Stay safe @Linda, those tornados are the only thing I don't miss about living in the South! 

@jillar I'm not even in the south and we get them. I'm in Michigan I guess every place has something.

 Your in California right?

@Linda, I knew you were in Michigan that's why I was surprised the first time you mentioned tornados. I had no idea. I grew up in Alabama where they were a yearly concern.

I'm in California and we're lucky here on the Central Coast to get a thunderstorm once a year 😞

@jillar yes they are common in the south. When I was growing up in Michigan they were rare. But it seems like the last 10 years they have become more  common in the summer. Are you bothered by the fires out there?

Luckily we haven't had a lot of smoke since they got the one nearest us knocked down. I finally wised up and bought an air purifier a couple months ago and I have to say it works really good. And this coming from a huge skeptic lol

Hot humid weather sucks and brings these storm

 

The temperature here had already reached 90 degrees at 11:30 a.m.  Then a co-worker says to me: "It's supposed to get really hot by the end of the week."

 

Tennessee is home, but I here Alaska is nice this time of year.

Tornadoes in the past where I live we're not often mentioned although there were many smaller tornadoes . One tore through our farm when I was young uprooting trees , another on the way home to my dads funeral tossed cars in the ditch far away from the main highway and must have just missed us as we only saw the aftermath . 

 

We had a huge one here in the city many  years ago now where many people died.  The anniversary marks what is called Black Friday now . My husbands work was demolished soon after he dismissed the workers to go home . It was so rare in these parts everyone was unprepared but came together to save as many lives as possible . 

 

With technology and the times , things have changed , we are always getting weather watches on our phones now and across the waves by t.v. Radio etc. Many of the tornadoes develop  into nothing but still it's always better be sky watching and cautious and beware of the alerts . Learn the safest places in your home , have a plan to reach out to family etc . 

 

I won't ever forget the big one that got my city .   I can't emagine living in a place where they are of a frequent concern . 

Linda , I think you posted this last night , hope  all is ok now and it never developed . 

Stay safe .

 

The statistics were horrific: 27 people killed, 600 injured, 1,700 left homeless, and damage estimated at $300 million. Source the news.

Edmonton Tornado July 31 1987 .  😞 

My thoughts to all the families who lost loved ones as we are once again nearing that dreadful day from which those memories will never be erased but our loved ones who lost their lives fondly remembered and the courage of the men and women who raced to save lives we will always remember .

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
