So sad that one lost his life to the violent storm.<br /><br />Today the sunshine is out here on The Plateau. Hope you're experiencing some of the same. Today, our ground crew at the University is out in mass cleaning up the debris from the storms. Such a relief to see the sun...<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />PaulaPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355354417513710832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-89524319739638173662011-02-28T05:19:34.646-06:002011-02-28T05:19:34.646-06:00John: No storm cellar, although we can get beneath...John: No storm cellar, although we can get beneath the house and be well-protected.A Brit in Tennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080644141670903160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-89648295042228449972011-02-27T11:49:28.633-06:002011-02-27T11:49:28.633-06:00I am scared of such winds!

I took a friend to her doctor's visit and my car was buffeted quite a bit and when I was in the waiting room the trees were whipping around like crazy. Glad to say it all settled down by the time we left and I am happy to hear your tornadoes caused no loss of life.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-1436215117691835312011-02-26T18:51:28.118-06:002011-02-26T18:51:28.118-06:00We had high winds here on the Plateau, but fortuna...We had high winds here on the Plateau, but fortunately there were no tornadoes.

Some tornadoes did ruin a small town there. So sad. I'm glad you are all safe. The picture you posted is amazing and beautiful and serene. BTW, I decided to get back into my garden blog. I still have my personal one, but the garden blog is www.GardenStems.com. You'll have to stop by.
