Wow, Joe! No matter how much I like to see springlike weather in January, I think a tornado is just a bit too much!!

Hope everyone is okay, bet the kids got a good scare, though.

We just had a short but extremely intense thunder storm... complete with hailstones. It's back to normal (rain) now!

I saw a ribbon snake on Sunday just like mine when we were riding our motorcycles, but then again it's been in the low 80's here.
