Guys,
We had a tornado touch down about 1 km from my house the other night. Pretty devistating. No loss of human life, one cat gone, but the damage is huge.
Cars with trees on top, trees in the middle of the road, trees through houses and the local funeral home, cars in houses. (no shit)
Me and mine are fine and had no damage done but to actually see this thing touch down was very impressive, saw it out my front window, trees lying horizontal with the wind. My daughter was just amazed and was frozen stiff seeing this thing. I actually had to pick her up and carry her very ungraciously into the cold cellar. It was a tornado for all of about 10 secs and then became a funnel cloud again as it flew over my roof.
By the way, the cold cellar has 5 gallons of my finest and 60 bottles of wine, some cans of spam, a couple of cans of oysters and some crackers.
I knew I was going to be OK.
Environment Canada confirmed it as a "soft tornado" last night

Guys,
You go to the Cold Cellar in case of tornados, Roof in the case of floods and snow, well, just stay inside with the Porter.
I have 5 gallons in the attic to.
Seems I have a ready use locker just about everywhere.
