Kathie,

I am so glad you popped back on here. I truly was getting a little worried about you.

I understand. And I do apologize for sounding so removed.

When the thing came on and said warning, it grabbed me. I know that considering what happened there a year ago, the word tornado becomes even more frightening. My husband has a friend whose house in TV was hit hard. I remember being so surprised that morning when I turned on the news. As I understand it, tornadoes are not that common there. In our area we get so used to that "watch" thing - probably too used to it.

After the site seemed to freeze for awhile, I searched some weather sites and saw that you were having horrendous rains. I hate the lightning that goes with those and I really hate high winds.

So anyway, I am glad you are OK. And I know what you mean about the heart pounding. I was alone in an elevator that decided to stop and toy with me for awhile by not opening the door. My heart really went into overdrive on that one. It is a terrible feeling.

I hope the rest of your evening is much, much better.
