tornade. The stories told by the children about butterflies saving them seem valid. Joplin still has butterfly murals and butterflies on posts in front of business places and at least one "butterfuly tree." So -- joyful protection amid the chaos and death.

I thought was PJ and wine time

I am glad you are OK.
Our season will start next month but it is not as intense as yours.
I have seen a lot of tornados but have only been effected by one. A century old three story barn reduced to a pile of rubble in a minute.

@4meAndyou Sorry, I meant the access to our tornado shelter is under the stairs. My hubby had it built in when he built this house. its floor is 10' below the floor under the stairs. F5 rated

@TexChik Super wonderful!!! I don't have to worry about you as much now. I wish Cherokeepatti would buy a storm pod. (Sort of like a phone booth, and if the tornado hits, you just fly in the pod until it stops).

TexChik · F

@4meAndyou The house was engineered to be Tornado resistant. It was framed using the metal stud brackets that make the house stronger against tornados. Hubby is an engineer

Stay safe. I only saw one, but it was terrifying. I did see the destruction of another, but thankfully we were spared.

TexChik · F

@Carissimi They can be terrible.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

I think they had some activity in Love county in Oklahoma, I was cooking dinner and couldn’t listen to all of it.

@SW-User Last spring my kids just slept down there every night because they are a little intimidated by the storms

SW-User

@TexChik They can be scary.

TexChik · F

@SW-User Mac and I both grew up on farms and have seen several tornados and ran to the cellar several times. It was just part of it.

Soossie

Good to know... 🤗🤗

saragoodtimes · F

stay safe Hun ❤️🤗

TexChik · F

@saragoodtimes We are good I think, the gust front has passed.

saragoodtimes · F

@TexChik weatherman here says that system will be here Thurs or Fri. we don't get it as severe as you though.

TexChik · F

@saragoodtimes Nah, that's a Texas thing. We get the warm moist coastal air mixing with the cooler air from the north and it mixes right over Texas and Oklahoma to make a mess.
