Wow !! Guess we got out of the DFW area just in time. An I thought the Panhandle was dangerous !!

Sorry I didn't get to visit with you and your lovley wife at the fest, but I'll make it a point to do so at the next one.

When you introduced yourself you looked familiar and obviously I had read your posts, but the old brain fogged up at about that time. Will do better next time. Bug

It looks like it is starting to calm down.

Bryan

Yeah Bug,

It was great meeting you. That's the problem I suppose, when so many people show up. You do your best just say hello to everyone.

Next Time!

This is a repeat of the note I pasted on the Tornado in Ontario thread. Those living in areas that are prone to Tornado warnings/sightings, give thought to your own personal emergency plans for you and your families.

Emergency Measures Ontario (EMO) like most Provincial or State Authority have based their plans that we can provide immediate assistance to those who lose everything but for those just with wind damage and suffering power failures etc, we need them to take care of themselves for the first 72 hours otherwise we will not be able to handle the influx of people needing assistance. After 72 hours, relief programs will be established according to the size/nature of the emergency.

This means, having non-perishable food supplies and water for your family (including pets) to last 3 days. Always having enough fuel in your cars, never letting your medications drop to less than a 3 day supply, etc. Family pets are not allowed in shelters so give thought to what you will do with Rover or the little kitty if an emergency happens. Establish emergency plans with your family, such as setting up meeting points outside the home in case of fire or other emergency. One of the Red Cross' first priorities is registering the disenfranchised and re-unifying them with family members.

The blackout last summer was nothing compared to what can happen due to natural or man made disasters. I'd encourage everyone to check out what your municipality has in place for an emergency plan. It is scary but many municipalities/towns in North American do not have an official emergency plan. Speak to your local Red Cross or Town Hall.

Should your Town not have a plan (especially here in Canada) let me know and I can direct appropriate resources and agencies to the town so such can be prepared. A well thought out and properly prepared plan can make the difference in property loss and more importantly lost lives.

I know we had some hail here in N. Richland Hills. Hope it didn't damage my car which was parked outside. At least the rain filled up the swimming pool.

What does a tornadoe and a marraige have in common?

They both start off with a lot of sucking and blowing and end up with you losing your house.

I hope you guys are all ok and managed to kep out its way!

I think there is something obvious that needs to be said. You could forget about the 3 days food supply and problem of allowing pet's into the shelter if you treated pets as the 3 day food supply! Even quite a small puppy could feed a family for ...

he he he - am I sick?

Honest ... I was joking !!

ball.

But who would you have to throw the bones to?
