    Thanks all

    We had another Tornado coming towards Ft. Rucker but it fizzled out. By then I was back home in a neighboring town.

    I'm still amazed how CLOSE this thing was to me and I didn't even see it, nor was there any warning. I've seen several videos and pictures now. It will make me far more aware from now on. While I did finally get worried during the sirens, I never panicked, I kept waiting for thunder or to actually SEE one if there is one.

    Guess at times you don't see them until they are on top of you...

    I've also come to rely on the warnings and head ups. But there were none. Zip. No watches, no warnings. By the time the warning came and the sirens started blaring, that thing was already causing damage on the ground.

    Had I actually known or had I seen it, I would have never ran to the pasture, I would have tried to find somewhere to hunker down, hard as it is with all the huge trees there and no solid buildings. The horses would have been safer out in pasture anyway.

    My mare is very sensitive and I should have known there was "more to it" then I could see, because she was absolutely nuts.

    Thanks for the good thoughts
