Mother Day Tornado

While I do not have any Pixies that have asked to be listed on our Pixie Maps, we know we have quite a few regular members in the state and area. Already this year has been particularly active with twisters all over the USA and not limited to traditional Tornado Alley.

I will be watching closely for the Pixies I know in these areas to be checking in with us and hoping they have all been spared. :wish:

I have to say I found it entirely ironic that just yesterday (Saturday) msnbc.com had up a feature story about this town and how the lead levels from mining days were dangerous and people had been (and are still being?) offered buyouts to move from the area. I believe they were having a town birthday celebration this weekend - but oddly that's not mentioned in any of the tornado coverage.

It looks like the beginning of a bad season.

As I said, . . . . . .

A clear-cut example of how a natural disaster can be compounded by a human disaster.

"Paranoia: it's not just for psychopaths anymore!"

It's only paranoia if they're not out to get you. Recent talk of UN intervention in

this mess has only proven to the junta that the West wants to interfere.

True, even paranoids have real enemies, but these guys are building a new artform that would even boggle Adolf's mind.

That ^^^ seems to be going around in high places, doesn't it? :cool:

After a pretty rough night weather-wise all is fine here at the IowaMan household. We were very lucky here in my little town, there apparently was a tornado hovering above but I don't believe it touched down.

The sirens started going off here at 11:20pm and on tv they were saying that a tornado had been spotted about 30 miles to the west of here and according to their computers should be in my town at 11:47pm. Judging by the sounds I was hearing while in the basement, I believe they were right on target with that assessment.

Anyway, the only damage here seems to be the flattening of a newly planted flower bed from the wind, rain and hail. Oh, and three very freaked out adult cats that won't leave my side this morning.

Any Pixies in the path of Hurricane Ike?

I spoke with Shadozfire last night and she has relocated for the storm. Hopefully everybody makes it through ok. :wish:

Glad to hear that. ^^^

WW's in for a rough time in Houston.
