When I lived on the Prairies, I freaked so badly during tonado weather. I think the electricity in the air affected me easily. You could put me in a dark, windowless room & I could predict when an electric storm was moving in by the way my skin crawled & my 'antsiness'.
Now I only have to worry about the "Big One" (earthquake) coming here. We're a hundred years overdue for one on the magnitude of 8 or 9 on the Richter scale!

> Oh, about tornadoes. I have just seen two and they were hanging out of clouds not on the ground. However, when I lived in Wichita there were about two tornado warnings every week during the middle of tornado season (March-July). When the big Oklahoma City tornado hit, the suburb of Wichita that I lived in (Haysville) got hit too. It wiped out about half of the town. Our house was near the railroad tracks in the middle of town. It got wiped off the foundation-nothing left. There was three story church dating from around 1920 that got wiped clean a block away-all that was left was a little pile of bricks where the chimney was.
