alleyoop Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hey, glad you are ok Denny! Believe it or not, we get twisters coming through here too, although mostly in the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipshot Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Denny...My boat is still in the shop in Dallas. Has been for a month. I hope that twister got it and State Farm can buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_Ann Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Glad your okay Denny. We seem to have missed most of Tropical Storm Hermine. Got a little rain, but not much. Last week we got some pretty fierce winds. The neighbor's trampoline blew over their fence and into our front yard. LOL I went out back to gather up all my patio cushions and then looked out front again and it was gone. The next day we saw it about 100 yards behind the neighbor's across the street. We never told them where it went. I wonder if they ever found it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyAA Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Wow I might be not be eliglable to speak up but I am sorry to hear you getting twisters so close your home and scaring you! Even though I must admit climate is changng more and more tornados are reported in Europe aswell. There was actually 3 so far this year (small sized) reported in my 'state' if you can call it like that, fortunetly far away from where I live, but they do devastated households and injured few people from what I heard :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raquelinkansas Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Damn Denny! Glad you didnt blow away! Storms are great though, I love them. Tornado Alley Rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipshot Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Right on for tornado alley. Lee Ann and I got drunked up once and went storm chasing close to home. We found ourselves between two tornados in the middle of the night...WAY closer than we meant to. Great adrenaline rush! We won't be doing that again.

Napa1026 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Denny, good to hear your new roof is still intact, oh, and you too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXClusterHead Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Glad to know you and your family are ok. One touched down about a mile from my office building. You could see it from there. Thankfully, I had left about 30 min before it touched down. Someone took a picture of it though. I don't have it here, it's at my work email. But if my home email ever decides to start working again, I'll attach the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Glad you didn't get flattened out Denny! I don't know if I've ever been in a better mood when out doing yard work than I was last year just prior to the arrival of some twisters in the area. I was unaware of the impending weather conditions, but I should've realized something was up because those negative ions can really go supercharged and make ya feel like dancin'. Generally though I have found twisters to be a major freekin' NUISANCE, especially when the sirens are going off at 4 AM, and you're having to decide whether to take shelter. > Not that that compares at all whatsoever to the experience of people who are on the wrong end of a direct hit. And I would recommend that anyone in tornado country check the radar and forecasts before launching a cluster bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
