I recently became the owner of a small farm in Hale County, Texas a county that ranks number # 2 in Texas counties for the number of tornadoes since 1950. We've already had one tornado this month. However, in the process of remodeling the old house, I noted a manufacture date of 1949 printed on the bathtub. Unless the old cast-iron tub provided safe haven for previous owners in the past who hid in it during tornadoes and was each time left behind, the date reassures me that I should probably worry more about the owl that has set up housekeeping in my attic than twisters.
