ReplyDeleteAll of these happenings sounds so scary. We had a tornado here in North Carolina about 13 years ago. It destroyed my building in my back yard and cut two trees in half and threw them on my house. It killed two people in our small town too. Ever since then I have been so scared of bad storms. My husband is from Olatha Colorado. I will have to tell him about all these happenings.
