Sounds like you guys got whacked...we got hit here in NY pretty bad for the last 2 nights. We were lucky, but a few towns over got hit hard, they are still trying to get electric back. Stay safe.

That's EXACTLY the program I want. Unfortunately, I live on a different planet than the mighty US of A. (Canada)

We sure do! Manitoba & Western Ontario are the northern tip of "Tornado" alley. Here in Southern Ontario, they're not as common but still we have one or two twisters a year.

In my neck of the woods, we're actually fairly famous. We made CNN a few years ago when the movie Twister was playing and a real tornado hit the old drive in theatre during the movie! It caused some damage, but not a lot. I wasn't there that night, but I can just imagine being one of those thinking about the incredible special effects <grin>

* truth now *

I should mention we here got a big kick out of the story, because it was really "blown" out of proportion. It's actually an "urban legend" full of half truths than real truths....
