Visitors and tornado

3 days ago we got to see a family that we hadn't seen for about 6 months (maybe longer) until around 8:30 that night. We had an absolutely awesome time talking, eating, and just hanging-out and even watched a little television. Generally when visitors are visiting we don't watch the TV, but since the TV was on and the last 'Lord of The Rings' came on, we watched a little of it. Obviously didn't pay as much attention to it as we normally would have, but there ya go. Of course when they first pulled up it was sleeting, and continued to do so off & on until they left. I think it even "sprinkled" snow a little. It freaking April! Ah well, it's not unheard of in these here parts.

In local weather, on May March 31, 2008, a tornado went through Buffalo, Missouri. We're about 10 miles from there via the highway. Probably a little closer 'as the crow flies', but we weren't affected. Not that I'm bitter, but guess how many people of our blood-families called or emailed us to make sure we were okay. If you guessed ZERO you'd be correct. How sad is that?

I'm glad you were unharmed! I had not heard of that specific tornado (with only local news on the tube, we get reports like, "reports of at least one tornado along this strip" with them pointing at the weather map). BUT, I got tired of freaking out and asking those I am worried about, so I Map Quest the location of the tornado to see how close it is.

Sounds like a lovely visit. Our weather has been a bit warmer than yours but strange. Sunday got to 93 degrees and today is supposed to be high 60s.
