Oil Rig explosion four from Mississippi missing


(Sun Herald)


A Hell of a week, and it isn't over yet.


A small tornado spinup (that is what Barbie Bassett at WLBT 4:30 PM tv
news called it, a small tornado spinup) was sighted near Swiftown.
cuhulin, not a spinup


I LOVE tornados. *Wish I was there.

You'd love 'em until you were in one. When I was 12, one touched down just a
couple blocks away from my aunt's house in St. Louis. They are NOT fun to
watch up that close.. : /


I understand, Brenda - but...

I chased them in Texas 1982-1983. I was an atmo sci grad student at
Texas Tech. I was:

Hit by a small tornado, probably F0-F1
Hit by baseball-sized slushy hail
Hit by lightning

We saw many tornadoes, although when we were *that* close, we had
other things on our minds besides taking pictures. Nonetheless, I'd do
it all again, every day, if I could. It was the best thing I ever
did.

I do have a few photos:
