According to the #1 Son, Texas is a land of weather extremes. We have lived here less than a year and have experienced the deepest snowfall ever and the hottest day on some date in August and now? now we are subjected to a close encounter with a tornado brought to us in living color thanks to Tropical Storm Hermine. Will the fun never end?

The DH informed me, while the sirens were wailing and the media and our weather radio were warning that the tornado was on the ground just a few blocks away, that there was no rush to seek cover because we would hear it coming. you know, a tornado sounds like a roaring train ......

FYI: Don't bet your life on it.
