yes, we are among the lucky ones.
she got a flight out of Birmingham yesterday.
and, typical young women...`no big deal grandpa,
i was safe.` she walked 16th st near the campus.
total destruction. her eyes got really big.
about a hundred kids watched the entire event with
their backs to the door to the basement of the dorm.
they just had to see it.
she was safe.
thanks for all the kind notes...but, we
are more concerned for the many. god, it does
break your heart.

and, i bet there will be tornadoes and hurricanes
next year tooo, and for thousands of years to come.
only fools and arrogant people think they control
nature.
make a list of all the hoaxes that have
been spread by humans. it is long.
