Last April when the tornado went by, it was so fast that we didn't have time to get scared.  The only problem we had was the trees being damage.  That was the only time I have been in real bad weather of any kind.  I don't want to have to go thru another. I just thank God we were not hurt.  I may be wrong but I believe it started in Holmes co. & never real was on the ground but there were places that some homes were really damage & when it got to Smithville it was "flat" on the ground.   It did touch down at Maben at the school in Webster Co.  Please Nova, don't send any quakes this way.   Peggy   ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, November 6, 2011 6:28 PM Subject: Re: [PTREE] earthquake Jeannine, what was scary to me was now knowing how long was it going to go  on, I'm sure it was not as long as it seemed at the time.  Boy, like the  news said, we've had a major disaster for each season this year. What is that old saying, I'm only hanging around to see what happens  next. ha    Nova . In a message dated 11/6/2011 6:12:17 P.M.
