TornadoI almost shit myself. I am a bit of a pussy. I dont think I have ever been so scared in my life. There we were in the basement huddled together like idiots, the candles burning quietly about. I need to know someone. I am getting sick of the same people. How do you meet people? I suppose I am socially retarded. I always leave that sneaking suspicion that I am a nut job. I dont mean to. Bah 
glad you didn't fly with the tornado. my sister, who is married with an american, spend the whole August 2005 in Kansas and was almost taken by one (not "almost" but it was close).
