__The tornados passed well to the north of us causing, though not to compare with Tupelo, severe damages to Springfield, Worcester, Munson and more towns and cities; sadly, four deaths. Here, near Plymouth, only some very severe thunder storms, and the weather bureau in Taunton recorded along the South Shore, 300 lightning strikes in a mere 15 minutes.
__This time in one's life... just one lightning strike.

it does make life feel more real and more fragile... brings us all closer to the edge of our own skin... one whim of nature, or even a whim of fate... at any time in one's life... just one lightning strike.
wishing you well... and safe.
We were under the watch, but it was cool here by late afternoon, so I wasn't too worried. We did get that weird yellow sky, though.
Glad you and yours are safe. I feel for the people caught in the wind.
So glad you and Kathy are okay. Such a horrific tornado season this year. Thoughts and prayers are with those who have been so tragically affected.
I see it...and I am so glad you're safe
that the weather will be kind to you, my wish
much love...
excelente post
I have seen picture from town over there totally leveled, it's not mere history that is teared away, it looks like a culture that is uprooted - it cannot be easy to begin again
We lived with the fear of tornadoes when we lived in Chicago. We had many dinners sitting on the floor in our hallway! Scary!!
Love coming here - it makes me want to try Haiku again and again(despite recent failures of the form)
it must be terrifying to be caught up in a tornado
