Y'all are telling some wicked stories...weather.

mydogkat: I did not know you lived in Cali! by San Francisco, huh? Wow.
So did you live there when the bridge fell in? I vaguely remember that. Just thought of how scarey it must have been if you were travelling over the bridge at that time...my goodness.

Glad you & your daughter are fine.

And hugs: I can't imagine going through what you did let alone having the memories of it. God bless you. Do people in your town look at it like your town was saved for a reason? How scarey. Do the storms bother you real bad now?
I will think of you now with bad weather. Glad you are alright so you can be a Bandita!

I actually live on the coast of central California about 60 miles north of Santa Barbara. I live in a town called Lompoc, next to Vandenburg Air Force Base.

There was just another quake, I didn't feel it, but it was closer to Bakersfield. This state is a rocking.

Wow, mydogkat,

Is that on the other side of the San Andreas Fault?? I have seen too many movies about that area of the country dropping off the map! What kind of an earthquake would do that? Not measurable, or completely science fiction??

We have tornadoes around here, but have not been in an actual one. Have gone to the fil's basement a time or two though.

What an experience for you, hugs! The Lord has plans for us all--

mydogkat,

I go to cambria every summer. Well used to. Now i don't travel to far away from home. I the Napa valley area. I would love to live there.

Halfdollar I really do not know what the adults thought about why so many were saved and only one man lost his life that day. The man who was killed was not from our town. He was a worker staying in a travel trailer in the back yard of where he was doing handy work around the house.
I can only speak for myself, and at the time it never occurred too me that God may have protected everyone in that town.
I do know better now and looking back I am sure most families there would agree
we were protected by God and his angels.

This tornado is still listed as one of the worst tornado’s in Canadian history!

As for storms halfdollar, all my life I can remember walking in the worst of storms and never
being afraid! To this day I still go outdoors when I hear a storm is approaching.
I love the feel of the rain and watching and listening to thunder and lighting storms.
All my children and husband are the same. Even here in July, there was a bad look to the sky
And my husband and I went out on the second floor balcony too watch the storm roll through.
We found out hours later that the town 15 miles away was flooded and most of the town was
With out power. In the next county there were trees uprooted and large hail.
And there we stood in ah of the intense sounds of the wind and beauty of the lightning.
Guess you would call us the storm watchers, we often jump in the car to chase after and follow
the storms path.

I know storm nuts is more like it right!!
