How have your neighbors made out with their insurance companies?
nothing beats hunkering down with candles and a coal or wood fire.Bill N said:Thanks Jackie. May is usually tornado month on the plains. They seem to spawn in Oklahoma and Kansas and move either north or east. Originally I heard that there was a fish hook theory meaning they usually formed earliest in the south around Alabama or Mississippi and then moved in a curve westward into Texas and up into Oklahoma and Kansas and then further up into Nebraska. But it now seems the can spawn almost anywhere with the right weather conditions but don't seem to be prevalent out in the far west. Anyway we lived in North and South Dakota for 35 years and had dozens of blizzards. We actually enjoyed them as we just hunkered down and if we lost power we fired up the fireplace and candles and had the whole family in the home for a period of time instead of having to be run to basketball games or baseball games or dance classes, etc. Worst part of a blizzard is shoveling out afterward but gas snowblowers soon solved that problem.....lol
Didn't know you were in Vegas now. Don't you normally home base in Scotland?

We just arrived back for our 6 month stint here. ?
We love that area too. The jetstream is low so I think that is affecting the weather at this rate we'll be spending our trip in Mexico ?Old_Crow said:Well, your timing certainly could have been better. We had a nice day yesterday here in the Inyo, but I just saw we have a winter weather advisory for tomorrow into Monday. All the mountains surrounding Bishop still have their coverings of snow and there's plenty of empty campsites up here.
