Janet, you silly woman, you sound just like me about storms!
I find them so fascinating to watch... always have.

My first tornado experience happened when I was 5 or 6 yrs old and we were visiting my grandparents farm in Illinios. There was a log cabin post office across the road from the farm and I was standing in a window watching it fly apart like lincoln logs when my grandpa grabbed me from behind and carried me off to the basement. I was disappointed and saw no reason why I shouldn't stand right there and watch.

Now livingin a moblie home Greg gets all worried and will sometimes call me to tall me of storms heading my way. I always ask him "And where would you have me go?" I'm not scared to stay here... I figure when my time comes I'll die whether it's from a tornado or in my own bed... so why waste time worrying about it?
