Hey guys. Just got back online thanks to a telephone rescue by TeeJay. As the horrible storms came through last night, my computer just popped off. No power failure, so I was afraid it got struck by lightning or something because it would not boot back up.

Parts of downtown were devastated by the storms last night. I watched about 5 hours of local news as they showed what happened.

The great news is that another line is passing through right now, with a tornado in it. It's gonna pass through my area in about 15 minutes. If I disappear again, now you know why...

TeeJay · 15 Mar 08 :: 18:16

I'm crossing fingers that things will be okay. Hope POS behaves now! And that the weather behaves too.

This past week we had 2 days in the 50's and now today it's cloudy and only around 36 now. Those 2 days were terrific, could actually go outside without a coat on.

Glad to hear that you're ok Deb. Hopefully nothing more will happen.

magicalturkey · 15 Mar 08 :: 18:25

Hopefully the tornadoes will pass through alright, Deb :hug:

Donna · 15 Mar 08 :: 20:53

I hope your okay Deb.

justme · 15 Mar 08 :: 21:11

Yeah, hope everything (house, car, computer, etc.) makes it through unscathed.:(

Once, during Hurricane Rita, I sat it out in my apartment for four days of torrential rains and never lost power. And then lost my electricity right after the storms passed. That was in the fall, though. You really don't wanna lose power in the spring. It's too hot!

deb i hope you are all right. tornados scare me a lot ( well the idea of a tornado because we don't have them in romania ).
keep my fingers crossed for everybody in that area

Thanks everybody. We had more tornadoes today. Lots of devastation in Polk County. Two people died. Lots of homes destroyed. But it's pretty rural there so they had a lot less damage to people, cars and buildings than downtown last night. Thirty people were injured around the sports arenas in Atlanta. Fortunately, none of them died. Mostly it was cuts from flying glass.

My area is unscathed. It was just a very scary night and day. It was all around me, but never hit. I'm grateful to be here, with a working computer.

I do, too, Susanna! And remember, Bonnie didn't owe Joan any particular loyalty. She wasn't the one who betrayed Joan. The person who did that was much closer to home. That's why it hurt so much.
It's hard to watch, Donna. But you do have to see it. Those performances will knock your socks off. Heartbreaking!

Agreed. Chris and Amber did a fantastic job in T&E.

About 10 years ago I used to live in another town. Once a bad storm went through and I didn't think much of it, but the local news channels showed that a funnel cloud was very close to where I lived. Perhaps it even went over my house.

Luckily, it never touched down, but that was the closest that a tornado ever came to me.

Ive been in 2 tornadoes and one of them was an F4 tornado and it hit my house.

Glad to hear you're fine, Deb. It was all over the news here.

Donna · 16 Mar 08 :: 22:41

Yikes! Its been on the news constantly all weekend long and today too. I hope the mess all gets cleaned up soon.

Life just sucks.

Some of the most stupid people in the world live in America. It's like most of the time I can't help but feel ashamed to be American. The way most people act here is embarassing. I wish I lived in Europe.

Susanna · 20 Mar 08 :: 04:44

There are screwed up people everywhere Mel. Even in New Zealand, America's just a bigger place.

magicalturkey · 20 Mar 08 :: 15:49

Yeah... great idea, Mel. Move to Europe. Because there's no annoying people anywhere else in the world. Nope. They're all here. We're surrounded by morons.

domesticelefant · 20 Mar 08 :: 19:59

Thank God it's Thursday and a 4 day weekend.

But I used to say that When Lacey went, I'd make a rug out of her fur. Of course I didn't.

justme · 20 Mar 08 :: 20:41

It seems a little gross, but I guess it's really not that different than sweaters made out of wool or mohair. And it's MUCH better than those folks who send their late favorite pets to the taxidermist and keep the little darlings around forever.:o

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Mar 08 :: 21:05

Lacey would've made a coat of many colors. She was brown, red, tan, black, white & gray.
