Tornado alley runs from Texas, north to Kansas, so there are always threats of tornados here, especially in Spring and early Summer. But tornados are becoming more frequent and not quite so rare in other parts of the country as well, unfortunately. The threat is always unnerving but I've been extremely fortunate not ever to have been closer than about 10-15 miles from one actually hitting. I hope to remain as fortunate.
Severe storms down here are a pretty routine. And I do LOVE a loud rip-roaring storm, as long as nothing gets damaged or hurt.
Gee, I just heard that White Rock Creek has risen 7 feet over night; the Trinity River is at flood stage at 30 feet and expected to go to 37 feet shortly. Glad I don't live in the vicinity of either one to be directly affected.
