Texas tornado pics

I've been in cities that have been hit by tornadoes. Fortunately, I have never been hurt by one, but I have had damage to my home by them. That feeling just before they hit is so weird. The calm, sticky weather--the green clouds--the sudden silence--birds, dogs, cats, all quit making noise. It is frightening and it is interesting to see that others have experienced it.

In the 30 years I lived in California, I don't recall the weather. I was only in two quakes of any significance, one when I was 4 and don't remember and one when I was 22 which I remember well, and I didn't like it. I never even felt a tremor until I was 16, so they're very few and far between.

Never been close, even remotely to a quake; however, I did "feel" one in North Mississippi, bout 100 miles south of Memphis, in the Delta, back in 1968. Funny now, but I was on the throne, and it all just lifted about 1/2" and settle right back down. On a Sunday morning. My brother was in the choir at church, said all the chandeliers swung a bit, after the hit. All from the New Madrid fault.

We had a horrible hurricane rip through town knocking out power for 11 days and trees were everywhere. Right after the hurricane a tornado ripped through the county. A couple months later we had an earthquake... I was in the basement and felt the brunt of it and heard the steel studs in the walls rattle. Then a few months later a tropical storm came into town and flooded the entire downtown area. That's when we packed up and moved to Texas... figured we had to get the heck out of Virginia before the locust came in biblical proportions

the new madrid fault is the one thats causing all of the little tremors we are getting around here recently..... wait.... the first few were from the wabash fault in eastern illinois..... but the new madrid fault is the one that has the experts here worried....

I just remember being scared to death when the tornado warnings would run across (houston) and my house was large and open and with a fireplace and so whenever there was a big storm it would just HOWL and RATTLE and scared the heck out of me..
