My sister called this morning, and she lives 90 miles away. Said there is a huge storm coming in, that I should not drive to visit a friend in a special rehab facility for lung rehabilitation. I looked it up, and sure enough there's a late winter warning from Dallas to Galveston, and the red area took up almost half the state all at the same time. It's supposed to have supercell written on it. So if you live anywhere from Corpus to the Louisiana border, batten down the hatches! Avoid unnecessary travel. Love, beautress.
Here's an artist's view of a Texas tornado:
Tornados have no compunction about hitting farmhouses, lakes, or
city high rises. My farmhouse was in the eye of a small furor a few
years back. My husband had just passed away, and I was alone.
It destroyed the screens front and back and I saw stuff flying
from north to south outfront, and from south to north out back.
I just prayed the whole time. My neighbor's beautiful home had
its roof torn off. He had about 4,000 sq. ft. on one level. So please,
If you live in its wake, batten down the hatches, lock windows,
and secure doors if you live from central Texas to the River Sabine,
you check the weather on tv, whether you might be in harm's way,
so do all you can to be safe. I still can't open windows in hot
weather because I'm not much of a 2-story handyman.
Love, beautress
Edit: one regional map: (the one half an hour ago had red as described above,
and covered the orange areas all the way out to the Gulf of Mexico.
