Hello!
Yes, everything is allright. anyhow there was a tornado actually, yesterday that ruined some buildings around the city (I do not know where exactly). I just read thins afternoon in the newspaper by the way thatthe today of 54 years ago (or 45?) another tornado had passed and exactly in the same zone of the city........even if the history could tell something else, I keep thinking that climate changes, ----or better pullution --- has it's big weight on it!

I heard on the news that England actually has more tornados square mile each year than any other nation in the world...
Apparently we just don't usually hear about them.

Maybe that's because they have less trailer parks and/or more robust houses, so there's not that much damage done, compared to the US. I don't really follow this kind of news very attentively, but I get the impression that most of those trailer parks are notoriously built on hurricane routes or in tornado areas anyway... I wonder why!! ??? Probably because land is cheap in such places?

That's pretty close, land is cheaper in the mid US and manufactured homes are a fraction of the cost of a stick built house so a lot of folks live there for purely economic reasons, of course that's not the only reason since beauty is in the eye of beholder and a lot of folks live there because they love the area and the way of life. |:)\

As the classic base-joke goes (also used in Chicken Wings)... who do you think sent the weather in the first place?
We had a cloud pump near here, just a few hundred meters from where the ferry docks at the mainland that ripped up water and some roofplates, just an hours time before we arrived that very day, there were kids sailing small sailbots (ones you sit it) nearby but luckily no one was hurt, physically at least, it was shocking according to tv interviews.

Frank, you mean waterspout?
Stef, you know... maybe you're right... not many tornados in AK and not many mobile homes either... of course that could be because mobile homes tend not to be all that well insulated compared to what you can do with a house... ;)
