This Image Is Dedicated To
All Of You Who Have Been
In Harms Way This Season With
Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Ice Storms, Earth Quakes,
Or Any Dangerous Conditions Surrounding You.
MAY YOU ALL BE SAFE.
(Did Any Bad Storms Get Close To You??)
On July 14th, 2011 a Tornado Hit Calgary, Where I Live.
They Called It Small But I Can Tell You It Was Scary.
I Felt Our Walls Moving And Could Feel
The Suction From The Wind Raising The Roof.
LIKE OUR HOME WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF!
The Sounds of The Wind Were Something I Can't Even Describe.
Nature Became So Silent Before It Hit.
I WOULDN'T WISH A REAL TORNADO ON ANYONE.
Please, if you live in dangers way,
KNOW YOUR SAFETY RULES and BE READY!

It's good to know what each of us might have gone through and also very healthy to think of others.
Our planet can sure be a frightening violent place when it feels like it. Makes me wonder if we aren't approaching housing and city building wrongly. Maybe they had the right idea back in the Viking days? And even the early settlers and so many others. Homes built into hills and mounds with grass on top?! It was totally vernacular and it didn't cost them much, so they didn't hurt so badly when they might have "lost it all" in the storm...!!!? Lives seem to get lost as well by getting hit with debris or the crumbling buildings.
On a happy note, this image has such an amazing cloud in it. I'd like to start a club soon and call it "The Cloud Club".
Any and all are welcome to join. I'd also like it to include other strange formations we see along the way so I need to think of a clever title then I'll create the club. :)
HEY! How about "Strange Formations" ??? Lol..
Anyway thank you all so much! I hope you all stay safe, too, and that we all know each other for years to come!
