New Orleans ...Cyclones and Hurricanes are bad news. New Orleans and few other places are still rebuilding here.<br /><br />I live in California, about all we get is an occasional twister that takes off someone's roof or knocks down an old barn. However, one year I looked out my bathroom window and saw the barn door behind my house lifted up and tumble over the tops of the grapevines like a piece of tissue paper. A few years ago, I snapped several shots of a twister heading right toward our house, but it blew apart even as I watched. <br /><br />Janice~Janice Seagraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576031935823587485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-34572614829414565702013-09-10T13:09:43.380-07:002013-09-10T13:09:43.380-07:00Me, too, Jerry.
