Tornadoes are serious threats no doubt about it. I was taking a lighthearted look at them and with our situation in California with our earthquakes but it really is not funny at all when you happen to be caught in the middle of them. It's also really sad about the loss of life and devastation with that recent tornado in Tennessee, which is not very far from La.

There are about 1,000 tornadoes that touch down in the U.S. each year which is mind boggling. OTOH, we get earthquakes in California on a much rarer scale with big ones occuring sometimes several years or even decades apart. But one big earthquake can do the same amount of damage as a whole years worth of tornadoes that happen in the Mid West and South. And then there's the hurricanes down in Florida and the Gulf Coast which ranks right up there as well, in terms of the damage they can do.

Don and his fellow companions must be extremely grateful they made it through without a scratch. I know I would be.

All the best,
Mike
