| Wow... Good you and your dear ones safely made it through the storm. And hopefully the forthcoming ones haven't caused too much damage. I remember being in a tornado ("only" 90 mph wind) a couple of years ago in Dallas (it was around this time of the year). But the worst weather experience I have had was the gale here in Helsinki in October 2001: 170 kph winds in -3 degrees wasn't exactly very pleasant. 200 trees fell on my island, breaking a few cars and houses. Anyway, the best of luck for the rest of the summer - hopefully it's not that stormy. Cheers, mac > >Hello friends, well what a night...... > >I am sure that some of your are aware that here where I live in the USA >(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) was hit by several severe tornadoes this past >Thursday night (last night for those reading this today) just at 5:00PM >rush hour.

WELL - it DID - >our warning sirens went off all over the entire city and county - >traffic came to a screeching halt - people darting out of their cars >into the nearest ditch or business - it was so surreal.

For those who know Oklahoma City, my mother was traveling home >from Tinker Air Force Base to the south side of Oklahoma City where she >lives. She was on I-240 and Sooner Road junction - as some of you heard >from the news - that is where the devastation started - my mother and >her riding companion were heading right into the path of this F3 (winds >around 200mph) tornado. Meanwhile - I am sitting in my car trying to >get home myself - going absolutely nuts not knowing if my family was >safe as hearing on the radio that the damage and debris in that area was >very, very bad and many people were trapped in cars and collapsed >structures. It normally takes me about 15 minutes to get home - this >night it took me nearly an hour - as we had a storm of our own to deal >with - winds over 60mph, rain, golf-ball size hail, immense thunder and >frequent lightning - and tons of water covering the streets - there were >traffic accidents everywhere, people standing around in shock and >disbelief - my main objective at this point was to get home, get in >touch with my brother and my cool dog Jakko (Jack Russell Terrier) and >to start contacting family and friends. > >I tried my mother's phone and cell phone - nothing - the phones and >power were completely out in most of the entire south side of Oklahoma >City. My aunt, who lives in Moore, Oklahoma her house suffered only >minor roof/shingle damage, my uncle who works in Midwest City stayed in >shelter for about an 30 minutes he was fine - but no one had heard from >my mother or her boyfriend - who were riding home together.

| OK I'll admit that I am one of those lemmings from the US who purchases most anything Level 42 I can get my hands on. (in CD format) I just received my new "Collection" CD from Tower UK today. Imagine me quite amazed to find a compilation CD which does not include "Running in the Family" or "Lessons in Love" BUT does include "Handsome Rugged Man," "Dune Tune" and "Shapeshifter." The package is nice with a picture of the founding members and mentions only their names within. Wouldn't it be grand if a few new fans would purchase the CD and get acquainted with Level 42 prior to the "America was calling me" era. Trent | ||
