The Power of Wind

[pigcicles]

Please keep in mind the victims of last nights storms and tornados. According to local news there are at least 14 dead and an unknown number missing.

Although this didn't directly affect my family, it does affect many in the area. The tornados demolished Picher OK and worked their way north and east through KS and MO. My town was only bothered by downed trees, but a very small town east (Avilla MO) had a young girl killed by a fallen tree through the house.

Keep in mind the power of the wind. When the warnings sound, keep yourself and family safe.

Here's one short article:

Very sad mothers day for those folks indeed. When the sirens sound around here we head to the basement and into the well pit. I'll take my chances with the spiders instead of mother nature!

I surely hope that any of our SMF members in that area are all ok today!

Unfortunately I just heard them say on FOX News the count is 18 confirmed, 19 unconfirmed. The National Weather Service has said we are on track to set a new record and the STate of Missouri has already set a record.
