Rats...you remind me...I need to go out and cycle the generator for awhile, thanks. :thumsup
Glad you made it through that one. Having grown up in Tornado Alley..Arkansas and even Kansas and Oklahoma for most my younger life, I'm no stranger to those things. I've witnessed their destruction first hand. I've even seen the fabled "pick and chose which homes to obliterate" phenomenon with my own two eyes when, as a child, the home we were in was only one of 4 in the neighborhood that somehow survived total devastation. I've actually survived so many glancing blows by those things, that I can almost "sense" thier presense. I'm guessing my body's just become atuned to the pressure drop. The one that played hopscotch on a line running between West Orlando/Winter Garden and Sanford/Geneva in Seminole county several years ago literally jumped my neighborhood. I listened to it fly over head as my girlfriend and I huddled in the bathtub under the bed's matress I'd stripped and thrown over us.
Nothing to fool around with, that's for sure. In Junior high, had all the glass windows sucked out of an adjacent 10 story glass office building. We could hear the glass raining down on the roof of the school.
At least with hurricanes, we get SOME warning..
That Jr. High event, we didn't know until the glass hail shower and that deafening "train" sound... Somehow, our glass windows in the classrooms stayed intact.
