  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

not far from the house

It'd Feb, and we had a tornado coming directly at our neighbor hood.
last night around 7:45 I stepped out on the front porch and could hear the dang thing, So we grabbed the two dogs and into the shelter we went.
I understand from the news accounts that 8 people lost their lives in a town just south of us..........spring is starting earlier this year...........WOW....:lookaroun

The tornado in Edmond (North OKC), where the major damage was done in the city, was no more than 1/2 to 1 mile from my house. It was hell getting home last night...

Kids and wife were at home in the closet talking to me on the cell phone because they didn't have any power. Everytime a transformer was hit, the power surged at the office.

Crazy!

Over here in Mexico City we've never had one because of it being surounded by mountains, so I've never had one (earthquakes, now...); but I canonly imagine how bloody scared I'd be! Glad ye made it through well.

Thanks brothers, we are safe and no damage.. litter is all around us tho..
without power for about 12 hours, which is no big deal considering...
