Whereabouts in the south are you located? I originally hailed from New Orleans, although I made my first big move at five weeks old.

My little brother's trailer house was picked up an' slammed down, in a Texas Tornado. We were all so grateful that no one was in it, at the time.

Yes... no matter where the bad weather hits, it carries a bit of terror with it. I've lived all over the United States an' experienced every kinda' frightening threat by Mother Earth that you can imagine. Fortunately, I have also been very, very blessed by bein' protected, through it all.

Take care!

Alabama. Been to New Orleans several times, before and after Katrina. Such a huge difference. Places I had visited before were no longer there.

You stay safe as well,

Ohh, was going to ya, I love the Rapid City area. Thinking of revisiting in a year or two.

Thank you, Tony. Yes, we are all safe. There was lotsa' damage an' no small amount of fear an' darkness, but I've only heard of two people were hurt. The first person broke an arm an' lost two fingers, but when you see my pictures of the damage, you will be greatly s'prised that there were not many more injuries.

The second mention of someone bein' hurt was only a passing comment an' since that was the only time anyone has said anything about it, I tend to think that it may have been, rather than a second person being hurt... more likely, the same person, mentioned in a different way.

Thank you so much for your concern an' your comment! I Do appreciate it.

Warmly,
