Oooo, the local newsite says they might not be as bad as predicted...though the other links were from the same time. http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/loc...cc4c002e0.html

Not sure which one to believe...but I'm hoping it's the lighter one.

I flew by a huge storm in the Tulsa area the other day that had a reported tornado, theses strong storm don't usually come this early in the year so maybe we are in for a tough summer. Hang on to you hat bud.

Yeah, I'll be okay. Tornadoes are like a lottery win...rarely affect more than a few blocks. This situation seems a bit special though. If push comes to shove, the only thing that bothers me is which of my toys I'll bring in the basement with me.

And lol @ Phantom.
