Why you need a hole in the ground!

Seriously, it's not that hard to dig a small shelter.

God help 'em.

Guy on the news was saying this is the worst year ever for tornadoes.

With concrete so plentiful and easy to work with, I think I'd be building me a concrete house if I lived in one of those areas. Or at very least one solid room in the house. Look at what is left in this picture, concrete steps, concrete blocks, and some wood mounted in concrete.

I don't doubt it, but I'd still rather have a concrete house/roof than wood, shingles or tin sheets.

good to hear from you rev...and the rest as well...a tornado is a very humbling and fearful thing....no method to the madness type of stuff...

our hearts go out to all who have lost friends/family in this round of chaos...

...and i for one, will be looking into getting some form of shelter

 

[Rev Tex Devlle]

I know that this is an old thread but this is the first time I've had computer service since the storm. I didn't have anything near as bad as some but still bad enough....large hail, 80 mph straight line winds. It took out the barns and one end of the house. Beat all my cars into the ground and killed a couple of calves. I was out in it for a few minutes and got beat up pretty bad but nothing serious...just bruises that have since healed. The worst part of it was, even with all the damage, NO RAIN. We haven't had any real rain since September of last year. I'm still feeding cows every bite they eat and hauling water for them to drink...don't know how long I can keep this up.

Anyway, looks like I'm back online and looking forward to visiting with you guys. Bill.

Thanx for check'n in SS, think we've only had 5 days without rain this year. hauling water for cows can't be good. glad your back and OK. Are the cars fixable?
