    Default Tornado Watch

    It's always a good feeling when the Tornado sirens go off and you turn the tube on to see a tornado heading directly for you on the weather map.

    It did go directly over me, but it had slowed down to nothing as it went overhead. Just got a lot of rain for 15 minutes.

    Man that is nuts!

    They say this is going to be a bad year for storms but on a side note we could use the rain.

    One good thing about being in Utah a state surrounded by mountains is we dont have worrie to much about tornados.
    The only sirens i hear are from the prison next to my apt.

    Do what makes you feel good.

    Ok, my wife lived in the apartments down the road when she was going to school. We looked at houses all around that area and settled in South Arlington near Mansfield.
