What a fantsastic group to be a part of... Mikey, I highly recommend it! I appreciate all the kind words about the photo and the positive feedback about my sharing news about Ike's aftermath. <BR/><BR/>For the people who shared their thoughts about the "ride it out" folks... I appreciate your contribution to the discussion. I'm with Klaus, can't say serves em right... since no one deserves that... but the unbelievable stupidity is astounding. If I were a storm chaser in that area. I would have probably stayed, safely inland... but my family would have been out of there!<BR/><BR/>Pearl Maple, I was in that Blizzard. I was just a toddler, but I was in it.<BR/><BR/>Carletta, So glad your friend heeded the warnings. My heart, too, is with those who did not.<BR/><BR/>Denise, Glad we expanded your mind today!<BR/><BR/>Lirone, Cloud appreciation society?! I would love to join!!!!<BR/><BR/>Deirdre, I don't know why so many struggle with that false believe that they are invinsible...<BR/><BR/>Country girl, come back any time!<BR/><BR/>Mikey, please do join!<BR/><BR/>Bobbie, Please do stop by as often as you like. Weather junkies are DEFINITELY WELCOME!<BR/><BR/>Jules, I wish I had some to send your way... nothing my way.<BR/><BR/>Tom, no worries. Lesson 2 will be the next shot at it. I appreciate you.<BR/><BR/>Craver, the important part is leaving! Doesn't matter where?<BR/><BR/>Connie, Can you imagine... toe tagging yourself...?

I saw a video of a guy who stayed in the storm. He crawled up to the attic because it was flooding so bad. He called rescue during the hurricane to come get him. They said to him to tie a toe tag on his toe so if he dies they know who he is. He said he got mad at them. If he listened to them they said they could not rescue people during the storm.Connie T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01545099017971912245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-6522253797404841672008-09-19T10:41:00.000-04:002008-09-19T10:41:00.000-04:00I love the strong contrast in your cloud photo.
