although most of it is gone now. Still, we've been so dry we needed it desperately.

Tornadoes are something I can easily live without.

I always hated changing planes at DFW, it always seemed to require a sprint from one end of the place to the other, but I still hope they come through it OK.

Sadly, too few homes there have full basements.
