Default Tornado season begins again in Oklahoma

My thoughts are with those in Oklahoma's Tulsa area who sustained severe storms overnight and with those in Mississippi, Alabama, and Kentucky who are under the gun today. Several perons are in the hospital, homes have been damaged.

I can't think of ANYTHING that freaks me out more than the threat of imminent tornado - as I experienced this many times during the more than 2 decades I lived in north Texas, and even some in the Birmingham, AL area (though I was yet a bit ignorant of how hideous they really could be til I got to TX!) There is little you can do about a tornado but hide in a safe place - and is ANY place really safe from such a thing??!! It's not like you can call the police, shoot it, outrun it, or come against it with an army! Please be alert and safe, all who live in "the tornado zones" this year!
