Well, the process of picking house plans has begun.  Mother is looking through books.  I am looking through books.  Thinking about solar power?  Expensive though…it would be nice.  We shall see.

  I have been looking at several tornado shelters and panic rooms. 

  The one above is out of Oklahoma.  StormSafeRoom is the manufacturer.   Looks like a good one.  The area I am moving to is no stranger to tornadoes.  The farm itself has been hit more than once directly.  An F4 passed with 1 mile a few years ago.  Numerous tornadoes have come close to the farm.  I think we should error on the side of caution when it comes to the tornado protection.

  On another note – speaking of tornadoes – it appears that severe weather will be possible on Friday and into Saturday morning across our region.  Several tornadoes will be possible.  It is still a bit early to nail down specifics.
