More... Day 1950 (Year 6, Day 124)

Zephyrhills, FL

This was the 2nd Shabbat (Friday night) in a row that we were woken from sleep with all the alarms ringing about a tornado warning in the area (side note: I spoke with several of my friends who have lived in the area all their lives and they all agreed this is a result of climate change; it is NOT a usual occurance). 

In any event, I looked at the local radar maps (admit we turned the tv on in addition to the internet on our phones) and saw that the area of concern was a bit north of us, although we were still in the "cone".  Rather than running to the CVS 2 miles away, we decided it probably wouldn't be hitting our campground and chose to go to the bathhouse on premises instead.

Thank G-d the tornado touched down about 10 miles away and we didn't even experience even any wind.  All was good.

Still... although we have the ability to go wherever we want in the country, looking at weather & climate patterns, there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the US that's safe year-round, whether in a tornado, hurricane, extreme snow or wildfare zone.  We are very grateful that for the past 5 years we've been fairly safe, albeit with warnings to seek immediate shelter, but there is still the fear of the future.
