I'm good but this catastrophie brings to mind a thought: As a Traceur, how would you evade such a hazard?  Grin I mean seriously, you'd have to sprint hard core. All of your training would be called upon like NOW!!! You'd have to dodge a lot of crud flying around. If you got sucked up by a tornado, you'd wished you practiced your flips. When you start to descend you'd require mad tic-tac abilities to slow yourself on trees and buildings. And once you actually contact the ground, well, let's just hope you really have your roll down!  Wink

I don't desire to make light of this event at all. I just see the amusing side of most things in life. If anyone has been hit by this catastrophie, my Prayers go out for you. May God watch over you and guide you in the next days.

I'm in Fort Collins, and we didn't get hit real hard...
all our school did was have everyone sit in the hall against the wall for about two hours. (first ever tornado/storm drill)
The only way it affected me was that it got me out of giving a speech in speech class  Smiley
My English teacher's pickup as totaled by the hail, which really sucks, and many houses got completely destroyed about a block away from his house. (he lives in Windsor)
My heart goes out to the people who had their houses destroyed.   Undecided

Yeah, it was definitely a serious matter, but it could have been much worse. For a mile wide tornado one death is pretty good. Lol and if there is some record for doing a backflip with seven tornados i should be in there.

My appologies if offended anybody with my humor  Sad Undecided It was not my intention. I had some friends affected by the whole event so please understand my heart. I'm usually one of those guys that Laughs just after personally experiencing a near death experience  Wink Besides, you go through life once - might as well enjoy it  Cheesy
