Jon,
For a minute I thought you were going to jump in the Dak and head to a
tunnel for safe keeping. :'B (That would have been my first thought.)
I've seen several tornados in my past. They are wild looking to say the
least. Most wicked was watching one funnel up and drop on the road up in
front of me, then disapear. Whoa, what a sight! Glad your safe. Sorry
about you hardware losses. You wanted one of those new "low priced" digital
TV's anyway, didn't you? Take care and talk to you later.
Rich

Drivin home Thursday afternoon, I hear on the radio that a tornado warning
had just been issued in muh 'hood... I get home just in time to check the
doppler, then the aptmt. got a direct hit from lightening. Out went the TV
and it's associated accessories, cable modem, router, laptop, etc, etc, etc.
Living on the top floor on the windward side of a small hill, knowing that
nasty ol red/green hook on the radar was within 1/4mi of my place I hit the
door. Having just enough time to check the weather rock... IT'S GONE!!!!
So now I now the wind is blowing (hence the missing weather rock), I grab
myself by the ear and tote me downstairs to hide out.. *&$@!!! you midwest
folk can keep those dang ol storms to yourselves!!!
Good news is no major damage, save for the TV, etc, router, laptop... pissy
thing is my renter's insurance only covers $1k worth, thanks to the agent
that didn't listen to what I needed covered, and thanks to me for not double
checking behind him.
