    I guess I'd better get to bed now too, another one that has to be up for school in the morning. Hope I get chance to pop on again soon x

    Looks like I'm here on my own :(

    Oh well, I shall finish this Vodka and head up for a cuddle with the OH - I hope she doesn't mind cold feet! :eek:
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

    Still here, didn't get to bed as watching Sky News and the storms in Mid West USA :eek:

    As most of you know I am staying at my sister's house while she and her hubbie are on their annual 3 weeks holiday to America. They flew into Forth Worth, Texas, and visited Memphis Music Festival before renting a cabin by a lake in Tennessee for a week, then stayed in one of the 'shacks' from cotton picking times, before travelling over the Newcastle, Oklahoma to visit friends they made over there for a week before driving back to Texas for their flight home Thursday

    Where they stay is on the outskirts of Oklahoma City, to the South. The current tornados hitting Mid-West have been touching down around Oklahoma City. Shawnee town to the East of OK City was devastated on Saturday evening, and further tornadoes last night. Now I see they are hitting the same area again tonight

    I emailed my Sis on Sunday and got this message back:

    Yup we were in that tornado watch and thought it would hit here at one point. We were having a fish fry party and when the warnings came on the radio everyone had to dash home for safety. Got a lot of hail damage. it kept on for ages. Had to get on the phone to Alamo and tell them the car has loads of dents in it. Can't believe the damage it's done.

    Bad weather forecast for tonight again so keep an eye out.

    Having a great time tho. Once the storm passed everyone came back and it was party time again.

    Watched the news and saw all the damage at Shawnee. When you're in it you realise how scary it all is.

    Then, today, I got a text message from her:

    Massive tornado gone through here today but we're all safe in case u see on news

    Just watching TV right now though and a tornado over one mile mile wide, could have been up to 2 miles and winds of up to 200 miles per hour, hit around Oklahoma City. They say this is the worst tornado to hit the area for a very long time. I have just checked on google maps and the place decimated tonight is about 3 or 4 miles from where my Sis is :eek: So will be waiting for word from her again tomorrow/later today:(

    They are used to it over there generally just property damage, not that that will help you any until you here from them though.
