If you guys think bad weather majically happens...watch some storm chaser shows...they have a very good idea of what days and when they (tornados) *are gonna happen...tornado watches and warnings are sent all the time. Seeing, feeling and smelling the air often gives at least 15 minutes to 1/2 hour before the squall line hits...the real storm is way behind it but that first gust can be just as strong.

*In the days before the 24 hr weather channels, doppler radar, and maybe a forecast of possible afternoon thunder showers, there was not much to go on but observation. *We did have the NOAA weather channel that was updated infrequently. *In the summer when it got very still I got really nervous. *In all likelyhood something was about to happen. *We just had to batten down and take what would come.*
