Texas Twisters

Anytime during the spring/summer that I get into a storm, I start paying real close attention to what is going on. Wind is swirling around heavy, ok time to go hide.

That's kind like when you prank phone call someone and make it sound like the connection is intermittent...
"Hi thi- -ohn and I'd lik- -large- -xtra- -een pepp- -iet cok-" "Uh, sir you're breaking up." "Ok, I'll call you later." "Bye." "Bye." :lol:

I know what ya mean Jack. About 15 years ago we had one just a few miles from my house, it was clear and sunny over us. Just a 3 miles away, it was suddenly storming and a tornado dropped down, storm was gone 15 minutes later. Friends were calling our house the rest of the day asking if we were ok. Had no idea what had happened until later that night watching the news.
I misspoke above on that, I meant to say, they AREN'T getting any warnings. Roadie is making fun of the fact weatherbug having virus' and you not having one yet. Making it look like ya got one.

Man, I just ran through KS, OK down into Laredo TX. Glad I'm outta there now! I thought there was gonna be a Twister around San Antonio when I was thru on Monday. Worst thunder storm I've seen in my life through that area on Monday. I drove right past my exit back onto 35 to go towards Laredo because of the rain... and I was only going 40mph! Isn't this a little early for the weather to be acting up in tornado alley?
