So far we've been spared and "they" aren't predicting anything but thunderstorms and clear beautiful day tomorrow with highs in 60s. Think it might be THE DAY to mow THE YARD - - - fingers crossed. :whiteflag:

So sorry to hear that. Through my childhood in east Texas to DFW to my time in Oklahoma we hear tornado sirens so frequently they almost become a running joke but they are definitely something to be taken seriously.

Prayers for the families of this lost and anybody sustaining damage in the storms.

In a very somber way I feel selfish up here not really in harms way of these natural disasters you guys have south and in the Midwest. My heart goes out to you all and to hear of the loss of life, especially the fact they are just babies/infants makes me sick !!.
