Tornados are terrible! We had a really bad one through here in April 2011, and people still talk about that one. Having got caught out in the peripheral winds of another tornado, I can't imagine the fear of those who have lived through one when another strikes.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390325505351159920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-27259268199064704492013-11-20T11:01:35.924-06:002013-11-20T11:01:35.924-06:00Glad your family is ok!

So glad to hear you and your family are safe. Lives can change in an instant. I hope we always remember that, and as you said, take time to appreciate it.<br />Tom Stephenson is absolutely right about Filipino humor. Saw a photo on Facebook with a sign board that reads: need house and lot, car and swimming pool! LOL! I have to say though that we (Filipinos) are sensitive about housemaid jokes. ;-)<br />SoapJamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643087391861279707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-36196527390056436442013-11-19T15:06:10.414-06:002013-11-19T15:06:10.414-06:00Donna, I am happy your family is okay.

Four farms in a one mile radius of us are gone, we got some damage but are very very lucky to still be here. Our neighbors actually saw the twister jump over our house - it then hit the farm house about 1/8th of a mile from us and reduced it to sticks.

Dreadful. Did these things always happen? It does seem as if they have become more common worldwide, or is it just that we hear about them so much quicker and easier.
