LOL I laughed through the movie Twister whisper because it was so far off base it wasn't funny. I mean how many people really believe that any chaser in their right mind would get within 100 feet of the base of a tornado? In the first place it is physically impossible to do that because the suction ...

Hi Whisper, A slight risk for severe weather means that the conditions in and near the risk area haven't quite come together to create a higher category. Usually an area of the country under a slight risk will range from 5 to 25% chance that it might happen and with the worst area being closet to th...

Hi, I'm a tornado chaser and work as weather specialist for emergency management here locally. I've done this for over 22 years now and in the beginning I was petrified of a thunderstorm, but now, it's a piece of beauty while being dangerous at the same time. Right now we are watching the same radar...

I posted earlier, but, the one thing I am finding as my anxiety issues have drawn on longer and it has affected me a little more I have told more people (not everyone, but people I feel I can trust), however, I worry in the end people will lose trust in me or think something is wrong with me. I use ...

Hi, I'm just now coming off of 4 days with the flu and temperatures that ran as high as 104.5 degrees for over 6 hours late friday night. My avg temp was over 102.5 for over 3 days so yes I know what the flu feels like. If you took 2 doses of Nyquil it more than likely did put you to sleep for that ...

Hi Kari, no I didn't think I'd ever fly again nor did I think I'd ever go anywhere either. Now, as I sit on the front porch of this house, looking out at the gulf of mexico about 100 feet away, I know I've totally broken free of the anxiety. It will happen to you too and when it does, you will be as...

Hi, I'm in Florida again tonight as I write this. I came down for dad's surgery this round which was yesterday. He's had a quad bypass & a defib put in on top of that. More information on that is in Mello Nello's prayer thread. This is the second time in less than 10 days I've been here in Naples Fl...

As most of the people in the chat room knew, my mother was to have heart surgery this past Wednesday, January 16 2008, at a hospital in Naples Florida. I live in a small town here in Indiana, which is over 1100 miles from my parents. I wanted to be with mom when she went into surgery but with the la...
