You are right smack dab in the tornado region of the United States. I am on the Gulf Coast which deals with hurricanes every year, not to mention a VERY large and a STILL continuing oil spill, that is dwarfing the Valdez incident. California has to deal with earthquakes. My friends in Europe, Australia and throughout the world have their own issues that they need to deal with concerning mother nature as well. Bottom line...stay safe everyone!

Dealey Joe,I think there will always be plenty of construction or re-constructions in Oklahoma, and Texas to a certain degree because of our weather. My farm is about 15 miles as the crow flys from Jarrell, Texas, which seems to have a major tornado every 10 years.KirkDealey Joe wrote:Think you have been in a hail storm?Watch this one in Oklahoma City.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrVSlQK-xrA

HAY! Kirkwhat do you know about Waco?Have you ever poked around there.When I was there it was almost impossible to get information from people there.I don't blame them for trying to hide something they should have and could have stopped.

Joe,I know it to be an embarrassment not only to Waco but Texas. The truth is pretty clear, even if the facts are many and confusing. David Koresh, no matter how odd and egotistical would have just come in to town to talk, if asked, just like many times before. The local authorities had no trouble with him. The real Texas Rangers which are far and few between would have just knocked on his door politely. I have been out in that area a few times, but never to the actual site. Waco is about an hour from my farm, but the Mount Carmel site is further away. Waco is an odd town. It wants to be known as a deeply religious community because of Baylor, but has a lot of crimnal elements that are actually dangerous unlike the Branch Davidians.What many of the youtube videos about it has reinforced that the actions of ATF/FBI/Justice/Military and God knows who else were unjust, unethical and illegalKirkDealey Joe wrote:HAY!
