I had to look to see what planters you were talking about. Those are my neighbors' plants. Damage here was very sporadic - all from tree limbs falling off. A tornado went through my ex-husband's apartment complex that night. He lives about 15 minutes from me. All the treetops were torn off, but the buildings themselves didn't get any major damage. I heard sirens going off all night, but had no idea what happened to my car until daylight when I went out to go to work! Very weird night. But we were spared the worst.
Thankyou.
Yep, with tornadoes one home can be destroyed, & the one next door might not even be touched.
I'm doing that thing again where the thread titles keep reminding me of songs, etc.
"...or am I just a bit paranoid?" keeps reminding me of that song by Rockwell.
"The fat spouse" keeps reminding me of that old commercial where the husband comes home drunk and, upon seeing his wife in the bed, slurs, "Ah, the little woman..."
The Rockwell thing is just about to send me over the edge.

The rotund spouse thread reminds me of the old joke about the drunk man and bravery.
The ultimate form of bravery is coming home from the bar, drunk with lipstick on his collar. He stumbles into the bedroom and smacks his wife on the bum and says "you're next Fatty."

After hurricane Marilyn slammed into St Thomas in September 1995 she was accompanied by loads of mini tornadoes which produced exactly that same devastation. Hundreds of houses had their roofs blown off but then all of a sudden you'd see houses on either side of a totally vacant patch where a house had once stood, a huge ancient mahogany tree totally uprooted when those around it still stood (although totally denuded of foliage) and, in one shopping mall, a big steel-structured supermarket completely caved in while the surrounding structures received comparatively little damage at all. Still gives me goosebumps remembering all that!

Seeing that "Alaska Minded" post in Personals always make me sing (to myself) "Alaska in my mind," like the James Taylor song about Carolina.
Life in Europe was just different 12,000 years ago.
Now, now... I'm only 103!
