The National Weather Service just upgraded the Enderlin, North
Dakota tornado this past June to an EF-5, with 210 mph winds. The
biggest evidence of such as that it blew fully loaded railroad
cars (including tankers) off the rails.

The first EF-5 in 12 years from what I heard.

It has been scary at times when I see the garden shed move
across the garden. And it has some heavy stuff in it

I do want to see a hurricane and a volcano before I push up the daisies. Both are on my bucket list. I am thinking of flying to Iceland next spring or autumn. The US will more than likely be Texas in a couple of years time

Married twice, divorced twice so I have been zapped a lot :)

Married once, widowed once...and that was the end of it.

At this stage of life, folks have too much baggage to deal with,
and I don't want or need the extra drama. I have enough of my own!!

Sean,

That's correct. What gets me though is that so many folks are
ignorant about the weather. They think they can check the forecast
on Sunday, and it won't change for a week.

Truth be told, the weather changes more than you change your
underwear (never mind creating your own undergarments storm <G>).

I've seen it go from clear skies to tornadic storms in as little
as 20 minutes...and tornadoes have been clocked at 90 mph or more.
They don't have to stop for red lights...they'll take them out!!

73,
