I think weather like that is so cool! I think as long as I knew that I myself was not in danger, I would love to experience something like that. Thunderstorms are awesome to watch... I just hate when they happen in the middle of the night because it stops me from sleeping... even just rain outside keeps me up, lol. I'm a very light sleeper. One of my favorite movies is Twister, and I know it's only a movie, really, but all they stuff that happens just seems so cool!
Tornados are common in your area, right? I bet insurance is $$$$$$$
As for the baby, he should have been here by a couple of days ago, but he's being stubborn!
