Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Prayers Up for everyone in that area. Tornadoes are a devastating weather phenomenon. Just this past Wednesday we watched the following show. Curtis LaForche (Michael Shannon) lives in a small Ohio town with his loving wife (Jessica Chastain) and hearing-impaired daughter (Tova Stewart). Though money is tight, he and his family are very happy. But then, Curtis begins having terrifying dreams about an apocalypse that threatens them all. Rather than confiding in Samantha, he begins building a storm shelter in the backyard, and his strange behavior causes tension in their marriage and the surrounding community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Been there done that in 1966 St. Louis when a tornado leveled much of our subdivision and a number of others in its path. We were spared, others not so much. Lots of classmates missing from school for several days. I’ll never forget the sound as it passed overhead. Weird storms, tornadoes are. They’ll flatten one house, but leave the one next door untouched. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
