Don...you’re one tough son of a gun to be standin’ out there just to get a picture of that twister to share with us

OMG !!!

That is MUCH too close for my comfort zone and WAY above my paygrade ...

Actually this was a small one!

Update: Nine tornadoes were confirmed in the area Wednesday. Thousands still out of power, including the court house. Multiple schools closed from Houston to Arkansas, mostly because of high water and/or no power.
The Red River is above flood stage here, and still rising. More rain on the way throughout the weekend.
Sheriff has called us auxiliary deputies out to help with road closures and evacuations.

Be careful out there, Don ...


And I was getting bummed out because the local 15 day forecast shows cloudy and showers ... Shame on me !!!

I can think of lot's of folks our age... who don't need to be "out there" attempting to rescue others, directing traffic or other duties of a deputy. Can you spell, "Heart Problems"... my talented friend? As Tony says, (knowing you are gonna do it or die trying)... Be careful out there, Don!

I mostly drive the patrol vehicle around and wave at people. McDonald's lets us eat free! Get to drive really fast when doing funeral escorts.
We are getting more rain today. That's ENOUGH. Golf courses and boat launches are all closed. Gotta have something to do!

Put me in, Coach! LOL!

That's probably the most dangerous part of the job .

I always eat the salad. Yes I do..
