It is Eastern Iowa and Des Moines that are in such dire misery and threat of property loss today.<BR/><BR/>Tornadoes are more a nuisance than a danger, because when you don't take cover, that's when they git 'ya. Just about everyone has some tornado shelter in the basement. Unlike the Left Coast danger of earthquakes - when the quake comes for ya, ain't nothin' gonna save your ass.idiosynchronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130385037526106860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517715971621462038.post-63848170081430706592008-06-11T08:06:00.000-07:002008-06-11T08:06:00.000-07:00Crap.How about you and yours?
