See to many tornadoes in my life. 5 in just the last year, while living in Biloxi, MS (too many hurricanes too.) Last year had one move my 12 bay delivery truck from one side of the road to the other, with me sitting in it! I or it (one of us) went right thru the other. If I had been about 40 feet up the road, it would have slammed a mobile home into my truck.
When I was a manager of Shoney's in Biloxi, had two hit the store in 89 and 93, while we were open.
But last year was the worst, 5 in a year, all while in my truck on in my car. Had one hit our van while stuck in traffic evacuating from Katrina. That was the most scared I have even been (had my wife and 3 kids in van, was more scared for them than me.)
But they let us out of school early today. Had 6 tornado warnings at once within 30 mile of us. Plus we got hit 3 different times with hail storms.
Figured at school today been in about 15 tornadoes. Too many of them too.
But thanks for the well wishes.-ERIC
