Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Texans Check In
Kim, Eric and the Chigger Ranch Crew here.....just wanted to let y'all know we're ok. Shaken but ok. We're in Parker county Texas which had tornado warnings an hour or so ago. No house damage but LOTS of hail... to the tune of a 3' high drift in the corner between the porch and library. We hunkered down with the cats singing to us in their carriers and everyone, including us, covered by comforters. The only saving grace was that when the hail started hosing down, it was so loud we couldn't hear the cats complaining ;) Is everyone else in the area ok? > Is everyone else in the area ok? It's windy, but dry in Central Texas. We're supposed to get some overnight storms.  SignatureVictor M.

I am in East Texas. It was actually a very pleasant day with a gentle breeze that turned into trees whipping around -- but we are now in the "watch" area. Holly and Duffy are calm and content.

Guess hail is an improvement over tornados - glad you are all safe in there, including your singing cats...I bet they were *really* serenading you....our cats always quieted down immediately when a 'cane had passed over our area in FL....they do sense it. I never saw hail the size of what goes on out here in FL. Stormed like crazy! With another storm wave headed in... Hail the size of shooter marbles, LOTS of rain and high winds...so far just lots a few tree limbs broken...nothing like a couple weeks ago......We're way North of Dallas proper.... :-) Liz > Kim, Eric and the Chigger Ranch Crew here.....just wanted to let y'all > know we're ok.

Having seen a couple of small funnel clouds.. as much as I loved watching them, I was very glad they didn't touch down. And this one was less than five miles from me http://new.edp24.co.uk/cs/photos/edp_readers_photos/category1069/picture964143.aspx http://new.edp24.co.uk/cs/photos/edp_readers_photos/category1069/picture964429.aspx > Having seen a couple of small funnel clouds.. as much as I loved > watching them, I was very glad they didn't touch down. Whoa! Isn't Burope supposed to be tornado-free? Yikes! SignatureVictor M.

Isn't Burope supposed to be tornado-free? Yikes! No. What would make you think that? See http://www.torro.org.uk/TORRO/index.php Here in the UK we average 30 a year, and given our much smaller land mass area than in the States, we the highest frequency of reported tornadoes per unit area in the world. Recognised by none other than Dr Fujita... originator of the Fujita Scale (F1, F2, F3 and so on) > No. What would make you think that? I guess I never heard of tornados in the UK! SignatureVictor M.

My husband's cousin managed to get himself killed in one in the late 70's. Ish. I can't remember the date. He was on a bus. It got struck by a tornado - or a whirlwind, I don't know the difference. It killed him, anyway. Tweed > Kim, Eric and the Chigger Ranch Crew here.....just wanted to let y'all > know we're ok. Shaken but ok.

Lots of downed tree branches, street flooding, and the commute from nightmares going on here. Hugs, CatNipped ....

We had lots of wind last night here on the S.E. Gulf Coast, but this afternoon is beautiful. Annie, who answers to Rosie and Cinder |
