Glad you are OK.
Hope the storms don`t move up towards Bosier.
I have all that money invested there. :)

When you get one in your backyard, it's close. 6 miles away is like watching it on the Discovery channel.

On the Discovery channel, I don't have a TVS marker heading roughly in the direction of my house :eek:

Seriously, when you see one in the backyard you'll know what I'm talking about.;)

No doubt.

Down here its unusual to get anything other than a brief f1 or f2. There really hard to see as they're wrapped in rain and are brief in duration.

This looks like a f3 that was on the ground for miles. The super cell that spawned it was enormous.

I had at least 15 comebacks to that straight line, and every one of them would have been deleted by a moderator:p

So suffice to say, I'm glad you survived:D

If you build a concrete basement, are you paranoid?

No....but if you build one in the area being discussed, or my area,  you better buy a helluva a pump to go along with it. :)
