Watching the tornadoes in Dallas area

It was just a little after 5:00 am when I rolled out of bed. Sherri was already up and getting reading to go to work. I went to the kitchen and flipped the switch on the coffee maker and then sat down to wait. Sherri joined me and we poured us a cup of coffee and enjoyed each others company while sipping our morning nectar.

We usually have about 45 minutes together before she has to head out. We always try to stay as close to the store she is working at as we can. This allows her to leave later and still make it to work in time. Just being able to carry your house with you and getting to go home everyday after work is worth the extra she has to pay. Dragging me along with her does cost more than if she went and stayed at a hotel.

Time for her to leave did roll around and off she went. I turned to the computer and sat down to type out my post for the day. What a day it was. The sky was clear and the temps were suppose to reach the upper 70’s. The park is about half full and from what the lady told me at the office it will be full this weekend. Not sure where all the folks come from that fill the park up on the weekends but my guess would be Lafayette. I did notice some MH here from NY and some from Missouri. I guess a lot of folks returning from a winter on the coast come through here on their way home.

I stayed on the computer most of the day. I found out that I could get a signal from the free wifi at the office and I read some of my emails. The signal would come and  go with the wind but it was nice having a link to the outside world. One thing about traveling if you don’t have your WIFI you sure lose contact with everyone. There is so much information on the Internet that you can tap into. Sometimes I come up with a questions that I need an answer to and I can go to the computer and get it without too much time. What a wonderful invention Al Gore came up with….RIGHT?…

Around noon I turned on the TV and went to the Weather Channel to see what was in store for this part of the country. The first thing I saw was a tornado in Dallas area. Arlington…Lancaster…Mesquite and some other cities were all in the path of this tornado. There were trailers flying through the air like they were made of paper. Not RV trailers these were empty freight trailers and they were flying everywhere! Now all these flying trailers had to come  down sometime and when they did more damage was made. Tornadoes in the open country are  bad enough but in the city as this one was…well you are going to have a lot of damage and possibly injuries.

I am not sure if we had any damaging winds out at the lake. They never report on that part of the country unless there is a tornado and then it is just mentioned not really reported. I pray that I have no damage there. You know a guy can’t get insurance on property unless he has a home on it. Now that never has made since to me. Seems like if you pay a premium you could get anything insured.

OK today is going to be mostly spent here inside on the computer as long as I have a signal. Maybe I can catch up on my emails and find out what is going on…
