Nice to see the Lake Erie snow machine operating efficiently.  Almost makes me wish I was back in Mentor.  Almost. 

The civil engineers at Texas Tech University did a study regarding the Jarrell tornado and also questioned the quality of construction of the homes, namely due to a lack of stronger building standards in Williamson County and that Jarrell was/is a rural community.

Like all of us, I am so relieved to hear that you are alright JoMo. To be honest, I barely knew who you were but found myself (probably like everyone else here) coming back to check the thread frequently regarding your status!

Thank you for sharing with us your harrowing experience and I hope/pray that you and your community heal quickly.
